The steps for a project in Skelmersdale
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 Skelmersdale screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Skelmersdale 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.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
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.
