Cardinal Infrastructure Group Inc. announced a $24 million contract to deliver full‑site civil infrastructure services for the first phase of a large, multi‑phase data‑center campus. The project, the company’s first mission‑critical data‑center contract, will begin in the second quarter of 2026 and is expected to reach substantial completion in 2027.
The contract’s scope includes utilities installation, earthwork, drainage, stormwater management, and site paving. While the client and exact location of the campus have not been disclosed, the award signals Cardinal’s entry into a high‑growth, high‑margin market that has become a strategic focus for the company’s expansion into technology infrastructure projects.
Cardinal’s 2025 financial results underscore the significance of this win. Revenue rose 45% year‑over‑year to $456 million, and net income reached $31.1 million. The company’s backlog grew to $682 million, a 33% increase, and its balance sheet remains strong with a Z‑Score of 3.11. The data‑center contract adds a new revenue stream and demonstrates Cardinal’s ability to compete for large‑scale, complex projects beyond its traditional residential and commercial construction focus.
Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Spivey said, "This award reflects Cardinal's ability to execute complex, large‑scale site work on the timeline and standards that major technology customers demand." He added, "As we execute on our growth strategy, expanding into large‑scale technology infrastructure projects like this one represents exactly the kind of end‑market diversification we've been focused on delivering for our shareholders."
The announcement was noted by market participants as a positive development, highlighting Cardinal’s strategic shift toward high‑margin technology infrastructure and reinforcing investor confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.
