CIMIC Group company Leighton Asia has been awarded the first phase of the design and construction of a high-density, liquid cooling-ready data centre in Cyberjaya, Malaysia.
The 64 MW data centre is for a multinational technology corporation which is a current client.
It will be liquid cooling-ready, an approach that delivers energy savings, supporting scalable and sustainable growth for the sector.
CIMIC Group executive chair, Juan Santamaría said by leveraging the company’s global critical digital infrastructure capabilities Leighton Asia will deliver this data centre with the latest liquid cooling technology and cutting-edge solutions that can handle higher heat loads.
“Liquid cooling systems consume less energy, helping operators reduce energy costs and improve energy efficiency,” he said.
Leighton Asia managing director Brad Davey said the company is excited to embark on this new project, which underscores their core expertise in providing innovative and reliable digital infrastructure.
The data centre is the first of four in a 256 MW, 35-acre campus of the client. The facility will feature near-zero Water Utilization Efficiency (a measure of how efficiently a data centre uses water) by using the latest cooling design.
