The specialty contractor division of Tutor Perini expands its footprint in the technology infrastructure sector with a new modular electrical project.

Fisk Electric Company has been awarded a $24 million electrical construction contract for a modular data center facility in Houston, Texas. The project will be executed by the specialty electrical contractor, a subsidiary of civil and commercial building firm Tutor Perini Corporation.

Under the terms of the agreement, Fisk Electric will handle the procurement, assembly, and integration of complex electrical distribution systems, power controls, and backup generation infrastructure. The modular design approach aims to expedite the construction timeline to meet increasing regional demand for digital infrastructure.

The agreement reflects a broader strategic focus by parent firm Tutor Perini to capture market share within the rapidly expanding data center sector. Executive leadership has signaled a continued pivot of corporate resources toward specialty electrical and mechanical projects that support cloud computing and artificial intelligence workloads.

Work on the Houston facility is scheduled to commence immediately, adding to Tutor Perini’s expanding backlog of technology-related awards. Specialty contracting operations have increasingly contributed to the parent company's overall revenue mix amid sustained national demand for data center capacity.

Headquartered in Houston, Fisk Electric operates as a nationwide specialty contractor providing comprehensive electrical design, fabrication, and maintenance services. The company plans to leverage off-site prefabrication methods for the project to enhance installation efficiency and site safety.
