Data Centres

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.

How we run it

Nothing happens without a permit

Inductions, escorting and permit 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.
