Alliant Insurance Services Formalizes Hyperscale Infrastructure and Data Center Risk Advisory, Combining Integrated Specialty Risk and Power Expertise with Historical Project Data

During Construction Appreciation Week, Alliant highlights its enterprise risk framework for assessing exposures across the hyperscale infrastructure and data center lifecycle, informed by extensive historical project and loss data

IRVINE, CA — In recognition of Construction Appreciation Week, Alliant Insurance Services has formalized its integrated risk advisory offering to help developers, owners, investors, contractors and other stakeholders navigate the interconnected risks associated with hyperscale infrastructure and data center development.

Drawing on proprietary historical data and experience across hundreds of digital infrastructure projects approaching one trillion dollars in project value, Alliant helps clients quantify risk and financial exposure across the full lifecycle, from pre-construction and construction through operations and maintenance.

“Hyperscale project construction brings together significant capital investments, compressed schedules, complex supply chains and the installation of advanced systems that must operate reliably at all times, creating risks that can affect project cost and delivery,” said Michael Cusack, President, Alliant P&C. “Our historical project intelligence enables us to identify and prioritize those exposures before they affect project performance, giving clients greater clarity around where to focus resources for optimal outcomes.”

Alliant’s construction risk management capabilities are strengthened by extensive experience across the power, utility and energy infrastructure sectors. The firm has brokered some of the nation’s largest cogeneration power and energy infrastructure projects, including the surety and construction insurance programs for the largest combined-cycle natural gas-powered facility currently under construction in the U.S.

This integrated expertise enables Alliant to deliver a customized, data-driven assessment of interconnected risk, including how site design, power grid dependencies and supply chain concentrations may interact to affect availability, construction schedules and financial performance. Rather than treating insurance as the starting point, Alliant’s approach helps clients evaluate where capital is best deployed by determining which risks should be mitigated, retained, contractually transferred or insured.

“Our symbiotic offering brings together data and analytics from some of the nation’s largest hyperscale, data center and energy infrastructure projects, delivering a depth of experience that is difficult to replicate,” added Cusack. “We combine multidisciplinary brokerage capabilities to help clients identify interrelated risks, structure risk transfer options aligned with contractual obligations and make informed decisions throughout all phases of development.”

Alliant’s hyperscale infrastructure and data center risk advisory brings together specialized expertise across construction, power and energy infrastructure, environmental risk, cyber, real estate, surety, trade credit, cargo, stock throughput and marine insurance, among contract review and other disciplines. This coordinated approach helps clients understand their total risk profile, proactively address exposures and strengthen the long-term performance and financial resilience of their assets.
