The first phase of work includes all site development, structure build-out, administrative space and colo one. This data center will support major cloud services and be part of a significant campus development for a confidential high-tech client. Each colo has four data cells, including hot aisle containment systems and a plenum system above to cool the hot aisles. This project is targeting LEED Gold certification.
This tier III, Energy Star-rated data center is capable of supporting up to 36 MW. The facility was constructed adjacent to a wetland, which complicated project construction and created site constraints. Protecting the ecosystem in which we were working required multiple environmental permits from DEQ, Washington County and the Army Corps of Engineers. A detailed erosion and sediment control plan was implemented to prevent soil and construction debris from reaching the wetland areas.
Skanska constructed two 60,000-SF, world-class, tier III data centers for TELUS. The fully modular buildings are constructed of 56 container-sized blocks that were fully built in the U.S. and were UL-certified prior to shipment to Canada. The facilities operate in free-cooling mode throughout the year, requiring only about 40 hours each year of mechanically assisted cooling. Combined, the two sites emit 13.9 billion tons less carbon each year than a traditional data center, which is a $29.5 million savings in energy costs. The LEED® Gold-certified facilities use four times less water than traditional data centers.

This tier III data center includes two, 18,000-SF data halls, N+2 Generators, 3 x 4 static UPS module systems (N+1) and a 1 x 8 MW medium voltage UPS system. The project also involved reconfiguration of an existing stormwater retention pond, the provision of additional asphalt parking, and a new internal road to connect the old and new parking lots. Built to LEED® Gold standards, including optimum PUEs, the building averages 1.3 during normal climate conditions and 1.6 during summer.
A conversion of an existing facility into a tier III, six-MW data center, the facility sits between two existing data centers. The highly complex renovation will be tied into existing infrastructure, with the installation of three cooling towers and backup generators for mechanical and DRUPS system for electrical. The scope also includes a re-roof component and the demolition of air handling units (AHUs) which involved demolishing duct penetration inside the data center.
This new, two-story facility is a tier III, 48MW data center with administration space. The building includes 18 electrical pods, two of which are for redundancy, that were prefabricated offsite as well as chillers, power distribution units and a PVC roof with a wire mesh system for checking for leaks. The team managed the owner’s precast concrete subcontractor and supplier.

A first-of-its-kind facility with 3.8 MW of storage, a geodesic dome houses and protects the data center, providing a greener, partial passive cooling approach with minimal mechanical equipment. Our team provided infrastructure, such as two primary transformers, three primary switches and three planned UPS systems. We also used an auger to bore underneath Bronson Creek to pull electrical and water pipes underneath it without disturbing the landscape.

The project consisted of infrastructure work to accommodate 14 modular G-CON clean room pods that make up three manufacturing suites. The renovated area is on the ground floor level previously designated as 15,000-SF of high-bay warehouse and central utility plant and a 10,000-SF penthouse that was repurposed for MEP support for the manufacturing space. The modular clean room pods were pre-purchased and manufactured for delivery and installation. Skanska assembled the pods and tied-in the chilled water, electric, fire sprinklers, domestic water and waste.
Over the last 30 years, Skanska has worked side-by-side with the client on more than 200 projects, totaling over $5 billion. Most of Skanska’s work has been in operating facilities, both fabs/semiconductors with clean rooms and office spaces. Skanska oversees campus logistics and coordinates with other general contractors on site to ensure all projects are successfully completed without impacting the client’s ongoing operations.
Modernization of an operational industrial manufacturing plant, bringing it in line with FDA air-quality requirements and renovating 150,000-SF of existing space. A new HVAC system was installed, and work throughout the facility included renovations to existing departments as well as the construction of new buildings on campus to modernize the facility. All work took place while the plant remained fully operational.
Skanska renovated an existing warehouse building into a new, advanced facility for manufacturing software compatible glucose monitors. The facility includes Class 100,000 manufacturing clean room space, chemistry prep and microbiology labs, a production machine shop, high-bay warehouse space, equipment mezzanines, and Class B office, training and support space.
