Ramboll announces it has acquired leading US data center consultancy EYP Mission Critical Facilities (EYPMCF)

EYPMCF is a pioneer in data center strategy, planning, design and commissioning, supporting clients all around the world to store, secure and move digital assets.

Michael Simmelsgaard, chief operating officer at Ramboll said: “We are very excited to be welcoming EYPMCF’s experts to Ramboll.

“For more than two decades, Ramboll has provided expert environmental, water, energy and building services to data centers helping our clients to design, construct and maintain energy- and water-efficient solutions around the world.

“With EYPMCF we add a company with deep technical domain knowledge of mission critical facilities which will strengthen our consultancy in integrated, innovative data center solutions and strengthen Ramboll’s position in the international premier league of data center consultancies.”

Data centres account for 1% of global energy use

The acquisition strengthens Ramboll’s commitment to lowering the carbon footprint of the industry, with global data usages predicted to continue to increase by 25% per year and data centres already accounting for 1% of global energy use.

Simmelsgaard added: “Two huge trends are shaping our world today: the climate crisis and the digitalisation of society. As digitalisation advances and more and more data is transferred, used and stored by people and businesses, data centers have a critical role to play in supporting a green circular economy.

“As a trusted partner for sustainable change who is committed to embedding sustainability into everything we do for our clients, our role is to ensure that the facilities we design, build and operate on behalf of our clients are at the cutting edge of environmental performance.

Zero waste data centers

“At Ramboll we operate with the mindset that 100% renewably powered, zero waste data centers are achievable.”

Ramboll now has more than 100 data centre experts globally and expects revenue from its data centre consulting services to reach $60million in 2025.

Rick Einhorn, managing partner at EYPMCF, said: “Joining Ramboll is a great opportunity to expand our consulting and engineering services to our existing global client base while bringing our technical expertise into Ramboll’s existing and future clients across 35 countries around the world.

“Ramboll is strongly dedicated to supporting the sustainable development of the data center industry, which resonates with our own position on how crucial it is to reduce the data centers’ climate footprint on our society.”
