About
Founded in 1928 and backed by nearly a century of large-scale electrical construction experience, Mass. Electric Construction Co. (MEC) brings heavy industrial and power delivery expertise to commercial and institutional facilities throughout Atlanta and across North America. As a Kiewit company and IBEW-signatory contractor, MEC operates at the intersection of engineering and construction — providing integrated design-build electrical solutions suited to the most demanding facility environments. For Atlanta-area facility managers and property owners overseeing complex assets, MEC's core competencies span power distribution infrastructure, switchgear installation, high-capacity panelboard and breaker systems, standby and emergency backup generators, and low-voltage/data systems. Their industrial electrical division handles facilities of all scales, from heavy manufacturing and water treatment plants to warehouses and institutional campuses. MEC's power delivery practice adds a layer of capability rarely found in regional contractors — encompassing transmission, substation construction, underground distribution, and power system engineering. This makes MEC particularly well-suited for large institutional campuses, government facilities, healthcare complexes, and industrial properties that require engineered power solutions, coordinated shutdowns, and strict code compliance under the NEC. With a demonstrated history executing mission-critical electrical work — including data centers, hospital power systems, and emergency power infrastructure — MEC understands the operational stakes for facility managers who cannot afford unplanned downtime. Their nationwide footprint supports multi-site clients managing geographically distributed portfolios. Facility managers and general contractors in Atlanta evaluating MEC should note the firm's strength in complex, phased projects requiring close coordination between engineering, construction, and ownership teams. MEC is best positioned for capital improvement projects, large tenant improvements, and infrastructure upgrades where electrical engineering integration is a priority.
