Civil Support for Ohioâ€™s Data Center Corridors

Central Ohio has attracted major data center investment because of its location, land availability, power access, fiber connectivity, and proximity to large population centers. Local reporting identifies the Columbus area as one of the stateâ€™s primary data center clusters, with substantial additional development under consideration.

The Columbus and Licking County corridor is especially relevant for data center developers and contractors. CBRE also identifies Columbus as a market where fiber and interconnection capabilities continue to expand to support hyperscale demand.

Kitching & Co is positioned to support projects in:

Columbus and Central Ohio
New Albany and Licking County
Johnstown, Hebron, and nearby industrial corridors
Lancaster and surrounding markets
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and other Ohio locations
BESS, renewable-energy, and electrical infrastructure corridors statewide

Ohio data center projects may also require significant upgrades to transmission lines, substations, and supporting infrastructure. The Ohio Consumersâ€™ Counsel notes that data center development can involve major investments in electric infrastructure before facilities become operational.

Kitching & Co focuses on the excavation, grading, underground utility, duct bank, and subgrade work that supports those larger infrastructure packages.

One Partner for Excavation, Utilities, and Subgrade

Data center sitework depends on sequencing. Clearing, mass excavation, grading, utility corridors, duct banks, roads, and subgrade preparation must work together to support the next phase of construction.

Kitching & Co connects these horizontal-construction scopes under one contract when the project requirements are a fit.
