Fisk Electric Lands $24M Modular Contract for Houston Data Center

Fisk Electric, a subsidiary of Tutor Perini, has won a $24 million modular contract for a data center in Houston.

The award signals a priority shift toward the data center sector, a market the heavy civil contractor has emphasized repeatedly on its earnings calls this year. Tutor Perini has positioned data centers as a growth target amid booming demand for the facilities, and the Fisk Electric win extends that strategy into the electrical and modular construction scope of the sector.

What does the contract cover?

The contract covers modular work on the Houston data center project. Fisk Electric, as the Tutor Perini subsidiary carrying the award, takes responsibility for delivering that modular scope under the $24 million deal.

Tutor Perini has used its earnings calls throughout the year to stress the data center market as a priority. The Fisk Electric award in Houston gives that stated priority a concrete, dollar-attached proof point:

• $24 million — the value of the modular contract
• Houston — the location of the data center project
• Fisk Electric — the Tutor Perini subsidiary that won the work

Why does a civil contractor care about data centers?

Tutor Perini built its business as a heavy civil contractor. The company's earnings-call messaging this year reflects a deliberate pivot toward data center work, chasing the surge in construction demand the sector has produced.

Subsidiary-level wins like the Fisk Electric contract in Houston show how that corporate priority converts into booked revenue. The modular scope also aligns with how data center clients increasingly deliver capacity — through prefabricated, repeatable building blocks rather than fully bespoke construction.

What comes next?

Expect Tutor Perini to keep steering its subsidiaries toward data center work as long as sector demand stays hot. The Houston award suggests more subsidiary-level contract announcements in the sector could follow, as the contractor translates its earnings-call emphasis into its project backlog.
