Typical situation no. 20
An investor has acquired a 3 MW data center delivered six months ago. On taking over operations, it finds that the drawings do not match the installations, that several warranties have not been activated and that no maintenance contract has been signed for the UPS and generators.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Without up-to-date drawings, every intervention becomes risky.
- Manufacturer warranties can be lost if maintenance is not carried out.
- The contractors have been paid: the missing documents must be obtained without strong contractual leverage.
WHAT WE DO
- Inventory of existing documentation and of discrepancies with the site.
- List of documents to request, contractor by contractor.
- Specifications and tender for the maintenance contracts.
- Plan to bring the documentation up to date.
WHAT YOU GET
- A documentation status assessment.
- Maintenance contracts tendered and compared.
- A prioritised action plan.
Typical format: Assignment of four to six weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
