KUALA LUMPUR: Gamuda Bhd has secured a RM1.71bil contract from a US multinational technology firm for the construction of a single-storey hyperscale data centre in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the group said its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gamuda Engineering Sdn Bhd, accepted the undertaking for site infrastructure works, building core and shell construction and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) fitout construction.

The project will commence in the third quarter of 2026, and is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2028.

Gamuda expects the project to contribute positively to its revenue and earnings for the financial year ending July 31, 2027, until its completion.
