Skanska has landed one of its largest fit-out jobs, winning a \u00a3158m contract for a data centre in London\u2019s Docklands.<\/p>\n
The work will form part of an upgrade of global data centre provider Telehouse\u2019s largest facility. The 10-storey Telehouse South, in Blackwall Yard, is one of five data centres the company operates in the Docklands.<\/p>\n
The project will see Skanska\u2019s mechanical, electrical and public health engineering specialists fit out two floors, including the installation of electrical plant and systems, air conditioning and ventilation.<\/p>\n
A new roof gantry for plant will also be installed, together with new lifts.<\/p>\n
Other construction work on the site, to be delivered by Skanska\u2019s building team, includes cladding replacement, reconfiguration of the building\u2019s secure entrances, a new gatehouse and new fencing.<\/p>\n
The award follows Skanska\u2019s delivery of an early works package at Telehouse South as part of a preconstruction services agreement.<\/p>\n
Skanska Building Services managing director Dan Williams said the company\u2019s track record made it well qualified for the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is something we are ideally suited for, as we are experienced in delivering a wide range of data centre fit-outs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Telehouse Europe managing director Takayo Takamuro said Telehouse South had established itself as a critically important connectivity hub for the company and its clients.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ongoing buildout and development of this state-of-the-art data centre underlines the high standards of security, sustainability and operational excellence that Telehouse is able to deliver to its data centre customers today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Early works have already started, with the main contract due to be completed in June 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
