THE REGION’S FASTEST-GROWING DATA-CENTER HUB

Why the Southeast Is Powering the Next Generation of Data Centers

The Southeast has become one of the most active data-center construction markets in the United States—quickly rivaling and, in some cases, surpassing long-standing hubs. Cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Savannah are attracting major hyperscale, colocation, and edge facilities thanks to their strategic location, competitive energy costs, and favorable development climate.

Strong demand is fueled by state-level tax incentives, reliable access to power and water, and an abundance of shovel-ready industrial sites near Tier 1 fiber routes. For data-center owners and operators, this means faster permitting, lower total cost of ownership, and strong long-term growth potential.

As this market expands, projects are becoming more complex—high rack densities, advanced cooling requirements, and accelerated build schedules demand mechanical contractors who understand both the engineering challenges and the mission-critical nature of data-center operations.

Key Drivers of the Boom:

  • State incentives and utility rebates for large-scale data facilities
  • Expanding renewable and traditional power infrastructure
  • Strategic proximity to major fiber backbones
  • Growing demand from hyperscale, colocation, and edge computing providers

PRECISION PIPING FOR MISSION-CRITICAL RELIABILITY

Process Piping & Hydronics for Data-Center Efficiency and Uptime

In a data center, your piping systems are the lifeblood of your cooling and mechanical infrastructure. A single leak, misalignment, or substandard weld can put uptime and equipment safety at risk. That’s why Midsouth Mechanical brings decades of piping expertise to every project—installing systems that perform flawlessly under constant load.

We design, fabricate, and install stainless steel, carbon steel, HDPE, and copper piping for chilled-water loops, glycol systems, RO/DI water distribution, and condensate management. Every weld is executed by certified pipefitters and rigorously inspected to meet or exceed project specifications.

Our Process Piping & Hydronic Services Include:

  • Chilled-Water & Glycol Loops – Designed for redundancy, low pressure drop, and maximum efficiency.
  • High-Pressure Piping – Installed to tight tolerances and hydrotested to confirm leak-free performance.
  • Material Expertise – Stainless, carbon, HDPE, and copper systems matched to application and environment.
  • Prefabricated Spools & Assemblies – Reducing on-site labor time and eliminating fit-up delays.
