Skanska has signed a contract with data centre specialist Telehouse for a data centre project in London Docklands.

The £158m project within the former East India Docks next to the A13 involves the mechanical and electrical fit-out of two of the floors, together with the installation of extra plant and infrastructure.

The Telehouse West 2 project will be built at the site of a former Travelodge Hotel at Coriander Avenue and rise to 10 floors.

It also includes other construction work in support of the development of the facility.

Early works have already started, and the project is scheduled to be completed in June 2024.
