EverOn DCS emerges as an independent, data center-focused construction company while T5 Operations joins Salute to strengthen operational excellence across digital infrastructure industry
T5 Services today announced the next phase of its strategic evolution, transitioning two specialized organizations purpose-built to better serve the rapidly expanding digital infrastructure industry.
Effective today, T5 Construction becomes EverOn Data Center Services (EverOn DCS), an independent data center construction company dedicated exclusively to delivering mission-critical digital infrastructure.
At the same time, T5 Operations enters a definitive agreement to join Salute, bringing together two industry-leading operations organizations to expand global capabilities, strengthening operational performance and helping customers maximize uptime across their mission-critical facilities.
Together, these strategic moves position both organizations to accelerate growth, deepen specialized expertise and better serve customers across the data center lifecycle.
“Today’s announcement is about positioning our business and our customers for the future,” said Tom Mertz, formerly Chief Operating Officer & President, T5 Services and now President and CEO of EverOn Data Center Services. “Our growth to $1.7 billion in revenue, with 83% generated from third-party customers, reflects the strength of our team and the confidence leading developers and hyperscalers place in us. While our name is changing, what customers rely on is not. EverOn gives us the opportunity to focus entirely on helping customers build increasingly complex digital infrastructure while creating the flexibility to grow alongside the industry we serve.”
EverOn DCS represents the natural evolution of a construction business that has grown from $87 million in revenue in 2021 to $1.7 billion in 2025, 83% of that revenue due to third-party construction projects. Originally established within T5 Data Centers, the business now serves a diverse portfolio of hyperscale, developer, enterprise, and AI customers across North America. Establishing EverOn as an independent company provides the dedicated focus, agility, and scale needed to support this rapidly growing third-party customer base and meet the industry’s next generation of demand.
