Step inside the fast-moving world of data center construction and operations in this episode of Future of Risk, hosted by Matt Wagner, Head of Construction Property at Zurich U.S., joined by Bill Ingram, VP of Technical Operations, and Joseph McManigal, Senior Risk Engineer, South, both with Zurich Resilience Solutions. The conversation offers a firsthand look at how risk engineers' approach some of today’s most complex, high stakes builds. From the moment they arrive on site to the final stages of commissioning, Bill and Joseph share the details that can determine project success—highlighting how coordination, early planning and disciplined execution can make or break a project. The takeaway is clear: build it right, respond quickly to issues, and plan for the long term, because in data centers, every decision can have lasting impact.
