Services / Audits & Reports
A written record of exactly what is in your facility, what condition it is in, and what needs to happen next. Useful for management, compliance, insurance, and planning.
We inspect your facility thoroughly and document what we find. The report is accurate and concise, written for data centre management and relevant stakeholders. It is not a sales document. It is a factual record of the contamination load, risks, and recommended actions.
Audit reports are used to raise concerns with senior management, justify maintenance spend, satisfy insurer requirements, and support planning for upcoming works. If something is wrong in your facility, the audit gives you the documented evidence to act on it.
Every audit includes a signed-off job sheet confirming the scope of the inspection. If you commission a follow-up decontamination, the audit report becomes the baseline for before-and-after comparison.

Common issues identified during data centre audits across Australian facilities.
Computer Room Air Conditioning units accumulate heavy dust on belts and internal components. Contaminated CRAC units reduce cooling efficiency and create a secondary contamination source as they recirculate particulates through the room.
Airflow riskDust accumulation on server and equipment inlets restricts airflow and causes thermal throttling. In severe cases it leads to shutdown and component failure. This is often the first visible sign of an overdue maintenance cycle.
Overheating riskCorrosion on tile undersides and copper pipework, evidence of liquid spills on rack tops and floor surfaces, and hydraulic oil deposits on the underside of raised floor tiles. All indicate infrastructure issues that require investigation beyond cleaning.
Infrastructure riskGyprock dust, concrete particles, cut cable offcuts, and tile edge debris left from previous construction or fitout works. Construction debris in a live data centre is an immediate contamination and short-circuit risk.
Immediate riskDoors not sealed properly, cut tile edges not deburred, unsealed cable penetrations in raised floors and ceiling voids. Each gap is an entry point for contamination and a bypass in the facility's environmental containment.
Containment riskMould contamination in areas with moisture ingress, and evidence of vermin activity in subfloor voids and ceiling spaces. Both are biohazards in a critical environment and indicate climate or structural issues requiring remediation beyond decontamination.
Biohazard riskA structured document you can act on.
Date of inspection, facility details, scope of areas inspected, and names of authorised personnel present during the audit.
Itemised list of contamination sources, infrastructure issues, and risks identified. Each finding is described clearly without jargon.
Each finding is rated by severity and urgency. Management can prioritise action based on operational and compliance risk rather than working through a flat list.
Specific actions for each finding, including whether the issue requires immediate remediation, scheduled maintenance, or escalation to another specialist.
Real findings from data centre assessments. Each one a risk not previously documented.
