BRD’s Exterior Wall System Empowers Malaysia’s GDS KTP Data Center

Date:2025-11-28

As Malaysia accelerates its digital transformation, the new GDS KTP Data Center has emerged as a key infrastructure node connecting Southeast Asia’s rapidly expanding cloud and hyperscale ecosystem. Designed as a high-efficiency, high-reliability facility, the project required an exterior wall system capable of meeting the stringent demands of modern data centers—thermal performance, durability, airtightness, and long-term stability.

BRD New Materials (BRD), a trusted partner in high-performance insulated panel solutions, delivered the complete exterior wall system for the project. Leveraging its expertise in industrial building envelopes, BRD supported the KTP Data Center from material selection to on-site installation, enabling the facility to achieve both performance excellence and architectural clarity.

The KTP Data Center follows BRD’s other notable data infrastructure projects in Malaysia—including the PDG Data Center and the Cheetah Data Center—further strengthening BRD’s presence in the region’s digital construction sector.

Aligned Vision: When Mission-Critical Engineering Meets BRD’s Building Philosophy

As a global operator, GDS values engineering precision, operational stability, and sustainable construction. BRD shares this commitment through its mission of “Building a better world together — making life and buildings more comfortable.”

This alignment in vision—reliability, sustainability, and high-performance architecture—made BRD’s insulated panel system the natural fit for the KTP project, where even minor deviations could impact data center operations.

Technical Solutions: A Tailored Exterior Wall System for a Tropical, High-Demand Data Center

Data centers require tight thermal control and stable building envelopes to support uninterrupted operation. BRD addressed these requirements with a comprehensive suite of materials and installation systems.

• 100mm PU-Sealing Rock Wool Sandwich Panel
KTP adopts BRD’s 100mm rock wool wall panel with polyurethane edge sealing, delivering:
Excellent fire resistance
Superior insulation efficiency
Enhanced airtightness
Reduced cooling load and stable interior conditions

This sandwich panel system provides a robust thermal envelope ideal for data centers in warm, humid climates.

• PVDF High-Performance Exterior Coating
To withstand Malaysia’s intense UV exposure, humidity, and tropical rains, the panels are finished with a PVDF fluorocarbon coating.
Benefits include:
Long-term color stability
High corrosion resistance
Minimal maintenance across the building’s life cycle

• BRD’s Integrated Keel + Exterior Wall Panel Installation
BRD provided the full external steel keel system and complete exterior wall panel installation.
This integrated approach ensures:
Structural stability
High-precision alignment
Improved air and water tightness
System-level performance required for mission-critical buildings
Aesthetic Expression: Clean, Modern Geometry for a Digital-Era Facility

The GDS KTP Data Center’s exterior presents both technological precision and architectural refinement.

Clean geometry: Insulated panel cladding creates a streamlined façade reflecting the “orderliness” of data operations.
Material quality: PVDF-coated surfaces maintain stability and sharpness even in harsh weather.
Soft light diffusion: Subtle textures minimize glare and create a calm, modern visual effect.

This balance of engineering and aesthetics results in an exterior wall system that is both visually coherent and performance-driven.

Long-Term Value: A Regional Benchmark in Sustainable Digital Infrastructure

The collaboration between GDS and BRD embodies a shared pursuit of high-performance, future-ready data infrastructure. With strong expertise in insulated panels, sandwich panel systems, and building envelope engineering, BRD has enabled the KTP Data Center to reach a higher standard of safety, efficiency, and reliability.

Together with the PDG Data Center and Cheetah Data Center—two other BRD-supported projects in Malaysia—the KTP project strengthens BRD’s reputation as a preferred envelope solution provider for data center construction across Southeast Asia.

BRD remains committed to supporting global data infrastructure development through durable materials, integrated installation services, and energy-efficient building solutions.
