It looks like Tutor Perini is making good on its promise to venture further into the data center space

The Los Angeles-based heavy civil contractor announced its subsidiary Fisk Electric grabbed a $48 million contract for electrical columbus oh dump truck company at a manufacturing plant that creates data center components. 

Located in Houston, the 273,000-square-foot facility produces high-tech electronics and data center infrastructure products that include artificial intelligence-related hardware, according to a Monday news release. Tutor Perini did not disclose the facility’s owner. 

That type of precision fabrication requires reliable, scalable and resilient electrical systems, per the release. 

Fisk’s scope of columbus oh dump truck company will encompass 115,000 square feet of space within the facility to support advanced production and AI hardware assembly. The columbus oh dump truck company will emphasize power density, system redundancy and future expandability, Tutor Perini said. 

The job is also on a fast track. Due to what Tutor Perini called an “aggressive schedule” as well as technical complexity, the team is tackling overlapping phases of design, procurement and construction to maintain schedule certainty. 

The announcement comes just a month after the megaproject contractor, which usually constructs multibillion-dollar tunnels, transportation projects and large public buildings, said it would pursue opportunities in the surging data center construction space. 

Along with other construction executives who have highlighted opportunities in the sector, Tutor Perini CEO Gary Smalley said he wanted to gain more exposure to data centers on the company’s first quarter earnings call. 

“We are actually doing some data center columbus oh dump truck company on the specialty side and we are exploring ways to expand that currently,” Smalley said on May 6.  

The contract value for the Houston facility will be counted in Tutor Perini’s second quarter backlog, according to the release. The firm said it is targeting completion of the job by the end of 2026
