Day Two

• Defining clear sustainability specifications that can be executed at project level
• Aligning contractors and suppliers on measurable targets and responsibilities
• Integrating sustainability into procurement and delivery without slowing progress
• Ensuring accountability mechanisms translate strategy into real outcomes

• Evaluating owner-direct early works versus GC-managed civil works to identify risks and limitations of each delivery model
• Clarifying "pad-ready" requirements to reduce rejected turnovers and prevent delays to vertical construction
• Establishing clear handoff protocols through defined control transfer, acceptance criteria and contract language to improve coordination under either model

• Finding efficient strategies for forecasting total resource demand across labor, materials, and equipment to avoid overcommitment
• Scaling workforce strategically to meet project demands without compromising quality or safety
• Building more resilient trade contractor networks to support large-scale and overlapping project schedules

• Understanding how late changes and incomplete information from trade partners disrupt schedules and critical path activities
• Clarifying ownership of scope and decision-making across owners, GCs, and contractors
• Improving communication between teams to prevent stacked trades, blocked work areas, and delivery conflicts
• Exploring how leading owners are increasing involvement to drive alignment across teams, schedules, and execution

Please make your way to Track 1, 2, 3 or Track 5 to continue your conference journey.

• Defining what owners need from BIM models to support operations long after construction is complete
• Building the foundation for future digital twins through consistent data, asset information, and modeling standards
• Delivering accurate asset information at handover to support smoother facility management and maintenance
• Preparing architects, contractors, and trade partners for evolving owner requirements through standardized workflows and ISO 19650-aligned processes

• Identifying early warning signs in geotechnical reports across Eastern markets that signal the need for ground improvements
• Evaluating how regional constraints like wetlands, floodplains, and brownfield sites impact foundation design, buildability, and schedule risk
• Managing how complex ground conditions influence key design decisions, including shallow vs deep foundations and single vs multi-story builds
• Avoiding late-stage surprises by strengthening upfront site investigations and aligning hyperscalers, colocators, geotech consultants, and contractors early

Please make your way to Track 1, 2, 3 or Track 5 to continue your conference journey.

• Understanding where coordination breaks down between external infrastructure (e.g. medium/high voltage, duct banks, substations) and internal building systems
• Exploring how late changes to external designs (e.g. cable routing, capacity) impact completed or ongoing internal works
• Identifying challenges in coordinating across multiple contractors who have separate scopes but shared dependencies
• Assessing how communication gaps and unclear ownership at these interfaces increase delivery risk and safety concerns

• Understanding the limitations of current cooling performance for higher heat loads to identify areas for retrofit
• Understanding routing and operational limitations that can impact cooling system upgrades and complicate installation in live environments
• Exploring differences between standardization vs customisation in liquid cooling retrofits

•  Exploring how innovative fixing solutions improve efficiency and address complex installation challenges across data centre projects
• Leveraging robotic innovations to enhance productivity and precision across construction activities
• Demonstrating BAUBOT in action to showcase practical applications of robotic automation
• Improving productivity, precision and on-site safety through robotic construction technologies
• Integrating engineering support with project execution to streamline construction workflows

• Understanding why controls integration often becomes a critical path to final system testing, acceptance, and handover.
• Identifying how unresolved design, installation, programming, and interface issues create delays during commissioning.
• Using offsite simulation, testing, and pre-validation of sequences of operation to uncover issues earlier and reduce onsite rework.
• Establishing clear readiness criteria and cross-team coordination to ensure equipment, controls, networks, programming, and system dependencies are resolved before integrated testing begins.

• Determining if existing floor loading, roof structures and support systems can sufficiently accommodate modern equipment
• Investigating structural reinforcement strategies that enable refit viability while minimizing operational disruption and construction complexity
• Recognizing when existing structural limitations make retrofit projects economically and commercially unfeasible

• Exploring how Prometheus developed protocols for documenting existing site conditions to create a more reliable foundation for retrofit design and planning
• Assessing how Prometheus improved project predictability and reducing redesigns, schedule delays and operational risk through validated as-built documentation and early identification of hidden infrastructure conflicts
• Identifying how Prometheus leveraged field verification tools such as laser scanning to strengthen design precision and avoid harming the live environment

• Understanding how material selections impact structural loading, installation sequencing and long-term maintenance requirements across retrofit projects
• Identifying when operational requirements necessitate alternative installation approaches to reduce disruption to uptime
• Choosing alternative piping materials and connection methods that reduce hot work to minimize operational risk

• Navigating strict uptime constraints in live data centers by aligning retrofit execution with operational controls to protect customer workloads and system resilience
• Improving planning for shutdowns, cutovers and integration activities to minimize disruption and maintain operational continuity
• Developing contingency and risk mitigation plans that enable rapid response when construction activities, outages or sequencing do not go as planned
• Identifying construction challenges that differentiate retrofits from new builds
