Data Center Land Clearing & Site Preparation

Texas leads the nation in data center development due to: abundant and affordable power (especially renewable energy in West Texas), no state income tax, business-friendly regulations, central geographic location reducing latency nationwide, available land, and strong infrastructure. The ERCOT grid provides power flexibility, and major metros like DFW are already established data center hubs.

Data center site prep is exceptionally demanding: sites must support 200+ pounds per square foot building loads, require redundant utility corridors (dual power feeds, multiple fiber routes), need precise grading for complex drainage and cooling systems, often require security perimeter preparation, and must meet accelerated construction schedules. The mission-critical nature of these facilities demands zero-defect execution.

Hyperscale data center campuses typically range from 50 to 500+ acres to accommodate multiple building phases, utility infrastructure, cooling systems, parking, and security setbacks. A single hyperscale building might be 200,000-500,000+ square feet. Campus-style development allows phased construction as capacity needs grow.

Timeline depends on project scale: a 50-acre site typically requires 6-10 weeks for vegetation clearing and rough grading. Fast-track projects can be accelerated with multiple crews. Phased campuses may have ongoing clearing over years. We coordinate with your construction schedule to meet critical milestones.

Yes, utility corridor preparation is essential for data centers. We clear and grade paths for: high-voltage power feeds (often multiple redundant lines), fiber optic routes, water supply and sewer lines, natural gas lines, and any other infrastructure. We coordinate with utility providers on their specific requirements.

We serve data center projects statewide with focus on: Dallas-Fort Worth (one of America's largest data center markets), West Texas (emerging AI/hyperscale corridor including Abilene, Sweetwater, Big Spring), Austin metro, San Antonio, and Houston. Our equipment and crews can mobilize to any Texas location.

Absolutely. Texas is seeing massive AI data center investment, including projects like Stargate. AI/ML facilities have unique requirements: larger power allocations, enhanced cooling infrastructure, and often accelerated timelines. We have the equipment capacity and experience to support these high-priority projects.

We work within all environmental regulations including: wetland avoidance/mitigation, endangered species considerations, stormwater management (SWPPP), erosion control, and tree preservation where required. We coordinate with environmental consultants and ensure proper permitting before clearing begins.
