Data centers

Data center construction in Saudi Arabia

Structural steel, light-gauge steel, sandwich panels, insulation, cement board and gypsum board — the frame and envelope of a mission-critical building, delivered by one contractor under one HSE regime.

Data centers

Six scopes. One contractor.

  • 01

    Structural steel

    Erection of the primary steel frame — columns, beams and roof steel for data halls and support areas — with fabrication available from our own factory in Al-Sulay, Riyadh.

  • 02

    Light-gauge steel (LGS)

    Cold-formed steel framing for external walls and internal partitions — the set-out every panel, board and fixing after it depends on.

  • 03

    Sandwich panels

    Insulated sandwich panels that close the building envelope and help hold the stable internal environment a data hall needs.

  • 04

    Insulation

    Insulation installed continuously within the envelope build-ups, to the specified thickness and without gaps.

  • 05

    Cement board

    Cement board sheathing on light-gauge walls: a durable, moisture-resistant substrate for the external finish.

  • 06

    Gypsum board

    Gypsum board partitions and linings for data halls, electrical rooms and offices, to the specified fire and finish requirements.

Built for mission-critical programmes

  • 01

    One sequence, not six subcontracts

    Steel, framing, envelope and boards follow each other inside one programme. No interface disputes between trades, and no hall standing idle waiting on a different contractor.

  • 02

    Our own steel

    Structural steel can come from our own factory in Al-Sulay, Riyadh, so the frame runs on our schedule rather than a supplier’s.

  • 03

    Safety before height

    Daily toolbox talks, site inductions for every crew, and work at height from boom lifts and scaffold. Mission-critical sites do not tolerate incidents, and neither do we.

  • 04

    Certified systems

    ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management.
