Protecting IT Equipment from contamination.
Encapsulation during refurbishment, contamination control at the doorway, and calibrated surveys to prove what’s in the air and on the floor.
One of the biggest sources of particulate contamination of IT equipment is dust created during refurbishment work. The dust is very abrasive — and therefore very damaging to the moving parts of servers, such as fans.
Construction dust is also produced in vast quantities and is very small, so it travels long distances and settles deep inside equipment. Our Protecting IT Equipment service combines physical protection, contamination control at the entrance, and validated measurement of what’s actually in your environment.
THREE-LAYER DEFENCE
- Protect - physical encapsulation of equipment during refurbishment.
- Control - Tak Mats actively capturing particulate at the doorway.
- Measure - Solair 5100+ surveys plus laboratory analysis of settled PM.
ProtectIT — Equipment Protection
One of the biggest sources of particulate contamination is dust created during refurbishment work. Construction dust is abrasive and produced in vast quantities — very damaging to moving parts like server fans. ProtectIT shields your IT equipment during nearby construction activity.
Contamination Control Tiles (Tack Mats)
We supply ITDecom tiles, which actively remove particulate from feet, wheels and anything else that comes into contact with the surface. Utilising Van der Waals force, dust is attracted to the surface and held there — keeping it out of your clean zone.
Airborne Particulate Matter Survey
Using a calibrated Solair 5100+ air particulate reader, we sample the air within your critical environment to determine what size particles are present and at what concentration — the baseline for any remediation plan.
Particulate Matter Survey & Reporting
We facilitate laboratory analysis of particulate matter (PM) — dust — to determine what it is and therefore what the source might be. Settled PM is collected using a vacuum cleaner with new bags; the bag is then sent to the lab for analysis.
Laboratory Services
We can arrange a number of laboratory services in support of your contamination control programme — from particulate identification through to fibre and chemical analysis. Get in touch for the full list.
