HOLLYWOOD, FL, Mar 17, 2025 – NV5 has announced that it completed the acquisition of Herman Cx. Founded in 2016, Herman Cx supports data center infrastructure for U.S. technology companies, the financial services sector, and co-location data centers across the United States.
“The acquisition of Herman Cx is another positive step in the growth of NV5’s domestic data center business, expanding our commissioning capabilities for hyperscale data centers,” said Ben Heraud, CEO of NV5. “Mission critical commissioning provides cross-selling opportunities for our MEP-technology design, fire protection, and power delivery services, and it delivers a recurring revenue stream long after the design and construction of data center facilities.”
The company’s engineers and commissioning authorities perform design reviews and functional and infrastructure testing to ensure data center cooling, power, and safety systems meet design standards. They have commissioned hyperscale data center projects with capacities of up to 175 megawatts. Their services cover all five levels of mission-critical testing, from factory component tests to system interoperability checks.
“Data centers continue to be a strategic growth driver for NV5, generating over 20% organic growth, and we are excited for the cross-selling opportunities that will come from this acquisition, “said Andrew Chang, chief operating officer of buildings and technology at NV5.
