$17M Claim Against Aecom Over Google Data Center Design Flaws

An engineering firm has denied liability in a $17 million claim related to alleged design defects at a Google data center. The firm, Aecom, accused Google of passing on 'overvalued' settlements arising from project delays.

The dispute centers around the Google Center, a major data storage facility that was built with Aecom's assistance. While Aecom has denied any wrongdoing, it is unclear what specific design flaws are alleged to have caused the issues.

Aecom's response comes after Google reportedly claimed $17 million in damages related to the project delays and potential losses due to equipment malfunctions.
