| Skanska builds energy efficient data center in U.S. Nordic building firm Skanska has been awarded the construction management assignment for a new data center project in the western U.S. The customer is one of the largest companies in Internet trading. The contract amount is USD 150 M, about SEK 930 M, which will be included in order bookings for the third quarter. The assignment involves a new, approximately 19,000-square-meter data center. Computing power is critical to the company's operations and the aim is to increase data capacity. Energy efficient solutions that reduce the emission of greenhouse gases were decisive in selecting Skanska for implementing the project. Skanska has developed a total solution that reduces energy costs for operation and cooling of the facility by up to 60 percent compared with traditional technology. Construction is under way and is scheduled for completion in May 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
