Mission-critical electrical for hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centers across Texas. From utility service through commissioning — built to keep the digital infrastructure running.
Data center electrical work is unforgiving. Power density per rack keeps climbing — from sub-10kW racks in legacy enterprise rooms to 50kW+ liquid-cooled AI racks in current hyperscale builds. Concurrent maintainability requires N+1 or 2N topology across every meaningful component. The commissioning bar isn’t “does it work” — it’s a Level 5 IST proving that the entire site can ride through a worst-case failure scenario without dropping load.
We deliver design-build and design-assist electrical scope for data centers from utility service entrance through Level 5 commissioning. Our work supports hyperscale operators, colocation providers, and enterprise mission-critical facilities. Texas is the fastest-growing data center market in the country — we work it.
15kV, 25kV, or 35kV class utility service entrances sized for full facility design load with growth headroom. Pad-mount or substation-grade switchgear, primary metering, utility coordination with ERCOT-area transmission and distribution providers including Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP, and LCRA.
Indoor and outdoor metal-clad switchgear per ANSI C37.20.2, vacuum circuit breakers, and SCADA-integrated relay protection (SEL, Schweitzer). Main-tie-main and ring-bus configurations for concurrent maintainability. Generator paralleling switchgear sized for N+1 or 2N standby.
Diesel and gas standby generator installations from 2MW through 3MW per unit, paralleled into multi-unit plants up to 30MW+ aggregate. Fuel system, day tank, and bulk storage interfaces. NFPA 110 Level 1 emergency systems, with paralleling controls and load-bank testing infrastructure.
Static UPS installations (Eaton, Vertiv, ABB) in N, N+1, and 2N configurations. Battery rooms (VRLA, lithium-ion) with appropriate ventilation, fire suppression, and BMS monitoring. STS (static transfer switch) integration. Critical bus distribution down to PDUs and remote power panels.
PDU installations, RPP and remote power panel buildouts. Busway distribution overhead, branch circuit monitoring, and intelligent rack PDU support. Power density planning from 10kW to 50kW+ per rack for AI/HPC deployments. Hot-aisle and cold-aisle infrastructure power.
Factory witness testing, on-site Level 1–4 commissioning, and Level 5 Integrated Systems Testing (IST). Pull-the-plug scenarios, load-bank stress tests, failure-mode validation, and full as-built documentation. Coordination with the CxA, MEP engineer, and owner’s operations team.
We deliver electrical scope across the Uptime Institute and TIA-942 tier classifications. Enterprise builds typically land at Tier II or Tier III. Colocation providers usually specify Tier III concurrent maintainable. Hyperscale operators run their own internal redundancy specifications that exceed Tier IV on some axes and trade off on others — we build to the operator’s design intent regardless of where it lands on the Uptime matrix.
Texas is the #2 US data center market by capacity and #1 by growth rate. The Dallas-Fort Worth metro is the established hub with 1+ GW under operation and another 1+ GW announced. San Antonio and Austin have become hyperscale targets driven by Microsoft, Meta, and Google site selections. The Permian Basin has emerged as an AI-buildout corridor due to power availability and cooling water access. Houston supports enterprise and edge facilities tied to the energy industry.
We have project capability across all four primary Texas markets plus the Permian corridor. Our preconstruction team engages early enough to coordinate with utility planning timelines, which on hyperscale projects can drive the critical path.
Both. On hyperscale builds we typically subcontract under the EPC or GC selected by the operator. On enterprise and colocation projects we engage directly with the owner or owner’s representative during preconstruction. Either way, our team participates in design-assist workshops, value engineering, and constructability review before final pricing.
Liquid cooling shifts power density per rack from the 10–15kW air-cooled range to the 50–100kW+ range. Electrical scope adapts: heavier busway, higher-amperage RPPs, more aggressive monitoring at the rack PDU level, and tighter coordination with the CDU power plant. We build to current AI rack specifications including NVIDIA reference designs.
We engage with the utility transmission planning group as early as preconstruction. We can’t shorten utility queue times — nobody can — but we can avoid the schedule slip that comes from late utility engagement. On fast-track projects we typically have utility coordination running in parallel with permit and design development.
MV switchgear installation, MV cable terminations, and substation work require specialized training and equipment. We work with qualified specialty partners on this scope where it makes sense, and our team coordinates the full electrical package end-to-end. The buyer sees a single accountable contractor.
Highly variable. A 30MW enterprise data center on a clean site can hit energization in 14–18 months from NTP. A 150MW hyperscale build with utility-side substation work typically runs 24–36 months from NTP. The critical path is usually utility delivery or long-lead switchgear, not electrical field labor.
Send your site plan, load profile, and target energization. We’ll come back with preconstruction engagement and a schedule built on real utility lead times.
