The work is taking place as part of a significant upgrade of its largest data centre, Telehouse South at Docklands in London.
Managing Director Dan Williams from Skanska said: "We are excited to be working with Telehouse to deliver this project. It is something we are ideally suited for, as we are experienced in delivering a wide range of data centre fit outs. This contract will be the one of the largest fit outs, in terms of financial value, that Skanska UK has undertaken."

The project will see the mechanical, electrical and public health engineering fit out of two of the floors. This includes the installation of electrical plant and systems, together with air conditioning and ventilation.
A new roof gantry for plant will also be installed, together with new lifts. The project also involves other construction work, including cladding replacement, reconfiguring the building’s secure entrances, a new gatehouse and new fencing.
The award follows Skanska's delivery of an early works package at the data centre, as part of a preconstruction services agreement. The project is being delivered by Skanska’s specialist mechanical, electrical and public health engineering arm, while the construction work will be delivered by Skanska’s buildings team.
