BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – Cumulus, an award-winning Quality Execution System (QES) has formed a strategic partnership with Fulcrum Reliability Systems to drive performance, accountability, and efficiency in mission-critical construction projects. According to today’s announcement, by combining Fulcrum’s deep field and commissioning expertise with Cumulus’ real-time digital verification platform, both companies will be able to deliver a modern QA/QC solution that aligns with Owner expectations and accelerate project deliverables.
A Field-Tested, Owner-Aligned Partnership Built for Data Center Delivery
According to a representative for Cumulus, this collaboration works especially for data center construction projects because of the experience each partner brings to solving construction challenges. Fulcrum delivers boots-on-the-ground quality leadership, backed by a culture rooted in Navy SUBSAFE protocols. Their field inspection teams, commissioning agents, and energy marshals are trusted by leading hyper-scalers and general contractors to deliver consistent, reliable outcomes.
Cumulus complements Fulcrum’s field execution by digitizing traditionally manual QA/QC processes, turning torque logs, seal verifications, electrical testing results, and issue management into structured, auditable datasets accessible in real-time. “We are excited to be working with Cumulus to deploy a critical tool and vital piece of the quality puzzle. Training and human factors engineering must not be overlooked or minimized,” said Dale Jennings, Executive VP at Fulcrum.
Bringing Value to Stakeholders in the Mission Critical Environment
This partnership is focused on:
- Field-proven inspection expertise + IoT-powered validation
- Cleaner closeout packages with >90% reduced rework
- Schedule protection and risk mitigation
- Real-time insights across commissioning and construction
This partnership also delivers value to a variety of stakeholders across mission critical projects. For Owners and Program Managers in the data center space, it provides standardized QA/QC processes across different sites and enhances overall visibility. General Contractors (GCs) benefit from fewer documentation gaps, which in turn reduces schedule risk. Electrical contractors experience streamlined torque logging and quicker resolution of issues. Lastly, QA/QC and commissioning teams gain access to verified data, minimizing surprises during project turnover.
“We are excited to work with Fulcrum to help ‘tech-enable’ their services as they demonstrate the true value of digitizing manual, often paper-based, torque and testing QA/QC documentation on large-scale data center construction projects,” said Jon Chesser, Chief Growth Officer at Cumulus.
