By applying our core strengths in structural delivery and execution, we are able to meet the demands of today’s hyperscale data centre market for speed, quality and scalability. We are also seeing stronger emphasis on environmental performance, with certifications and green features becoming standard in data centre design. Our role is to ensure these evolving requirements are met with reliability and precision,” said IJM Group CEO & Managing Director, Dato’ Lee Chun Fai.
