Everything is expensive and one misstep can cause damage; putting all those parts and pieces together in an efficient system is the most difficult part. However, EAS has manufactured thousands of modular cooling plants, providing gigawatts of cooling to date. We take for granted how easy it has become for us, but it is no joke!”

EAS has our client in mind throughout the whole process, and it’ s our own solution without other outside forces potentially working in silos.”
For mission-critical projects, the clearest advantage EAS offers is time, as it can typically reduce a build schedule by 25 percent or more.“ Time savings begin at the design stage,” Bill says.“ We ensure the design considers manufacturability, constructability, cost, and schedule, rather than the design
