Fisk Electric secures 24 million dollar modular Houston data center contract

Fisk Electric has secured a 24 million dollar modular construction contract for a data center in Houston, Texas, Construction Dive reported. Fisk Electric is a subsidiary of Tutor Perini, a heavy civil contractor based in Los Angeles. [1]

Construction Dive reported that the contract win reflects a strategic priority shift by Tutor Perini toward the booming data center market, an emphasis the contractor highlighted on recent earnings calls. The parent company historically focused on large civil infrastructure developments, such as the Gateway tunnel project connecting New York and New Jersey, alongside California's high-speed rail line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Tutor Perini was formed in 2008 through the merger of Perini Corporation and Tutor-Saliba Corporation, and is headquartered in Sylmar, California. The company operates across North America as well as international locations such as Guam and the Indo-Pacific region, reporting approximately 5.54 billion dollars in annual revenue for 2025. [2]

The contract highlights growing commercial specialty contracting activity in Houston, where the economy continues to diversify beyond petroleum refining, natural gas extraction, and petrochemical production. [1][4]
