Data center construction monitoring with Propeller
Data center projects move fast, involve massive crews, complex design plans, and leave no room for error. Propeller gives your team a shared, high-precision view of every site, every day.
- Track work against design and verify daily progress
- Maintain defensible records to avoid disputes, fines, and rework
- Easily record as-builts for utilities and earthwork
Guided demo
Data center solutions
Combine drone surveys, machine telematics, and automated reporting into a single integrated platform built for hyperscale data center projects.
at a $500M excavation firm
“With visual proof from historical flights in Propeller, we shut disputes down before they even start.”
at a multi-state civil contractor
“Propeller is the most use tool during our daily logistics and planning meetings. All of our teams and subs are aligned on goals and schedule.”
at large industrial earthworks contractor
“The Propeller drone program saved us over $3M last year in preventing fines and rework. Full adoption would have netted us closer to $10M in savings.”

How Propeller monitors data center construction
Propeller combines drone surveys, machine telematics, and automated reporting into a single integrated platform built for hyperscale data center projects.
1. Capture
Drone and machine data are collected daily, capturing high-precision as-built conditions across your site
2. Visualize
See progress across crews, sites, and contractors in one shared map and dashboard
3. Verify
Daily verification ensures everyone is working from up-to-date plans, design changes are communicated, and work is defensible
4. Act
Use insights to make confident decisions, adjust schedules, allocate crews, and maintain compliance
Benefits for your team
Project Managers / VDC Managers / Estimators
- Maintain a single source of truth for portfolio-wide progress
- Generate defensible, as-built reports for pay applications and audits
- Instantly validate work-in-place quantities against BIM models and takeoffs
Field Supervisors / Site Superintendents
- Track daily work-in-place and subcontractor performance
- Prevent costly rework by identifying conflicts early
- Equip all crews with instant, on-demand site maps on mobile
Survey Managers / Field Engineers

- Perform daily as-built verification against design files
- Generate accurate progress reports and export data directly to CAD/BIM
Why accurate, daily daata matters for data center construction
Data center earthworks are high-stakes: every misstep can cost millions, delay schedules, or create legal exposure. Propeller turns complex sites into a single, manageable view, giving your team daily confidence:
- Avoid costly rework, utility strikes, and compliance penalties
- Maintain defensible visual records and documentation
- Optimize manpower and make data-backed decisions across crews and sites
