T5 Services split its construction and operations businesses into two separate companies effective September 1. The construction side spins off as EverOn Data Center Services, while the operations team joins Salute under a definitive agreement.
The construction business isn't starting from zero. Formerly T5 Construction, EverOn DCS grew from $87 million in revenue in 2021 to $1.7 billion in 2025. Third-party clients, not internal T5 projects, accounted for 83% of that.
By the numbers:
260+ completed construction projects
12 million+ square feet of delivered data center space
Nationally licensed general contractor status
EverOn's scope covers ground-up campuses, data hall fit-outs, retrofits, design-build work, commissioning oversight and QA/QC. The company also brings expertise in direct liquid cooling and high-density AI infrastructure builds inside live, energized facilities.
Who's Running It: Tom Mertz, formerly COO and President of T5 Services, now leads EverOn as President and CEO. Pete Marin, CEO and Chairman of T5 Data Centers, said establishing EverOn gives the construction business "the independence and focus to continue scaling."
For existing customers, nothing changes about contracts, project teams or day-to-day relationships. Meanwhile, T5 Operations joins Salute to expand its reach across the data center lifecycle.
Growing from $87 million to $1.7 billion in four years will get any division a name change. Now EverOn just has to keep building at that pace on its own.
