The Asia-Pacific data centre market is experiencing rapid growth as one of the most critical infrastructure components needed for the operation of a modern economy driven by increased cloud adoption, the rise of AI, and the need for digital content consumption. Data centre construction involves creating facilities that house and protect vast amounts of critical digital information, requiring highly specialised infrastructure, extreme reliability, and significant energy capacity. This process is complex and demands meticulous planning, a deep understanding of technological and regulatory requirements, and a strong focus on sustainability. Subsequently, data centre construction faces numerous risks, including safety hazards like electrical shock and fire, logistical challenges from supply chain disruptions, and potential disruptions due to cyberattacks or power outages. Extreme weather and climate change also pose risks, affecting both construction and operation. In this session we look at the predicted growth of the data centre market and the inherent risks association with construction projects.
