CHICAGO, IL — November 20, 2025 — The development of next-generation infrastructure rarely draws attention, despite powering nearly every part of modern life. As digital activity grows—from viral social media clips to rapid advancements in electric vehicles and manufacturing—specialized facilities are becoming more essential than ever. These “mission-critical facilities” include data centers, quantum computing labs, semiconductor production plants, advanced manufacturing hubs, cold storage warehouses, energy storage sites, and large-scale utility systems such as wastewater treatment facilities.
Constructing these facilities demands a level of precision and technical understanding beyond typical commercial projects. They require strict reliability standards, engineering that supports constant system activity, and infrastructure capable of scaling with new technologies. F.H. Paschen delivers all three with consistency and integrity.
With more than a century of experience, F.H. Paschen has grown into a respected national builder for projects where failure isn’t an option. From rebuilding transit systems to performing deep concrete foundation work beneath massive buildings, the firm has built a reputation for tackling difficult, high-stakes construction challenges without compromise. “That doesn’t stop us from delivering.”
A Foundation Built on Power, Water, and Concrete
Every mission-critical facility depends on three core infrastructure elements: power, water, and concrete. They provide the backbone of performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability in complex environments. What sets the company apart, according to Paschen’s team, is a rare mix of field expertise and engineering knowledge that allows them to build infrastructure capable of supporting intense utility demands, advanced cooling systems, and highly specialized mechanical and electrical components.
Data centers and battery storage sites, for example, rely on uninterrupted power and advanced liquid-cooling systems. Paschen’s experience includes large-scale utility and water infrastructure, such as recent wastewater work with the Great Lakes Water Authority in Michigan. “As you begin your data center or advanced manufacturing facility project, let our team apply this expertise to meet your project’s specific requirements with a high level of skill, accuracy, and confidence.”
Additionally, the ability to self-perform concrete work gives the firm greater control over quality, budgets, and timelines, ensuring that foundations support the technical systems above them both structurally and operationally. “The foundation of your project (both literally and figuratively) will support the advanced systems housed within.”
Early Collaboration for Complex Delivery
The construction of high-tech facilities integrates engineering, procurement, utility coordination, mechanical installations, and sensitive equipment assembly. For this reason, Paschen engages from the earliest planning stages and stays embedded throughout delivery. “From end-to-end or as a specialty, F.H. Paschen can help deliver value for your project.”
Whether navigating the logistics of semiconductor-grade clean rooms or securing utility access for high-demand data centers, Paschen’s process emphasizes communication, sequencing, and long-term resiliency. Each facility must withstand disruption, scale up with demand, and adapt alongside technological innovation. “Paschen can ensure that you are ready for today and adaptable for tomorrow’s needs.”
Community-Focused, Industry-Driven
Behind the technical achievement is a people-focused philosophy. The firm views infrastructure not only as an investment in industry but as an investment in communities where facilities support jobs, innovation, and long-term growth. “Building Better Communities” remains embedded in Paschen’s work through diverse hiring, sustainability commitments, and partnerships that extend more than 125 years.
In an era where technology drives economies and infrastructure powers innovation, F.H. Paschen positions itself as a long-term partner capable of shaping the facilities that will define our future. The company calls on industries investing in advanced infrastructure to leverage its experience, leadership, and technical execution to build mission-critical facilities that elevate communities and advance modern life.
