How it works in Chester-le-Street
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth.
Design resilience
Duty/standby units, changeover control and power supplies are designed together.
Install with minimal risk
Work around live equipment is planned with your IT team and kept clean. We keep work areas in Chester-le-Street screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Working hours
Most Chester-le-Street businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
