When you need us, we show up, and we're proud to say we deliver regardless of strict protocols and anticipated issues. Recently, our Projects team led a multi-million dollar data center deployment for a critical pipeline project and we delivered it ahead of schedule, despite several project interruptions and setbacks. Regardless of impossible deadlines, inaccurate infrastructure data, and cross-company coordination, our team built portable disaster recovery environments and ensured no interruption to the pipeline flow. This project showcases our Projects team's relentless commitment to excellence, speed, customer success, and ultimately, the #ONETEAM attitude.
The project at hand involved was complex. Our team was brought in to stabilize, strategize, and execute under extreme pressure—delivering results way ahead of schedule.
With oil flow on the line, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Centre was called in to lead a critical data center project in Canada, working across three companies in the oil and gas industry, all with different expectations and systems. Travel restrictions, inconsistent infrastructure data, and change management burdened by red tape put the project two weeks behind before it even began.
Worse yet, if the data center wasn’t implemented correctly, pipeline operations risked coming to a halt, costing millions in downtime.
"When this project landed, the ITC team was already fully booked. When we took this on, we really had a tiger by the tail. The team stepped up big, adapted fast, and put in the long hours to get this effort back on track. We brought in heavy‑hitter contractors, built relationships that now power other major projects, and learned lessons that set us up for future success. I’m incredibly proud of this team—Madison, KB, Don, and so many others—who helped deliver the impossible and get this project past the finish line. #ONETEAM"
