AEC industry · Project management
Developer TeraWulf has contracted Fluor to deliver engineering, procurement, and construction for three buildings at a data center site in Hawesville, Kentucky. Initial site activities are already in progress, with facility handovers targeted between late 2027 and mid-2028.
According to announcements from TeraWulf and Fluor, the contractor will oversee full EPC delivery alongside commissioning for the Justified Data Campus in Hawesville. The engagement follows initial planning and preconstruction authorization granted in March. While state regulators cleared an electric-service arrangement for the $4 billion project in August, the exact contract figure remains undisclosed until pricing on the initial two structures is finalized in the fourth quarter.
