At PEC, we carry the electrical, controls, fiber and communications, structural steel, and interior scopes under one PEC project manager. That single-source approach trims handoffs, shortens schedules, and removes the finger pointing that slows multi-vendor data center construction.
PEC has carried this approach on data center builds for hyperscale operators, colo developers, and enterprise data center clients across the Southeast. Our 70,000 square foot shop in Covington, GA mobilizes crews fast for active projects, and the 150-plus PEC team, AWS-certified welders, and OSHA 30-hour safety record give the bid team confidence that the schedule and the safety plan will both hold.
Project scopes range from single-trade subcontract packages to full multi-division turnkey scopes carrying the electrical, controls, fiber, steel, and interiors work on the same job.
Most data center subcontractors handle one or two scopes well, then sub out the rest. PEC manages everything across multiple trades from the same Covington shop, which means a single PEC project manager owns the bid, the schedule, the safety plan, the trade interfaces, and the punch list.
For a GC PM, that means one phone number for change requests, one sequencing conversation for crew loading, and one accountable party at the close-out walk. For a mission-critical PM, it means trade interfaces (steel-to-electrical, electrical-to-controls, controls-to-commissioning) handled internally rather than across vendor boundaries. For a data center owner or developer, it means fewer subcontractor packages to evaluate at bid and fewer schedules to align in the field.
Mobilization is built around the construction schedule, not around our calendar. PEC crews can deploy quickly for active projects, and the shop runs multi-shift schedules during construction peaks when the timeline cannot slip. Safety planning is built into the work from kickoff, anchored by the OSHA 30-hour certification PEC carries across every crew on every shift.
Single-source data center construction services means one team, one schedule, one accountable contact from kickoff through commissioning.
PEC’s data center electrical contractor work covers the full electrical scope on hyperscale and colo builds, from temporary power for the construction phase through final medium-voltage transformer terminations.
Typical scope:
Master electricians and licensed electrical engineers on staff cover both the field execution and the bid-stage scoping conversations.
Modern data centers run on layered controls: a building management system tying the mechanical equipment together, an electrical power monitoring system for switchgear and distribution, and a SCADA layer for facility-wide visibility. PEC’s data center controls team handles the rough-in, integration, programming, and commissioning across all three.
Typical scope:
The same team carries the controls scope from rough-in through Level 4 functional testing, so commissioning does not stall on a vendor handoff.
PEC’s data center fiber install practice handles the fiber and copper communications scope from outside plant duct banks through Meet Me Room connectivity inside the building.
Typical scope:
Our crews are familiar with the documentation and labeling standards typical on hyperscale builds, which trims back-and-forth at QC walks.
Data center builds rely on structural steel for everything from rooftop equipment platforms to interior mezzanines for cable trays and CRAH units. PEC’s structural steel division covers shop fabrication and field erection on the same scope.
Typical scope:
All structural steel fabrication runs through PEC’s Covington shop with AWS D1.1 weld procedures, so the documentation and quality story is consistent from beam to bolt.
Data center interiors carry specific requirements that general commercial interiors do not: continuous fire-rated assemblies, acoustic separation for adjacent equipment rooms, and tight sequencing around active electrical and controls work.
PEC’s interiors division handles the data center interiors scope:
Our crews work to active QA inspections and the layered closeout documentation that mission-critical projects expect. The same project manager who owns the steel and electrical scopes keeps the interiors package on the same schedule.
Whether you are a GC scoping a multi-trade subcontract package, a data center owner or developer planning a new build or expansion, or a mission-critical PM looking for a single accountable contractor across electrical, controls, fiber, steel, and interiors, the next step is the same: a conversation with our team about what you actually need.
Send drawings, specs, and a target schedule if you have them. If you do not yet, that is fine. We can work through the scope together and bring the right PEC division leads into the conversation as needed.
