KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 (Bernama) -- Gamuda Bhd’s wholly owned unit Gamuda Engineering Sdn Bhd has bagged two contracts worth a combined value of RM1.74 billion for the development of a hyperscale data centre at Sime Darby Property Bhd's (SDP) Elmina Business Park.
In a statement today, Gamuda said the project consists of two key phases, namely the construction phase, which has a contract value of RM815 million, and the mechanical phase, which is worth RM928.6 million.
For the construction phase, it said Gamuda Engineering will be responsible for the construction, completion, testing, and commissioning of the hyperscale data centre and associated ancillary facilities.
“It is scheduled to begin on May 27, 2024, with a target completion date of Feb 27, 2026,” it said.
For the mechanical phase, Gamuda said the contract covers the fit-out, testing, and commissioning of the data centre’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in Elmina Business Park 1A.
“This phase is expected to commence on July 1, 2025, and be completed by Sept 9, 2026,” it said.
To meet the rising demand for data centre construction, Gamuda plans to ramp up its next-gen digital IBS (industrialised building system) production capacity for data centre materials.
“This strategic move positions Gamuda to capitalise on the significant opportunities,” it added.
