Sika Unveils End-to-End Solutions to Accelerate Hyperscale and Edge Data Center Builds

(IN BRIEF) Sika described its integrated suite of construction solutions in Dallas, highlighting its track record of over 1,000 data centers built and a strong future pipeline. Global data center spending is expected to top CHF 400 billion by 2028, with significant U.S. investments like the CHF 410 billion Stargate project. Sika’s fiber-reinforced slabs remove the need for steel rebar, cutting up to 13,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions on a 25,000 m² build. Its waterproofing, reflective roofing, and quick-install flooring systems further enhance durability, energy efficiency, and construction speed—backed by 15 years of industry expertise.

(PRESS RELEASE) BAAR, 13-Jun-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Sika has unveiled its strategic vision and high-performance product portfolio designed to accelerate the next wave of data center construction in Dallas, United States. Having already partnered on over 1,000 facilities globally and maintaining a robust pipeline of new projects, Sika is reinforcing its reputation as the trusted partner for technology leaders shaping tomorrow’s digital infrastructure.

Worldwide data center investment is set to surpass CHF 400 billion by 2028, fueled by explosive growth in cloud services, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. In the United States alone, the Stargate initiative will inject an additional CHF 410 billion over the next four years into hyperscale and AI-training facilities. By 2030, global data center power capacity demands (in gigawatts) are forecast to quadruple compared to 2024, driving unprecedented construction activity that must balance speed with the highest standards of quality, durability, and sustainability.

“From foundations to roofs, Sika’s end-to-end solutions deliver certainty for data center operators everywhere,” said Thomas Hasler, Chief Executive Officer. “Whether erecting hyperscale campuses or edge-site facilities, clients rely on our global reach, local support, and proven product performance to meet aggressive timelines and stringent environmental targets. After more than 15 years serving the industry’s major players, we continue to set the bar for reliability and sustainability.”

Sika’s innovations include fiber-reinforced concrete slab-on-ground systems that eliminate traditional steel reinforcement—reducing lifetime CO₂-equivalent emissions by up to 13,000 tons for a 25,000 m² data center—while accelerating placement and minimizing labor. Its advanced waterproofing membranes form fully bonded, flexible barriers to protect critical infrastructure against moisture ingress. On rooftops, high-reflectivity coatings deflect solar heat to lower interior cooling loads and trim air-conditioning energy use. And inside, rapid-install, durable flooring systems provide seamless, low-maintenance surfaces purpose-built for high-traffic server rooms.
