For example, in August 2026, it signed a contract worth US $ 1.2bn with an existing client to build four new data centres across the south east of the US, covering approximately 75,000 square metres of shell and interior fit-out work.
The month prior, it signed an initial contract worth US $ 94m for a data centre in Virginia.
A few weeks later it signed another contract worth US $ 238m for another structure with five data halls on the same site. In June, it signed an additional contract worth US $ 255m with an existing client to build a data centre in Georgia, contributing to an unprecedented order intake for the second quarter.
