From enquiry to handover in Horwich
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.

Work around live equipment is planned with your IT team and kept clean. In Horwich we agree timings around your opening hours.
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.
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
