Why do I need a Site Surveys?<\/h3>\n

Once you have identified a location (or several potential locations) for your new build data centre, a site survey will provide an understanding of any risk factors associated with the site as well as an analysis of general suitability, access, and cost factors will enable informed decisions to be taken and costly errors avoided.<\/p>\n

A Future-tech site selection report will ensure that you choose the best site for the specific project requirements, ensuring a smoother, faster, cost effective data centre delivery.<\/p>\n

Methodology<\/h3>\n

The Future-tech data centre site survey and selection methodology encompasses both the physical aspects of the proposed location and also the strategic implications. In keeping with our company ethos, we take a partnership approach to a site analysis to ensure that assessments are in line with corporate data centre objectives.<\/p>\n

Physical assessment involves an expert data centre surveyor\u2019s analysis of essential elements such as power availability, connectivity, access, transport links, environmental threats and security as well as potential location specific risk factors. Site visits and site research are employed. When assessing the suitability of an existing building on the site, the analysis will include construction type, materials and structural limitations. Our experts then analyse these findings against specific corporate requirements ensuring that all recommendations are based on your individual data centre needs.<\/p>\n
