Leighton Asia Secures Major Data Centre Fit-Out Contract for NTT Global Data Centers in Thailand
Leighton Asia has been awarded a significant contract by NTT Global Data Centers to deliver fit-out works for a major data centre facility at the company’s Bangkok campus in Thailand. The project marks another milestone in Leighton Asia’s growing portfolio of digital infrastructure developments across the Asia-Pacific region and reinforces the company’s reputation as a trusted partner for the construction of mission-critical facilities.
The contract reflects the continued expansion of Thailand’s digital economy and highlights the increasing investment in advanced data centre infrastructure needed to support cloud computing, artificial intelligence, enterprise digital transformation, and rapidly growing data consumption. As businesses and governments accelerate digitalization, the demand for reliable, high-performance data centres has become a strategic priority across Southeast Asia.
Under the scope of the project, Leighton Asia will undertake comprehensive fit-out works for the Bangkok data centre campus, including the installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. The company will also deliver works across the facility’s data halls, supporting infrastructure, and associated mission-critical systems designed to ensure uninterrupted operations and maximum efficiency.
Modern data centres require sophisticated engineering solutions capable of maintaining continuous uptime while supporting high-density computing environments. Mechanical and electrical systems play a crucial role in ensuring power reliability, cooling performance, environmental control, and operational resilience. Leighton Asia’s expertise in delivering integrated construction and engineering services positions the company to meet the stringent technical and operational requirements expected of hyperscale and enterprise data centre facilities.
The project forms part of NTT Global Data Centers’ continued investment in Thailand’s digital infrastructure. As organizations increasingly migrate workloads to cloud-based platforms and digital services become more integral to business operations, operators such as NTT continue expanding their regional data centre footprint to provide secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure for customers throughout Southeast Asia.
Thailand has emerged as one of the region’s promising markets for data centre investment, supported by growing internet penetration, increasing enterprise cloud adoption, expanding digital services, and government initiatives promoting digital transformation. International technology companies and infrastructure providers continue investing in new facilities to meet rising customer demand while supporting the country’s ambitions to become a regional digital hub.
The latest contract further strengthens Leighton Asia’s presence in one of the construction industry’s fastest-growing sectors. Data centres have become a major area of investment worldwide, driven by the rapid expansion of cloud computing, artificial intelligence applications, edge computing, digital banking, e-commerce, and enterprise software services. Delivering these facilities requires specialist expertise in complex engineering, precision construction, commissioning, and operational reliability.
Commenting on the award, ACS Group and HOCHTIEF Chief Executive Officer and CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaría highlighted the growing importance of digital infrastructure worldwide and the increasing need for experienced construction partners capable of delivering technically advanced projects.
He noted that demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate globally, creating opportunities for companies with proven capabilities in constructing highly complex mission-critical facilities. According to Santamaría, the latest award demonstrates the confidence clients place in the group’s technical expertise and reinforces its position within the expanding global data centre market.
He added that delivering advanced digital infrastructure requires not only construction excellence but also the ability to coordinate sophisticated engineering systems while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and project execution.
Leighton Asia Managing Director Brad Davey also welcomed the opportunity to partner with NTT Global Data Centers on the important development.
Davey said the company is pleased to support NTT in delivering another critical piece of digital infrastructure for Thailand. He emphasized that Leighton Asia’s vertically integrated capabilities enable the company to provide clients with comprehensive services spanning construction, engineering installation, testing, commissioning, and project delivery.
The integrated approach allows Leighton Asia to manage complex project requirements efficiently while ensuring seamless coordination between multiple technical disciplines throughout every stage of construction.
Over recent years, Leighton Asia has established a strong track record of delivering complex infrastructure projects across the Asia-Pacific region. The company has successfully completed projects spanning transportation, healthcare, commercial developments, industrial facilities, and increasingly, advanced digital infrastructure.
Its growing involvement in the data centre sector reflects broader market trends, as governments and private investors continue prioritizing resilient digital infrastructure to support economic growth, innovation, and technological advancement.
The Bangkok project also illustrates the increasing collaboration between global technology companies and experienced engineering contractors capable of meeting demanding project specifications. Mission-critical facilities such as data centres require rigorous planning, precision execution, and adherence to strict operational standards to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
As Thailand continues attracting investment from international technology firms, demand for world-class construction expertise is expected to remain strong. New data centre developments will play a vital role in supporting cloud services, artificial intelligence workloads, digital communications, financial technology, and enterprise computing across the region.
For Leighton Asia, the award further expands its portfolio of mission-critical infrastructure projects while strengthening relationships with leading global data centre operators. The project also reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting the development of resilient, future-ready digital infrastructure that enables businesses, governments, and communities to thrive in an increasingly connected world.
With construction now moving forward, the Bangkok data centre campus is set to become another important addition to Thailand’s rapidly evolving digital infrastructure landscape, supporting growing demand for secure, reliable, and scalable data services across Southeast Asia.
