BESIX expands its expertise with growing data centre portfolio

Group 1 min read

In recent years, BESIX has established itself as a leading contractor for large data centre projects in Belgium. In December 2024, we have secured our fifth data centre contract for an international client within just three years!

As part of a temporary joint venture with Jan De Nul, BESIX is responsible for constructing the structural and architectural envelope components of a new large data centre with auxiliary structures and external works in the area of Charleroi.

Data centres play a crucial role in today’s digital infrastructure, demanding advanced design and construction techniques. This project is a fast-track endeavour, with a tight timeline for delivery in under a year, while adhering to stringent HSE and quality standards. As the demand for more powerful and technologically advanced facilities continues to grow, the challenges become even greater. A large team and significant manpower are being mobilised to ensure the project's success. BESIX's expertise in delivering complex infrastructure projects, including multiple high-profile data centres in Belgium and Australia, is key to the success of this new data centre.

This project not only showcases BESIX's ability to manage complex and time-sensitive infrastructure projects but also reinforces our role in supporting the expansion of the digital economy across Europe and beyond.
