At EdgeConneX, safety is not just a policy; it’s a commitment to the people who bring our vision to life. This principle lies at the heart of our recently celebrated milestone of 1.5 million safe work hours at the Kuala Lumpur data center project in Cyberjaya, Malaysia—an achievement made possible through our strong partnership with BCEI and the dedication of our teams. Cyberjaya is one of several EdgeConneX data centers being built in Malaysia, alongside facilities in downtown Kuala Lumpur and Bukit Jalil. These state-of-the-art centers are designed to offer highly proximate, scalable, and high-power solutions to meet any customer requirement. Beyond the impressive engineering, safety remains the core of our operations.
That’s why we lead with Safety by focusing on our people, understanding the “whys” of those we work with, fostering trust, and prioritizing their well-being. We see Safety as a personal responsibility and a cornerstone of good business. With hundreds of personnel on-site and the demand for accelerated delivery timelines to meet increasing data center capacity, we stay unwavering in our mission to ensure everyone returns home safely. By driving initiatives focused on the following, we continue to set the standard for minimizing incidents and building trust in every project we undertake:
- Prevention
- Continuous improvement
- Creating a culture of accountability
- Forward-leaning processess
- Innovative on-site support
Our partnership with BCEI and the commitment of local teams, including contractors, staff, and craft professionals, have been instrumental in achieving this milestone. Together, we are building more than a data center. We’re setting new standards and cultivating relationships across the region.
Our Malaysia data centers cater to a rapidly growing market for data center solutions within an expanding regional hub. These facilities act as gateways for global cloud services, facilitating expansion throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.
While challenges lie ahead, we are confident in our ability to overcome them as “One Team, One Mission.” We look forward to safely completing this project, continuing to prioritize the well-being of our workforce and the trust of our customers.
