Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does construction of data center work?

Data center construction is a highly complex process spanning 12 to 36 months that blends heavy industrial construction with precise IT engineering. It centres on securing massive power supply and high-speed fibre connectivity, laying structural and electrical foundations, and integrating specialised cooling, backup power, and security systems to house tens of thousands of servers for continuous operation.

What are the key stages of data centre construction?

A typical construction of data center project progresses through site selection and planning, design and engineering, civil and structural works, mechanical and electrical installation, IT infrastructure fit-out, testing and commissioning, and final handover. Each stage requires close coordination between civil contractors, M&E specialists, and IT engineers to meet operational and uptime requirements.

What is a data center contractor?

A construction of data center in Malaysia is a specialist firm that manages the construction of facilities designed to house servers, networking equipment, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. Their scope typically covers civil and structural works, steel fabrication, mechanical and electrical installations, and coordination with IT fit-out teams to deliver a fully operational facility.

What structural works are involved in data centre construction?

Structural works in data centre projects include foundation design, reinforced concrete construction, and steel fabrication for raised floors, equipment supports, cable containment systems, and building frames. As an experienced data centre steel contractor in Shah Alam, Angsana Tunas handles structural steel fabrication and installation to the precise tolerances required for mission-critical facilities.

What are the power and cooling requirements for a data centre?

Data centres require redundant power systems including primary grid connections, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and diesel generators to ensure continuous uptime. Cooling systems must manage the significant heat output generated by server racks, typically through precision air conditioning, chilled water systems, or liquid cooling solutions. Both systems are designed with N+1 or higher redundancy to eliminate single points of failure.

What is the difference between a hyperscale and a modular data centre?

A hyperscale data centre is a large-scale facility built to support massive cloud computing and storage operations, typically developed by global operators such as Amazon, Google, or Microsoft. A modular data centre uses prefabricated units that can be deployed faster and scaled incrementally. In Malaysia, both formats are active, with major data centre construction activity concentrated in Johor and Selangor.

Why is Malaysia a preferred location for data centre investment?

Malaysia offers a stable power grid, competitive land costs, a skilled technical workforce, and strong government support for digital infrastructure development. Its strategic position in Southeast Asia, combined with low natural disaster risk and growing connectivity, makes it an attractive destination for regional and global operators engaging a data center contractor in Malaysia for new facility builds.

What certifications should a contractor hold?

A qualified data centre contractor should hold CIDB registration, preferably at G7 grade, along with ISO 9001 quality management certification. Experience with international data centre standards such as TIA-942 or Uptime Institute Tier classifications is also an advantage, particularly for hyperscale and colocation facility projects.
