Data Centres facilities and security services

Allied Force Group supports data centre environments where access is controlled, cleaning is technical rather than cosmetic, and any work near live equipment is planned. Attendance is arranged under permit, technical cleaning follows a defined method, and disruptive tasks are booked into agreed change windows.

Technical environments where access, cleanliness and record keeping are tightly controlled. We work to agreed permits and change windows, with attendance and task sign-off documented at the point of work. Scope and delivery arrangements are confirmed following a site review.

What matters on these estates

Access under permit

Escorting, inductions and permit requirements agreed in writing before any attendance.

Technical cleaning regimes

Cleaning methods and frequencies set by area type, from white space to plant and loading areas.

Planned change windows

Disruptive tasks scheduled into agreed windows and evidenced afterwards.

How we run it

Nothing happens without a permit

Inductions, escorting, RAMS and permit-to-work requirements are agreed in writing before anyone attends, and the same rules apply to every member of our supply chain.

Cleaning by area type

Methods and frequencies are set separately for white space, plant rooms, loading areas and support space, because the risk and the acceptable materials are different in each.

Disruptive work in agreed windows

Anything that could affect the operating environment is scheduled into an agreed change window and evidenced afterwards. Scope and delivery arrangements are confirmed following a site review.

Evidence you receive
  • Permit-to-work, RAMS and induction records
  • Attendance logged against each visit
  • Cleaning sign-off by area type

Questions buyers ask

Data Centres facilities questions

How is access controlled on a data centre site?

Attendance is arranged in advance under the site's permit and escort arrangements, with personnel identified and inducted before they arrive rather than cleared at the door.

What does technical cleaning involve?

Technical cleaning follows a defined method for the environment — controlled equipment, appropriate materials and agreed routes — so the work does not introduce risk to live equipment.

How is disruptive work scheduled?

Work that could affect live equipment is programmed into agreed change windows with the site team, documented in advance and evidenced when it is completed.

Can security be provided alongside facilities work?

Yes. Access control, reception security and patrols can be coordinated with the facilities work under the same contract. The scope and delivery arrangements for a specific site are confirmed following a site review.
