New Year, New Leadership!

P1 Project Manager Hayley Leonard has taken over leadership of the intern program in 2026. Once a P1 intern herself, Hayley is committed to helping interns get the right kind of experiences during their time at P1.

“I offered to help Sarah [Garcia] last year with the program, and she welcomed me in and showed me the ropes of everything she coordinated for the program – which is a lot!”

“I wanted to get more involved not only because it impacted me positively when I was an intern, but because of how many full-time P1 employees we hire from our interns.”

Hayley credits Sarah and her team with how well the program has been built over the past few years.

“My goal is to continue to maintain the standard that has already been set by Sarah, and also encourage other P1 associates to become involved and aware,” she said “It takes a village, and I want to give the interns plenty of opportunity to make the most of their summers.”

On that note, Hayley encourages all the interns to take initiative, making sure they are getting the most out of their time at P1.

“My advice is to ask questions and be involved,” she said.

“If you need more to do or want more opportunities, reach out and ask! Most of the doors P1 has opened for me came from taking initiative and asking for those opportunities.”

“Everyone at P1 wants to help you succeed and we are always willing to help.”

CREATING PARTNERS FOR LIFE The Key to P1’s Success in the Demanding Data Center Market

P1 has been doing data center, or “advanced technologies” work for more than 15 years. By nurturing relationships, demonstrating flexible multi-trade capabilities, and delivering great results, P1 continues to become a trusted partner for large customers like Google, Meta, and Panasonic.

And what happens when you do a good job? You’re asked to do more! In the next few months, we’ll bring you the stories of three active Google data center projects as this market continues to grow exponentially in the Midwest and across the U.S.: NRD, KNC (following pages) and Muskogee (later this summer). 

NRD2A/Mechanical, Kansas City, MO High expectations. High efficiency. High quality. These are just a few phrases that describe what it’s like to work on a project like NRD, the 500-acre Google data center campus.

“Once you’re in, and you perform well, you become a preferred contractor,” Project Engineer Parker Jenkins said. “GCs and owners are more likely to call upon us as a trusted trade partner in the future.”

“When it comes to the actual work in the field, hyperscale project installations aren’t that different from traditional construction projects, there’s just a lot more of it,” Superintendent Cole Mescher said.

Senior Project Manager Mark McGrath notes projects like NRD involve a lot more management.

“It’s the fast pace and schedule-driven nature that makes the experience different from our traditional markets, and presents new challenges for this P1 team.”

A JE Dunn/Global joint venture, the original project scope for building 2A was awarded to P1 in October 2025. Currently, P1 has mechanical work in both NRD 2A and 3A, with the Building Technologies team completing work in 1A. Keeping data center equipment just the right temperature for optimal performance requires a lot of cooling, and that is the main focus of P1’s mechanical team, including nearly 5.5 miles of process cooling water (PCW) piping.

“The owner is more demanding about what they want,” he said.

“That’s the biggest difference. From preconstruction through scheduling, it’s fast, and it’s specific.”

VDC specialist James Daugherty says the depth of the modeling process is also more detailed, but with more information available.

“Due to the replication of systems from data center to data center, there’s typically a model around from similar past projects,” he said. “We can see what’s been done and have an idea what they want at the outset.”

The team agrees, due to the expeditious nature, there’s a clearer  picture and high level of organization

SAFETY FIRST, Quality Always Project Executive/Senior Project Manager Jason Quattlebaum notes that although the NRD2A team has just started, P1’s commitment to “Safety First” is already getting recognition from JE Dunn’s safety staff.

“In addition to excellent scores on safety evaluations, the P1 team continually receives positive feedback from the JE Dunn and Global teams for the attention to detail and team player attitude of the entire staff,” Jason said.

JE Dunn’s Safety Manager even recommended P1 for a Safety Spotlight feature due to P1’s innovation in developing a trailer loading system with trade partner Thermacor. The feature spotlights the efficiency and safety the system has created for unloading on site.

“It just goes to show that what P1 might consider ‘normal’ work practices are seen by others as going above and beyond,” he added.

“The P1 field team is building great relationships and it’s getting noticed.

The sky is the limit!”

-Jason Quattlebaum, Team Leader/ Senior Project Manager

Innovative Solutions through Innovative Thinking P1 Turns a New Challenge into a New Asset

INSTALLATION WORK PACKAGES: P1 developes

platform to track labor/time, manage work packages, and deliver real-time analytics.

The Installation Work Package (IWP) approach at hyperscale projects like NRD and KNC is a relatively new process to P1, and P1 teams were more than up to the task, developing tools to meet the needs of this approach and increase P1’s overall success.

Simply put, an IWP is a “mini project in a box”.

P1’s electrical teams with more data center experience have led the charge on managing IWPs, with the mechanical team learning the process through NRD. “The IWP process entails creating sub-areas of the project, dividing up the major areas into manageable sections, and is based on geography and specific work scopes,” Project Engineer Parker Jenkins explained.

Once logical sub-areas have been created, IWPs are created within each sub-area. Each IWP is roughly the amount of work a single crew doing one type of work can complete in one week. For example, a crew of six working 58 hour weeks installing conduit will expend 358 labor hours. This would represent a single IWP. “It’s a good way to plan a project out, be as productive as possible, and know what’s coming months in advance,” Parker added.

According to Director of Advanced Technology Craig Fritts, P1 has been extremely successful working with IWPs, due to P1’s ability to develop effective tools.

“IWPs are one of the most interesting new things we’ve been faced with on these projects, and the team has been crushing it,” Craig said.

“We might even be the best MEP contractor in the country for implementation of IWP.” The pilot of “MEP Tools”, led by Construction Technology Manager Jeff Peterson, has been instrumental.

“The team is currently piloting a custom-built field operations platform that tracks labor time, manages work packages, and delivers real-time analytics for large-scale projects,” Jeff said.

“By using a platform that aligns the schedule with IWP assets, timekeeping, and IWP lifecycle management - all of which incorporates with COINS and P1’s cost code structure – P1 has created a truly integrated process that meets the intent of the mandate,” Craig said.

“This gives us deep insights into labor efficiencies through our labor analytics and metrics, so we can more accurately forecast and understand trends for future work.”

An IWP is the smallest, most detailed work package within an advanced work package, designed to give field crews all necessary resources - drawings, materials, tools, and permits - to complete a specific, short-duration task safely and efficiently.

 when it comes to expectations, speed, and schedules, along with willful sharing of information along the way.

Part of P1’s vision statement says “our vision is to be the pioneering leader in construction innovation by empowering trusted partners”.

Mark says these large projects give a unique opportunity to partner not only with the owner and GC, but also with “competitors.”

“The owner drives a ‘lessons learned’ approach, and information has to be shared among trade partners,” he said.

“Everybody is open to this, and everyone just wants the project to succeed,” Cole said.

“P1 has always been an adaptable team player,” Cole added. “The owner sees us is one big team, competitors and all, so we need to play like one.”

Cole also notes that despite P1’s long history doing electrical work for data centers, it’s relatively new for mechanical, and he sees it as a growth opportunity.

“This kind of work is totally different, it brings the opportunity for more future work, and that’s a big draw for labor.

People want to come work on the data centers,” he said.

Safety Contractor Kurt Glenn notes that safety is taken seriously, and P1 appreciates the support from the Owner and GC. “We are getting a lot of positive feedback that our teams are doing really well in adhering to the stringent safety and quality requirements,” Kurt said.

“For some of us, this is a first opportunity to see what this work is like,” Mark said. “Seeing it on paper is completely different than seeing it out there, and we’ll come away with new ways to do things.” 

THE EXPERTISE OF MANY

THE POWER OF ONE

P1’s Building Technologies Division partnered with ArchKey Solutions on NRD1A. They are also doing work on KNC. Senior Integrated Solutions Manager Travis Fleming explains how P1’s off-site manufacturing has made their work at NRD more efficient.

“Scott Bond Jr. and his team in P1’s electrical shop fabricated basket tray hangers and door kits for security systems, making installation in the field faster and safer.”

“This is a fast paced project with P1 performing all pathways, cabling, device installation and certification of technology systems so coordination between trades and partners is critical to keeping teams moving efficiently.”

NRD1A •

70k+ on-site hours for technology systems

•

2,200 Cat6 drops for technology systems

•

Installation of over 11k of basket/ladder tray to support cabling systems

•

Fusion Splice Termination of 6k fiber optic strands and installation of hundreds of pre-terminated fiber optic cables

KNC3A •

Fiber backbones

•

Patching and certifications from the e-houses to the Unit Substation Switchgear (USS)

•

Power Module Distribution Center (PMDC) and generator equipment in the electrical yard and the Power Distribution Center (PDC)

“This is a fast paced project with P1 performing all pathways, cabling, device installation and certification of technology systems, so coordination between trades and partners is critical to keeping teams moving efficiently.

-Travis Fleming Senior Integrated Solutions Manager

“I think the GC realizes and appreciates our ‘single source’ capability for executing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sheet metal, and millwright work. There are very few subcontractors that have this global MEP capability in the industrial space, and when a GC can minimize the number of subcontractors they have to manage, it alleviates a substantial amount of work and risk.”

KNC3A Electrical Kansas City, MO

“You tie your boots different on these sites.”

-Kaleb Smith, Team Lead/Senior Project Manager 

Even though P1 teams have been working on Google data center projects for nearly two decades, KNC3A marked a milestone for P1 as the first project with this client in which P1 was awarded the entire electrical scope of work for building, not just select areas.

Much like P1’s other hyperscale work, the fast pace drives the need for a different approach to everything from managing the large P1 team on site to executing the Installation Work Packages (IWPs).

“I look back on the last eight months and I’m still amazed it all came together with as few bumps as it did, given all the new faces, and the fact that construction actually started very early,” Director of Advanced Technology Craig Fritts said.

When the project mobilized in December, P1 didn’t have a trailer yet, but Senior Project Manager Kaleb Smith says some of the team stayed in the hotel space across the street.

“This required next-level patience on the part of the project team and support staff as we worked through the various issues that popped up.”

Kaleb says even for data center work, this one was a fast shotgun start that had P1 on its toes from the outset.

P1 has built a solid reputation with Google over the years through our work at the Pryor, OK, site, amassing lessons learned and making P1 a preferred contractor. 

“Even without our office space, it was important to get everyone familiar with the site, understand client expectations, and establish the rapport with our counterparts at JE Dunn,” Kaleb said.

With or without a trailer, work was already underway, and the team was pulling tools and equipment from their truck beds to hit the ground running.

Senior Superintendent Corbyn Schuler boils down

“It’s not about the cheap contractor, it’s about availability, working knowledge, familiarity with the work, and ability to meet the needs of the schedule,” he said.

“The only time money comes into the conversation is ‘how much is it going to cost to do this faster?”

The KNC3A team is sizeable, so management of the team becomes as important as the construction work itself.

“What makes us successful is setting clear expectations up front, and making sure the team understands that accountability is the driver of profitability,” Kaleb said.

“While we’re implementing practices based on lessons learned from past projects, we also want to make sure every team member knows they have a voice,” he added.

“Everyone has different ways to do things that could be just as good - or better - as the way we did it before.”

“We are vulnerable and transparent with each other, because that’s how we’re going to succeed,” Project Manager Mark Grant said.

“We all come from very different trade backgrounds, but ownership of mistakes and victories helps us move forward and ensure we, as a team, are helping lift all members of the team.”

Project Manager Camden Wheatley notes the team’s camaraderie makes a big difference in helping P1’s next generation build their expertise.

“We have a young, hungry team that’s learning as we implement this project,” he said.

“I see this benefitting the company down the road. We are the next generation of leadership, and we’re not only learning how to execute, but learning how to do it in a way that fits the P1 culture.” 

KNC3A Quick Facts • Size: 80 megawatt • 15.5 miles of 15kv cable • 2,800+ light fixtures • 66 skids (40 ft. x 8 ft.) for exterior switchgear • 4+ miles of cable tray • Owner: Google • GC: JE Dunn • Contract Amount: $124,143,619.00 • Est. Completion: July, 2027

Corbyn explains that even though data center work seems “cookie cutter” the projects constantly bring new designs.

“As this job progresses, we’ve been out at the P1 fabrication shop in Lawrence, working with Google, on how to eliminate parts of the planned design as it changes,” he said. “We’re constantly making changes, and we have to do it on the turn of a dime.”

Corbyn points out that the field is running at 100 miles an hour, and Kaleb says the office staff – from senior project managers to support – is there for one thing: to support the field.

“We’re not the ones performing the work, so our success doesn’t exist without our field talent. They set the tone and the standard. They tell us where to be and when,” Kaleb said.

Another aspect of hyperscale work “outsiders” don’t understand is the amount of teamwork required between more than just one organization.

That can include sharing information with everyone, from competitors to completely separate project sites.

“People don’t see the sheer inclusion and amount of people that have to come together to make these projects work,” Corbyn said.

“Not only do we share lessons learned on this site, but with other sites we’re not even working on,” he added.

“Learning to work with that kind of

cohesion, even when it’s a competitor, has boosted that skill set for our P1 team.”

Kaleb points out another reason P1 is successful in this market.

“Not every contractor can manage the culture it takes on site to support the demands of these projects,” he said.

“It’s only a handful of contractors, like P1, that can support the demand.”

Kaleb cites P1’s open-mindedness as a prime example of that culture.

“Leadership at P1 is open and willing to really listen and implement valuable input,” he said. “And the field has the ability to manage up.”

“We’re coordinating VDC, fabrication, Millwrights, construction,” he added.

“The fact that we are able to communicate and coordinate successfully across all parties and divisions of P1 is probably the biggest achievement accomplished on this project,” Kaleb said.

“If one trade or division of P1 fails, we’ve all failed.”

The question of “when do you need it” in the hyperscale world is always NOW. From the office to the field, and in just a short amount of time, P1 has learned what it takes to deliver projects of this nature and adapted quickly, helping others along the way to understand and adapt as well.

And that’s how you become a pioneering leader, creating partners for life. 

“It’s not about the cheap contractor, it’s about availability, working knowledge, familiarity with the work, and ability to meet the needs of the schedule. The only time money comes into the conversation is ‘how much is it going to cost to do this faster?’”

Survey Results What is a trend you’ve seen in your part of the industry that affects, or has affected, how you work (good or not so good)?

Connection:

Catalina DeLeon, Operations Administrator P1 is on a software modernization trend! Implementing M365, upgrading COINS, upgrading The Link/SharePoint: All have had a significant change to our day-to-day productivity and organizational abilities.

Greg Giessmann, General Foreman/LOTO (KNC, Kansas City) One of the biggest trends affecting Lock Out, Tag Out (LOTO) electricians is the shift from “simple construction lockout” to full time operational energy isolation management during overlapping commissioning and turnover phases. In simpler terms, this means one room may be live while another is still under construction, temporary and permanent power sources coexist, critical power loads once energized cannot be shutoff, and energy isolation points are constantly changing.

Jack Kobe, Project Manager On a couple of the job sites, the GC is posting QR codes to make it easier for the field staff to fill out required daily paperwork for that job site. This saves time from opening an app.

Glen Herring, Electrical Estimator There is less and less “face time”. With the technology such as Zoom and online sharing, facetime meetings are at a premium. I have to really be on my game for any face-to-face meetings and make it count. I remind myself to smile and keep my body language positive.

Jake Russell, Sheet Metal Foreman James Wilkinson, Foreman (KNC Kansas City) I have been working in site logistics for various contractors since 2020. The main problem affecting the job as a whole is the availability of materials. There are many items we use on a daily basis that can take 6-8 months to receive after ordering. A decent lead time in ordering is a must, especially for material coming from overseas.

One thing that has affected the construction industry in a positive way is some of software we are being trained on, and how fast we can access the information we need. ACC, for example, is a one-stop shop for information like prints, submittals, and RFIs. We have all the forms we need such as manpower requests, daily logs, and material order forms for our vendors and for our warehouse team. It makes turnaround quick for answers, and also getting material ordered and to the site.

Craig Fritts, Director of Advanced Technology To me, working in mission critical data center space, the most obvious trend is the shift from “prefabrication is a good way to work more efficiently” to “offsite manufacturing (OSM) is critical to our success”. The effect on our work is significant. OSM requires coordination and communication, both externally and internally, at a whole new level, to ensure quality, correctness, and on-time delivery to meet the project construction schedule.

Scott Chamberlain, Electrical Estimator We are challenged with fewer and fewer details on plans submitted for pricing.

Misty McConnell, Office Manager, St. Joe A lot of our customers require us to use their portals to upload submittals, plans, specs, and then we also have to upload into ACC. It’s a lot of doubling up on the work. But we make it work!

Aaron Currence, Electrical Foreman Apprentices don’t seem to be exposed to a variety of work to properly train the next generation. As an industry, it seems like apprentices used to see multiple aspects of the trades. Today, they aren’t seeing the variety of work we are expected to know and required to do. Rotating apprentices around from crew to crew might be one way to help. Without exposing them to a variety of work and different situations, I’m not sure we are doing our part as an industry.

Victoria Hoffman, Marketing and Communications Manager Using AI platforms to provide professional voiceover for in-house videos has saved us a lot of time and money. Even though AI can have its downside, there are some great applications out there, too.

Chris Myers, Estimating Manager We price jobs multiple times before we get the final number. Currently, we are working on a job that I have priced three times and we are only at the 65 percent CD drawings. I will price it again at the 100% before we are done.

August LaFauci, Safety Representative (Project Kansas) One trend in industrial construction is the increasing push for production speed and compressed schedules. Projects are moving faster than ever, especially on large data centers, battery plants, and manufacturing facilities. While the growth is good for the industry, it can also create pressure that impacts safety, communication, and planning.

I’ve seen how important it is for safety teams, superintendents, and craft workers to stay ahead of the work instead of reacting to it. Strong pre-task planning, clear communication between trades, and daily field presence make a huge difference when schedules get aggressive. When crews slow down to plan the job correctly, incidents, rework, and delays are reduced.

Balancing production with safety leadership creates better results for everyone on the project.

Matt Damon, IT Senior Systems Engineer One of the biggest trends I’ve seen in construction from the IT side is the rapid push toward digital transformation, especially the move to connected, cloud-based systems and real-time data across job sites. From an IT perspective, that’s had a major impact on how we work. On the positive side, it’s enabled better collaboration between the office and the field, more visibility into projects, and faster decision making because data is accessible in real time. On the flip side, it’s also introduced some challenges. We’re supporting a lot more systems that need to integrate cleanly, managing connectivity for remote job sites, and dealing with a much larger cybersecurity footprint as more data and systems move online. As the industry becomes more connected, the risk of things like phishing, ransomware, and data breaches has definitely increased. Overall, I’d say the trend is a net positive. It’s making processes more efficient and data-driven, pushing IT into a much more strategic role. We’re not just supporting systems, we’re helping enable how P1 operates every day.

Traffic Happens. Delays Happen. Bad Drivers Happen: How You Respond Matters Stress shows up everywhere, even behind the wheel. Taking a breath, slowing down, and choosing patience can make every drive safer for you and everyone around you.

This is especially important if you drive a P1 company vehicle. Remember, those vehicles are moving billboards for our business – and people take note if P1 drivers aren’t driving safely.

Signs of Stress on the Road: •

Tightening grip on the steering wheel

•

Jaw clenching

•

Speeding up or slowing down to “teach someone a lesson”

•

Not letting someone merge

•

Cursing or yelling at other drivers (no judgment, we’ve all been there!)

Ways to Prevent Road Rage and Stress While Driving: •

Give yourself plenty of time to get where you’re going.

•

Lower your mental noise: Put your phone away, keep notifications silenced, keep your entertainment (music, podcasts) at a lower volume.

•

Red light? Take a breath and use the pause to reset.

•

Don’t take other drivers’ actions personally. Many people are distracted, stressed, or simply careless.

•

Avoid engaging with aggressive drivers. No eye contact or gestures (you know the one).

•

If traffic is causing frustration, focus on what you can control: your speed, your attitude, and your reactions.

•

Avoid driving when overly tired, hungry, or emotionally upset.

•

Pull over safely if you feel overwhelmed or angry and need a moment to regroup.

Stay calm and drive on: Your mental health matters on the road!

HAPPENINGS

P1 is Built to Bring the COMMUNITIES We Serve to Life!

 Innovative Solutions through Innovative Thinking: Now this is what we’re talking about. Millwright General Foreman David Bramble needed a solution for welding under low-hanging skids. Sure, he could have bought the “AeroCreeper Deluxe” designed for such a purpose (and also priced at a whopping $700), but David had a better idea. He bought a $75 weight bench, added casters – and he was “off and rolling”. That’s just working smart!  Foremen Field Day: The rain may have pushed the festivities inside for a bit, but it didn’t dampen the spirit of good food, fun, and fellowship.

The foremen enjoyed grilled burgers and brats and some friendly competition playing in yard games.
