Fisk Electric Awarded $24M Data Center Contract in Houston
A confirmed electrical contract combines modular containment, power components and liquid-cooling assemblies, with work scheduled from late 2026 into early 2027.
Fisk Electric Company, a subsidiary of Tutor Perini Corporation, has been awarded approximately $24 million of electrical services for a confidential Houston data-center customer. The package places offsite manufacturing at the center of delivery. The October 6 company announcement identifies prefabricated modular containment alongside electrical components, liquid-cooling elements and piping.
The contract is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with substantial completion anticipated in the first quarter of 2027. Its value is expected to enter the contractor’s third-quarter backlog. The customer remains confidential, and the announcement does not identify a campus address or establish the overall development cost.

A factory-to-site delivery package
Fisk will deliver the work using its 75,000-square-foot Houston manufacturing facility. That is the area of the supporting production operation, not the floor area of the confidential data center. It also does not mean a separate $24 million factory is being constructed: the award concerns services and assemblies for the customer’s project.
TCH’s assessment is that the package illustrates how data-center construction is spreading beyond the jobsite. When components are assembled in a controlled production setting, the work still requires coordination with the receiving building. Dimensions, connection points and delivery sequence become decisions that need to be settled before assemblies leave the factory.
Electrical work increasingly meets cooling infrastructure
The inclusion of liquid-cooling components and piping makes this a useful project to follow beyond its dollar value. Power delivery, equipment containment and cooling interfaces meet in the same assembly strategy. That creates a coordination task across disciplines even when an individual contract is described primarily as electrical services.
Offsite production can move work away from congested installation areas, but it does not eliminate field connections, inspection or testing. The relevant delivery question is which activities are completed before shipment and which remain with the onsite team. The announcement does not provide that package-by-package breakdown.
What is confirmed, and what comes next
This is an announced award, making it more actionable than a preliminary site proposal. Fisk Electric is the confirmed electrical contractor. The owner’s identity, general contractor and separate trade appointments have not been established for this confidential customer.
The next milestones worth tracking are the start of assembly, deliveries to the customer’s site and substantial completion. A later customer disclosure could connect the award with a larger campus, but matching it to a known Houston development today would be speculation.
