Meta Data Center New Albany

Project Recap: Meta Data Centers – New Albany, Ohio

The Meta Data Center in New Albany, Ohio, is a key component of Meta’s global infrastructure, powering the technologies and services that connect billions of people worldwide. The groundbreaking for this $1.5 billion facility took place in 2017, marking the start of a project that would soon employ over 1,200 construction workers and eventually create more than 300full-time jobs. Additionally, the center contributes over $5.5 million annually to local school funding, underscoring its long-term value to the community.

Mt. Carmel Stabilization Group was among the first contractors onsite, working alongside the George J. Igel Company to ensure the project’s success from the ground up. Between January and November 2022, our team was tasked with soil modification and soil stabilization across nearly 620,000 square yards of the site. This process involved the application of over 42,000tons of lime kiln dust, effectively preparing the ground to support the massive infrastructure of the data center.

Our involvement in the New Albany Data Center project reflects Mt.Carmel Stabilization Group’s extensive experience in supporting data center construction. As a preferred contractor for soil stabilization in this sector, we have played a crucial role in the development of both edge and hyperscale data centers across six states.
