-- IJM Construction Sdn Bhd (“IJM Construction”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IJM Corporation Berhad (“IJM”), has been awarded a RM873.9 million contract by Pearl Computing Malaysia Sdn Bhd for mechanical and electrical (M&E) fit-out works for a hyperscale data centre at Elmina Business Park, Selangor.
This award follows IJM’s earlier announcement on 23 October for the RM1.26 billion core and shell package awarded by a subsidiary of Sime Darby Property Sdn Bhd, both forming part of the same hyperscale data-centre development within Elmina Business Park. Together, the two contracts bring the total value of the project to RM2.135 billion.
The M&E scope covers the supply and installation of mechanical, electrical, security and telecommunication systems, together with the coordination, commissioning and integration of all related systems and owner-furnished equipment (OFE). Work is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2026 and targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2028.
Dato’ Lee Chun Fai, Group CEO & Managing Director, IJM Corporation Berhad, said:
“Following the earlier core and shell package, this award marks a significant scale-up in IJM’s data-centre portfolio, underscoring market confidence in our delivery capability, execution strength and ability to manage large-format digital infrastructure.”
“The Elmina project also reflects our growing foothold in Malaysia’s digital-infrastructure sector and builds on our collaboration with Sime Darby Property to deliver assets that meet the needs of global technology clients,” added Dato’ Lee.
Order book and strategic outlook
This latest award increases IJM Construction’s total outstanding order book to approximately RM15.2 billion, its highest to date, including the Group’s share of construction associates in the United Kingdom and Singapore. Within Malaysia, IJM’s domestic construction order book stands at about RM9.3 billion, with fast-track industrial buildings — including data centres, electrical & electronic (E&E) facilities and logistics hubs — now accounting for about 55% of the total, the fastest-growing segment in the portfolio.
With its expanding experience in data-centre delivery, integrated capabilities across civil, structural and M&E works, disciplined project management and financial strength, IJM Construction is well positioned to capture opportunities in Malaysia’s growing digital and industrial-infrastructure landscape.
As Malaysia accelerates its digital economy, IJM continues to broaden its pipeline of purpose-built infrastructure, industrial buildings and mission-critical developments for leading technology clients.
