Milestone reflects a strong culture of accountability, communication, and job site safety.
Chicago – May 11, 2026 – Clune Construction has reached 1 million work hours without a recordable incident on the CTX1 Data Center project in Houston, Texas, a large-scale retrofit of Serverfarm’s nearly 500,000-square-foot facility. The milestone coincides with Construction Safety Week, a national initiative spotlighting the critical importance of health and safety across the industry.
At the core of Clune’s culture is a commitment to safety — not as a protocol, but as a mindset and core value that shapes how the firm plans, builds and leads. Project-specific safety plans are developed from the outset of every build, mitigating risks, encouraging diligence and ensuring that every worker goes home safely.
“Reaching this milestone is the result of consistent execution and a continuous commitment to improvement,” said Alfredo Gonzalez, Clune Construction’s Site Safety Manager. “The team’s culture of accountability and awareness, minimizing risks and keeping proactive decision-making at the forefront.”
The CTX1 project involves a complex, phased retrofit of an operational data center campus capable of scaling to 92MW, a scope that demands precise coordination across multiple crews and subcontractors. Sustaining 1 million work hours at that scale required clear and continuous communication at every level of the project, aligning expectations and ensuring safety remained a shared priority for all stakeholders from start to finish.
“Clune has been an exceptional partner on CTX1 from the start. Reaching one million hours without an incident reflects the level of safety, execution, and partnership required for a complex, live operational campus. Milestones like this also support local hiring, apprenticeship growth, and broader community investment, helping create long-term economic opportunities beyond the project itself,” said Scott Pfiffner, Director of Construction NAM at Serverfarm.
Clune’s track record of active engagement, open dialogue and mutual respect across project teams has been central to sustaining this level of performance. The firm remains committed to upholding these standards through every phase of construction at CTX1 and beyond.
