How we work in Lerwick
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth.

Local points to consider
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Working hours
Most Lerwick businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
