Your Definitive Post-Construction Checklist for Atlanta Data Centers

Data centers provide crucial infrastructure for today’s technology-driven world. These buildings safely house important IT equipment like servers, networking devices, and storage systems, along with supportive infrastructure that powers them and keeps them cool. 

As big data and AI technology becomes more integral to a wide variety of industries, the need for data centers explodes. Atlanta is one of the top data center markets in the US, with demand increasing by 43% year over year. As new data centers are built across the city, it’s important to start things off on the right foot with comprehensive post-construction cleaning. 

Why Post-Construction Data Center Cleaning Matters

Every workplace should be clean — but in some professions, it matters even more. Data centers are filled with servers and technology that need pristine environments in order to work efficiently and safely. Why not create an immaculately clean environment from day one? Here’s how a top quality post-construction clean can help. 

Eliminate long punch lists. 

Building inspectors rightfully have high standards for data centers, and an improper clean could leave you with a long to-do list that delays move-in. Choose a post-construction cleaning company in Atlanta who knows how to check every box, making it easy for your data center to get up and running in no time! Consider the following when choosing a cleaning company: 

  • Do they clean hard-to-reach areas such as structural features, MEP piping, specialty or decorative ceiling features?
  • Do they provide floor clearing for all types of flooring and finishes, including carpet shampooing and stripping and waxing for VCT flooring? 
  • Do they detail behind-the-scenes spaces like mechanical rooms? 
  • Do they clean in detail for functional and decorative features alike? 
  • Do they clean interior and exterior glass surfaces, leaving them spotless? 

Keep technology safe. 

Data center technology is particularly sensitive to dust, debris, and dirt. When equipment is exposed to these contaminants, it runs more slowly and reduces its overall lifespan — not to mention the risk of fire hazard. For all of these reasons and more, it’s essential to offer a clean space for your new data center. It’s also essential to keep it pristine with routine cleaning by experienced professionals

Lower your costs. 

A dirty space creates bigger bills, from HVAC inefficiency to equipment malfunctions. The cost of proper cleaning is just a drop in the bucket compared to the costs of data center downtime that stems from a cleanliness issue. In fact, 70% data center downtimes cost at least $100,000. To protect your building, your business, and your wallet, invest in a good post-construction clean, and follow it up with a regular cleaning schedule.
