U.S. construction spending is splitting by sector. In the 12 months through August 2026, data center construction spending rose more than 73% while manufacturing construction fell about 20%, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Both kinds of project depend on moving and setting heavy equipment, from transformers and cooling systems to fab tools and production lines.<\/p>\n\n
