Data Centre Commissioning
Data Centre Mission Critical Commissioning
Data Centre owners benefit in two ways from LotusWorks; through the commissioning of the facility during 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 minimised re-visit times on facility systems and equipment during commissioning.
To ensure Data Centre 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.
Project Scopes Include
Level of Data Center Commissioning
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.
Benefits experienced when engaging expert Data Centre Commissioning Teams
- 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 – less 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 less 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 familiarisation of the facility, instruments and equipment after the commissioning process has concluded, allowing datacenter 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 meet environmental standards
FAQ
LotusWorks Datacenter Commissioning Services offer data center owners two main advantages: commissioning during various facility phases and providing expert operations and maintenance teams once the facility is commercially operational.
