Juan Santamaría, chief executive of ACS Group and HOCHTIEF and executive chairman of CIMIC Group, pointed to rising global demand for digital infrastructure. He argued that clients need experienced partners for complex, mission-critical facilities.
“This award reflects the confidence our clients place in the capabilities of our Group and strengthens our position in the data centre sector,” Santamaría said.
Meanwhile, Leighton Asia managing director Brad Davey described the company as a vertically integrated contractor. He argued that approach helps clients through construction, installation and commissioning.
Davey said Leighton Asia was pleased to partner with NTT Global Data Centres on the Bangkok project. The two companies are working together on critical digital infrastructure in Thailand.
Leighton Asia sits within CIMIC Group, whose history dates back to 1899. CIMIC employs about 40,000 people and operates in around 20 countries.
