The mechanical scope for AI data centers can be a 1.5x to 2x multiplier on mechanical systems compared to a traditional cloud data center, while the electrical scope doesn't increase as much.
“But the scope doesn't increase as much going from a 100-megawatt cloud storage data center to a 200-megawatt cloud. AI data center on the electrical side, but on the mechanical side, it can be a 1.5 to 2 times multiplier on the mechanical…”
EMCOR's mechanical construction margins are structurally lower in new data center markets as it takes ~18 months to ramp and gain productivity to match the margins of its traditional electrical data center business.
“And it takes about 18 months to ramp them up to get to full production where they can hit the kind of margins our traditional data center company did mechanically.”
Unlike some peers, EMCOR's RPOs only represent funded phases of contracts, not verbal or multi-year framework agreements, which makes its $13.25B RPO number more conservative and understates its true visibility.
“So if we're working on a data center campus where there's multiple buildings and we have even a verbal for the phase two, we're only showing that first phase in our RPOs. So others may be doing it differently, which could skew percentages.”
The mechanical scope for AI data centers can be a 1.5x to 2x multiplier on mechanical systems compared to a traditional cloud data center, while the electrical scope doesn't increase as much. — This indicates that mechanical construction companies and suppliers of mechanical components (like cooling systems) could see outsized growth relative to electrical suppliers as AI data center builds accelerate.

Yeah, thanks. Good morning, everybody. Appreciate you taking the question. So your data center work has been growing a bit faster on the mechanical side than on the electrical side for a few quarters now. Can you talk about what are the drivers behind that? And do you expect that to sustain itself in the next or this year? Thanks.

It could. It could because we first with the basis right in comparison to the segment. And so we've opened up a couple of new markets on the data center side. And also I think one of the growth areas in that is it's a little different scope. We're benefiting more from the AI data center, even though we're building the AI data centers electrically. But the scope doesn't increase as much going from a 100-megawatt cloud storage data center to a 200-megawatt cloud. AI data center on the electrical side, but on the mechanical side, it can be a 1.5 to 2 times multiplier on the mechanical systems that will go in. And what's interesting about that, in either case, does that usually include the major end equipment?
