Data centers

Foundation and groundworks for data centres

Data centres are one of the fastest growing construction segments in the Nordics, and GMT is already deeply involved. We carry out foundation work, piling, ground stabilisation and concrete works for some of the region’s largest data centre projects.

A stable foundation is crucial for data centres

A data centre places extreme demands on the foundation. Heavy server halls, cooling facilities and redundant systems require a foundation that is precise, load-bearing and durable over a long time.

The ground often needs to be reinforced and stabilised before the buildings can be raised, and the work must be done at high pace and with full control of quality and safety. This is where GMT has unique experience. As an ISO-certified full-service contractor, and as part of the Infralogistic group, we have both the expertise and the capacity to deliver foundation and groundworks at the scale that data centre projects require.
