Site Survey

Before starting the deployment of any hardware, a site survey is carried out. To be able to carry out the site survey, our specialists come on site. By using a checklist, all necessary information is collected.
The site survey we perform for all our clients in telecommunications includes: documented inspection of the building access procedures, security, colocation space inspection and power inspection. The checlist standard consists of the following items:

• Capture details of the facility (confirm site address, access procedures, parking, delivery/removal process)
• Capture details of the customer cage (confirm room/rack codes, distance between cage and loading bay, any possible issues that could arise when working in that cage)
• Capture details of the customer racks (dimensions including the height in RU, confirm rack codes, and type of lockson rack doors)
• Detailed photos of the customer cage/racks

In addition, there are a number of items on the checklist that depend on the specific customer requirements. These are the items below:

• Detailed rack elevation drawings of the customer racks (including device model/hostname)
• Audit power (list the available power in each rack, map all power connections within each rack)
• Full patching audit (trace and document all connections in the customer racks)
• Measure cable runs between each rack.
• Capture details of the fire suppression system.
