Building the infrastructure behind AI: why the engineering & construction sector is entering a new supercycle
The race for AI dominance is no longer decided by computing power, but by physical infrastructure – the substations, transmission lines, gas pipelines, and cooling systems that fuel large servers and data centers.

Maheep Mandloi, Mizuho’s Senior Clean Energy Equity Research Analyst, explains that it’s the foundation of a multi-decade growth cycle as technology and industrial development converge.
