Datacenter Mission Critical Commissioning

Data center owners benefit in two ways from LotusWorks; through the commissioning of the facility during the pre-design, design, and construction phases to being commercially operational and delivering expert operations and maintenance teams. LotusWorks‘ commissioning approach and our experience in mission-critical environments, means the clients we partner with experience risk elimination and minimized re-visit times on facility systems and equipment during commissioning.

To ensure data center availability, LotusWorks’ commissioning activities focus on verifying that critical support systems namely the power system, cooling system, and IT infrastructure, are designed for maximum uptime.

Data Center Commissioning Project Scopes Include:

Management and project engineering support for all commissioning and QAQC activities in a live mission-critical facility
Third-party CxA management, vendor management, QAQC, scheduling, preconstruction planning, project closeout, incomplete utility systems at the time of testing
Pre-commissioning field reports
Factory acceptance tests
Equipment interfaces understood and tested
Commissioning lists
Issue resolution meetings

Levels of Data Center Commissioning Involvement

LotusWorks’ most successful projects to date have been those where our expert technical teams were involved in all levels of the commissioning process.

Commissioning will lower the risk of failure and ensures the system works as an integrated whole. By performing phase 5- Integrated Systems Testing (IST), the entire facility is tested under full load and in failure scenarios and all components and systems verified. The facilities projects we’ve completed are fully commissioned – tested in failure, safety, emergency & unplanned test modes.

Planning and Project Management: Projects experience fewer change orders, delays, and rework, avoiding the considerable costs of late occupancy, liquidated damages, extended equipment rentals, and other costs associated with delays – fewer deficiencies through L1 – L5
Integrates System Testing: LotusWorks perform sophisticated processes and tests to verify that all facility components work together as an integrated system. The client experiences comprehensive data capture on the integrated systems, ensuring traceability and managing equipment/instrument lifecycles
Risk Elimination: Enhancing risk elimination by addressing installation quality issues ensures fewer change orders, fast issue resolution and eliminates project delays
Experienced Technical Teams: LotusWorks also provide Operations & Maintenance teams who can hit the ground running due to familiarization with the facility, instruments and equipment after the commissioning process has concluded, allowing data center sustaining work to be carried out quickly and efficiently
LEED Certification: Commissioning is a requirement for LEED certification. The LotusWorks LEED accredited teams can assist clients in creating energy-efficient facilities and meeting environmental standards

Top Quality Commissioning

“This is one of the best installations I have seen yet. All parts of the commissioning process were met. From our pre-walk inspections and punch-list to the final inspection. A pleasure to work with! Please extend our appreciation to your team.”
