A leading Dutch operator of carrier-neutral data centres, Interxion, has announced the construction of a new €12 million data centre in Dublin.

StructureTone has been appointed to build the centre, with work commencing immediately.

Employing 90 construction workers over the initial construction phase, the data centre is due for completion and will be ready for customer installations in early 2010. On completion, the new data centre will provide an additional 2,455m2 of gross equipped space, more than doubling Interxion’s footprint in Dublin.

"We're pleased to appoint industry-leading contractors StructureTone to design and build the data centre to the highest standards, with an emphasis on power efficiency, security, resilience and connectivity," said Tanya Duncan, Managing Director of Interxion Ireland.

"We are excited to see construction already underway and have already geared up our team to handle in-bound enquires on space availability and the new site. We have also strengthened our operations team so that we are ready for the installation of new customers when the first phase of data centre space goes live in early 2010."

Mike Kavanagh, Director in Charge of StructureTone Ireland, added: "Following a competitive tendering process, we are delighted to be engaged by Interxion.

"This is our second data centre project for Interxion in Ireland, and we have also delivered a facility for them in another European location.

"Despite a particularly aggressive programme, I am confident the StructureTone team will deliver beyond expectations. StructureTone has delivered over 3 million sq ft of data centre 'white space' in Europe, which demonstrates our pedigree as one of the foremost mission-critical contractors."
