Shumate Engineering has started work on 16 hyperscale data centers in the U.S. spread across Texas, Missouri and Arizona that will total about 5.7 gigawatts of processing power.
Shumate Engineering handles the physical infrastructure of data centers specifically mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) infrastructure for data centers including power distribution, cooling plants, HVAC, piping and water and equipment installation and integration.
Shumate Engineering said the facilities are set to be completed by the middle of 2026.
In 2025, Shumate Engineering was granted a patent for its hybrid dry/adiabatic-cooling design — a closed-loop system that uses two taps with different temperatures for data center operators to cut power consumption by 50% and water use by 93% compared to conventional cooling, the company said.
Some of the previous construction projects for data centers by Shumate include:
- H5 Ashburn Data Center in Ashburn, Virginia
- HDAC cooling tested at the Baltimore, Maryland Aircoil facility
- Conversion of office campus at a data center in Quantum Park, Virginia
The exact locations of the new 16 data centers were not disclosed.
