Houston’s $1.6B Grand Parkway Boom — Are Builders Ready?


Listen Later

TxDOT awarded Faroviol a $1.47 billion design-build contract for Grand Parkway Segment B1 (nearly 15 miles) and the $157 million Katy to Cyprus widening moves into construction this summer, creating roughly $1.6 billion in active Grand Parkway work over the next five years. That means many job sites, crews, and devices that all need real-time connectivity.

Construction was the third most targeted industry for ransomware in 2025: average ransom demands jumped 15× to $2.33 million and incidents now cause about 24 days of downtime -enough to lose preferred bidder status on long projects. CinchOps, a Katy-based managed IT provider for small and mid-sized construction firms, offers affordable connectivity and security solutions; visit Cinchops.com for a free construction IT review and subscribe to the Houston Tech Brief.
