Equinix Data Centres is a programme of data centre development, expansion and infrastructure projects delivered across Hong Kong. Since 2008, WT has supported Equinix on multiple facilities in Tsuen Wan, Tseung Kwan O and Sha Tin, contributing to the growth of its International Business Exchange (IBX) platform and colocation services network.
Commissioned by Equinix Hong Kong Limited, the programme comprised a series of new data centre developments, fit-outs, expansions, infrastructure upgrades and technical advisory commissions. Early engagements included due diligence for the conversion of an industrial building into a data centre in Tseung Kwan O, followed by the delivery of the HK2 facility in Tsuen Wan, which was developed in two phases and provided approximately 116,000 ft² of gross floor area.
Subsequent projects included the expansion of existing facilities through HK2-III, HK2-IV and HK3-II in Tsuen Wan, together with the HK5-I&II data centre in Tseung Kwan O. These developments were delivered to Equinix’s IBX standards for colocation services and included new data halls, critical infrastructure and associated plant installations. The programme also included the replacement and upgrade of existing chiller systems at HK1, detailed design cost estimating for the HK6-I GSIF project in Tsuen Wan, and additional commissions supporting Equinix’s ongoing data centre expansion programme in Hong Kong.
Across the portfolio, projects ranged from data centre fit-outs of approximately 3,000 m² to larger facilities with construction floor areas of approximately 27,000 m², reflecting the continued expansion of Equinix’s digital infrastructure platform in Hong Kong.
WT provided quantity surveying and cost management services across multiple Equinix projects over nearly two decades. Our involvement included due diligence studies, pre-contract and post-contract quantity surveying services, cost planning, cost estimating, tendering support and commercial management for new data centres, facility expansions, fit-out works and infrastructure upgrades.
