Collaborating With Our Customers Through Capacity by Design Quanta operating companies are setting new standards in safety by collaborating with customers during early project planning to identify hazards and risks, integrate safety controls into critical work tasks, and build capacity for failure through an innovative approach called Capacity by Design. This year, we embarked on a transformative journey with one of our customers, tackling a large-scale project that set new benchmarks in occupational safety and health management. The collaborative journey began with a meticulous process of STKY control verification to ensure robust controls were in place for all identified hazards. This comprehensive approach highlighted 15 critical tasks that were intrinsic to the project’s success, laying the groundwork for a safety-first ethos. Harnessing preventive and mitigative controls, this collaborative effort brought together field personnel, operational leadership, and our dedicated safety team, fostering a holistic view of safety management. The next stage was formulating an operational learning strategy focusing on collecting data. This initiative took us directly to our craft workers, sparking meaningful conversations about critical work tasks, such as using restricted access zones during material loading and unloading. This hands-on approach provided insights into control effectiveness and bridged gaps between planning and practice. All crews were immersed in The Capacity Model™ courses, with leadership given tailored training and the Leadership Playbook, ensuring a comprehensive safety mindset across all levels. The Capacity Model™ information was shared regularly with the crews, ensuring that the principles of safety and efficiency were ingrained in our daily operations. A notable outcome is that zero STKY actuals occurred during the project, underscoring the benefit of collaboration in reducing STKY events in the workplace.

Increasing Efficiency: Modular Data Center Solutions According to the IEA, emerging services and technologies such as streaming, cloud gaming, blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality could boost demand for data services. For example, Bitcoin consumed an estimated 110 TWh of electricity in 2022, 20 times more than in 2016. At the same time, edge computing, a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the data sources, will require a compact solution capable of providing efficient power and cooling. These data centers and data transmission networks that underpin digitalization accounted for around 330 Mt CO2 equivalent in 2020, equivalent to 0.9% of global energy-related GHG emissions. A Quanta operating company has developed an advanced immersion cooling approach to modular data centers that allows for expedited infrastructure design and development with leading-edge immersion cooling technology as a turnkey solution. Each facility features an efficient modular design and immersion cooling technology that significantly reduces capital and operational expenses, improves performance and hardware reliability, and can operate in confined or extreme environments. The two-phase immersion cooling houses servers in tanks filled with dielectric fluid. The dielectric fluid removes heat from the server while not interfering with the server’s functionality. The heated fluid turns into a vapor, and cooling coils condense it back into a reservoir to efficiently recycle the dielectric fluid. Compared with conventional systems, the power savings associated with two-phase cooling are estimated to be around 60%, with potential total cost of ownership (TCO) savings of up to 50%. As a proof of concept, the Quanta operating company launched an operational modular data center facility in Northern Georgia. Phase I included a 1.5 MW immersion cooling infrastructure, configured as two 750 KW Critical Infrastructure Modules (CIM) for a total of 1,250 square feet.

The future of transportation is being built today—and Quanta is proud to play a role in making it happen. As the demand for zero-emission freight grows, so does the need for infrastructure that can support it. PAR Western Line Contractors, LLC, a Quanta operating company, helped bring FM Harbor to life, delivering a high-powered charging depot at the Port of Long Beach—all while prioritizing safety and precision. At Quanta, we don’t just power homes and businesses. We enable grid modernization, large-scale electrification, and the infrastructure that keeps industries moving forward. From upgrading power delivery to constructing the sites that make next-generation solutions possible, we’re committed to being the premier provider in this evolving landscape. A huge congratulations to Forum Mobility and all partners involved in this milestone moment for clean energy and transportation!
What a great day. On January 22, we celebrated a ribbon cutting for FM Harbor, our new flagship truck charging depot in the Port of Long Beach. It’s a big milestone for our company, and for zero emission freight in general. The event had over 200 attendees (40 carriers!), with speeches by Matt LeDucq, CEO of Forum Mobility; Rex Richardson, Mayor of Long Beach; Bonnie Lowenthal, President of Long Beach Harbor Commission; Mario Cordero, CEO of Port of Long Beach; Liane Randolph, Chair of California Air Resources Board; David Hochschild, Chair of California Energy Commission; Gideon Kracov, SCAQMD and CARB Boardmember; and Matt Schrap, CEO of Harbor Trucking Association. Forum Mobility was founded with a vision for making the transition to zero emission for fleets both simple and equitable -improving the environment but also helping truckers grow their fleets and thrive. Speakers addressed the difficulty of charting new paths and also the joy and fulfillment of creating new things, things we know we need but do not yet have. Commissioner Lowenthal and Mario Cordero spoke to the pleasure of seeing plans on paper turn into actual trucks and chargers. Chair Randolph spoke of CARB’s commitment to continue to find a path forward on zero emission trucking – including increased funding. Chair Hochschild highlighted California’s history of leadership in commercializing clean tech solutions. He drew a parallel to solar: in 2004 it took a year for the world to build a gigawatt of solar; in 2010 it took a month, 2016 a week, 2022 a day, 2023 half a day. Solar went from too expensive to take seriously to the lowest cost and fastest growing energy source in the world – and that’s the trajectory that ZEV trucking is on. Matt Schrap, batting clean-up, spoke eloquently of all the progress the drayage community has made to reduce impact while providing essential services. FM Harbor is a jewel of a site, with 44 high speed dispensers and 9 MW of power. This great project was made possible through the collaboration and dedication of our valued partners: · Port of Long Beach: Our landlord, leading the way in emissions reduction for the community · Southern California Edison (SCE): Providing a lot of clean power · Zerova Technologies USA: Delivering reliable charger technology · GAA Architects, Inc.: Designing a state-of-the-art command center to enhance safety for drivers and fleets · PAR Western Line Contractors, LLC: Leading construction safely with zero injuries And a special thank you to our customers— Amazon, Talon Logistics Inc., ReDefined Transportation, Legacy Drayage Inc., JASPEM TRUCKLINE INC., Green Fleet Systems, AI Trans, and Hunter Drayage—for trusting us to power your transition to zero-emission freight. There are still depot reservations available – if you are interested in combining the lowest cost electric truck lease on the market (via Climate United) with reliable charging in a convenient location, Ron A Hunt can set you up.
