Fisk Electric Secures $43.4 Million Contract for Electrical Systems at Port of Miami’s Cruise Terminal G Complex
Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil, building, and specialty construction company in the United States, announced that its subsidiary, Fisk Electric Company, has been awarded a major electrical services contract for the Cruise Terminal G Complex at the Port of Miami. The contract, valued at approximately $43.4 million, represents a significant addition to Fisk Electric’s expanding portfolio of high-profile infrastructure and transportation projects across the country.
The project, awarded by the Port of Miami, underscores the region’s continued investment in port infrastructure and modernization to accommodate the growing demand for cruise tourism. As one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, the Port of Miami—often referred to as the “Cruise Capital of the World”—is a critical gateway for both international and domestic travelers. The new Cruise Terminal G Complex is being developed to enhance passenger experience, streamline logistics, and integrate sustainable technologies that align with Miami-Dade County’s broader environmental goals.
Fisk Electric’s scope of work under this contract is both extensive and technologically advanced. The company will be responsible for the design, installation, and commissioning of a comprehensive electrical distribution system serving the new terminal and adjacent facilities. This includes the construction of a new electrical vault that will house critical power distribution equipment such as switchboards, switchgear, and control panels to ensure efficient and uninterrupted electrical service to Terminal G.
The electrical infrastructure will support both primary and emergency power systems, providing redundancy and reliability to safeguard critical operations at the terminal. Fisk Electric will install a network of conduits and wiring to manage the complex’s electrical load, ensuring compliance with rigorous maritime and port safety standards. The installation of automatic transfer switches (ATS) and advanced switchgear will enable seamless power transitions between primary and backup systems, minimizing the risk of downtime in the event of power interruptions.
Integrating Sustainable Power Solutions
In alignment with Miami-Dade County’s long-term sustainability objectives, the project incorporates forward-thinking features that support the region’s transition toward cleaner energy use. Notably, the Terminal G parking structure will be equipped with 50 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations upon completion, allowing passengers and employees to conveniently charge electric cars while at the port.
More importantly, the electrical design includes infrastructure that can accommodate up to 430 additional charging points in the future, providing scalability as EV adoption continues to grow. This forward-compatible design demonstrates the Port of Miami’s commitment to environmental responsibility and reflects Fisk Electric’s expertise in delivering sustainable energy solutions for large-scale infrastructure developments.
Beyond EV readiness, the project will also improve the terminal’s energy efficiency through the installation of advanced LED lighting systems throughout the terminal and parking garage. These systems will enhance visibility and safety while significantly reducing energy consumption. Fisk Electric’s lighting design integrates intelligent controls that allow for automated dimming, scheduling, and energy monitoring, ensuring optimized performance and minimal waste.
Upgrading Backup Power and Critical Systems
As part of its extensive scope, Fisk Electric will also oversee the replacement of the existing 2000-kilowatt generator within the Port’s Central Utility Plant. This upgrade is critical to maintaining reliable power supply during emergencies and ensuring uninterrupted operations for the cruise terminal complex.
In addition to replacing the current generator, the company will procure and install three new generators complete with emergency paralleling switchgear. These units will be strategically configured to provide redundant and reliable backup power for life safety systems, critical communication equipment, and essential building operations. This enhanced emergency power infrastructure will not only bolster operational resilience but also comply with stringent safety and performance requirements for port facilities.
The new system will deliver power to essential areas of both Terminal G and the adjacent Terminal F, including supplying electricity to existing chillers and fire pump systems. The coordinated integration of these systems reflects Fisk Electric’s deep expertise in handling complex, multi-phase electrical projects that must balance functionality, reliability, and safety.
Strengthening Miami’s Cruise Infrastructure
The Cruise Terminal G Complex is part of a larger modernization effort at the Port of Miami aimed at reinforcing its position as a global leader in cruise operations. With major cruise lines continuously expanding their fleets and deploying larger vessels, port infrastructure must evolve to meet the operational demands of next-generation cruise ships.
This latest project continues a trend of substantial capital investments at the Port of Miami, following the development of other state-of-the-art cruise terminals over the past decade. Terminal G’s expansion and modernization will enable the port to handle higher passenger volumes, improve boarding efficiency, and enhance the overall traveler experience through improved amenities and cutting-edge building systems.
For Fisk Electric, this contract represents another significant milestone in its longstanding history of delivering high-quality electrical solutions for complex infrastructure and transportation projects. With a legacy that spans over a century, Fisk has built a reputation for technical excellence and innovation across the commercial, industrial, and public sectors. The company’s portfolio includes numerous large-scale airport, rail, and marine projects throughout the United States, all characterized by a commitment to safety, precision, and long-term reliability.
Project Schedule and Outlook
According to Tutor Perini Corporation, work on the Cruise Terminal G electrical systems has already commenced. The project is expected to achieve substantial completion by November 2027. The $43.4 million contract value was officially added to Tutor Perini’s backlog during the third quarter of 2025, reflecting continued growth in the company’s robust project pipeline.
The Port of Miami project joins a series of high-value contracts awarded to Tutor Perini subsidiaries in recent years, further solidifying the corporation’s position as a leading provider of large, technically complex construction projects across the U.S. The company continues to focus on sectors with strong long-term growth potential, including transportation, water infrastructure, renewable energy, and large-scale public works.
Tutor Perini’s CEO and leadership team have consistently emphasized the company’s commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and collaboration with public agencies and private partners. The award of the Cruise Terminal G contract reflects confidence in Fisk Electric’s ability to execute sophisticated electrical work on time, within budget, and to the highest technical standards.
Commitment to Quality and Safety
As with all Tutor Perini projects, safety and quality assurance will remain top priorities throughout the Cruise Terminal G construction period. Fisk Electric employs a rigorous safety management program, combining comprehensive worker training, detailed risk assessments, and continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local safety regulations.
The company also integrates quality control measures at every project phase—from design and procurement through installation and commissioning—to ensure that all systems perform reliably and efficiently over the long term.
