ST Telemedia unit launches hyperscale 40MW data centre in Loyang

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) on Tuesday announced that it has officially launched its hyperscale data centre with an IT load capacity of up to 40 megawatts (MW) at Loyang Close.

The six-storey facility, STT Loyang, is STT GDC's largest facility in Singapore to date, and has a gross floor area of more than 27,000 square metres (sq m), as well as a net lettable area of over 10,700 sq m.

To mitigate construction delays as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the electrical, mechanical and building elements of the data centre were prefabricated off-site, with the help of building information modelling 3D design technologies, said STT GDC in a press statement on Tuesday.

This brings the number of data centres STT GDC has in Singapore to eight. The data centre provider has more than 120 data centres across seven countries: Singapore, China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
