Surfaces tested in data centres & server farms

The data centres & server farms surface vocabulary.

Every data centres & server farms site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

  1. 01 · SURFACE

    Raised-access flooring panels in server hallstested for both panel-surface and edge PTV

  2. 02 · SURFACE

    Painted concrete in plant roomstested under representative wear

  3. 03 · SURFACE

    Anti-slip aggregate at chiller-perimeter drainswet-exposure

  4. 04 · SURFACE

    Concrete with hydrocarbon-resistant sealer in generator yardsweather-and-fuel exposure

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

Generic slip testing misses the zones that actually generate incidents. Data Centres & Server Farms sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Server hall raised-floor edges

Edge-of-panel pedestrian exposure.

Chiller-room perimeter

Continuous condensate exposure.

Generator-yard fuel handling

Hydrocarbon-residue accumulation.
