From enquiry to handover in Elgin
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth. For sites in Elgin we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Before you book in Elgin
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Elgin often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
