The ProLift Rigging Company, a leading provider of industrial construction solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with BluePrint Supply Chain, a specialist in mission-critical supply chain management. This collaboration has led to the creation of the Data Center Construction Alliance (DCCA)—a comprehensive initiative designed to streamline end-to-end construction and logistics for data center owners, contractors, and manufacturers.
By combining ProLift Rigging’s expertise in project management, rigging, and engineering with BluePrint Supply Chain’s specialized knowledge in program management and logistics, the DCCA delivers standardized, scalable, and efficient solutions for data center construction projects across North America.
“Most data center construction projects are handled locally, utilizing local crane & rigging services with supply chains supported by national freight forwarders or third-party logistics companies,” said Jesse Taylor, President and CEO of The ProLift Rigging Company. “As data center designs become more complicated and jobsite locations more geographically diverse, this multi-vendor system can lead to inefficiencies and project delays. The DCCA is the logical next step for the data center construction industry—consolidating critical services and concentrating knowledge, experience, and skill that can be applied to multiple jobsites, accelerating speed to market by creating standardized, predictable, and measurable outcomes.”

Beyond operational efficiency, the DCCA will drive industry-wide innovation through advanced engineering and analytics. In the coming months, the alliance will establish a steering committee comprising construction experts, project engineers, and critical gear manufacturers to address industry-wide challenges related to construction and supply chain operations.
“Our goal is to position the DCCA as a resource for the entire industry,” said Jarret Atkinson, Vice President of Operations for BluePrint Supply Chain. “Our steering committees will strategically lean into universal construction and supply chain challenges for the betterment of the entire industry.”
By bridging gaps in data center construction and logistics, the Data Center Construction Alliance aims to enhance project efficiency, reduce delays, and create a more predictable, scalable model for an industry facing increasing demand and complexity.
