Sika Drives Innovation in Smart and Sustainable Data Center Construction

Sika presents high-performance solutions for faster, greener data center construction, supporting global growth in AI, cloud, and IoT infrastructure with durable, energy-efficient technologies.

Sika describes the performance technologies and strategic strategies that will drive the future development of the data center facility in Dallas, a city in the US. Having constructed more than 1,000 data centers with Sika solutions and an excellent backlog of further projects ahead, Sika has established itself as a reliable partner of multinational technology companies in their efforts to establish digital infrastructure.

The increasing need for AI, cloud computing, and the IoT is expected to propel global investments in data centers to the level of CHF 400 billion by 2081. After the Stargate project begins, CHF 410 billion will be spent in the US over the following four years to construct infrastructure and data centers for the training and operation of sophisticated AI systems.

By 2030, demand for capacity is projected to be four times higher than it was in 2024. Rapid building processes brought on by the dramatic increase in data center investments must be balanced with high standards for sustainability, durability, and quality. Hyperscale innovations continue to be the dominant force behind large-scale capacity globally.

Additionally, localized infrastructure types like edge data centers are growing in popularity. Owners rely on local technical support and a consistent supply of products, irrespective of the location or size of the data centers. Due to its global reach, Sika is well-positioned to benefit from this new trend.

Sika’s eco-friendly solutions can help a 25,000 m² data center reduce its lifetime carbon emissions by up to 13,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent. Additionally, Sika's fiber reinforcement method increases construction efficiency and sustainability by doing away with the need for steel reinforcement in slabs-on-ground.
