Rocketing data usage is driving a construction boom for data centres, but contractors and developers must navigate a specialised risk and insurance landscape to ensure the success of their projects.

Data usage has surged during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the increase in users working and socialising remotely. This has created a need for supporting infrastructure, such as data handling and storage facilities, the construction of which raises specific risk management and construction insurance considerations.

The sector presents an interesting mix of physical and contractual risk factors that must be considered when negotiating construction contracts and finance agreements, as well as when designing and placing the project insurance programme.
