From the dock to the connection: we put the system in.

A greenfield build, a new room with no existing installation, or a 1-to-1 replacement of an end-of-life system: we plan the work around the site's uptime, not the other way around. Placement, cabling, and connection, carried out by our own engineers.

01Greenfield installation and expansion
021-to-1 replacement of end-of-life systems
03Temporary bypass & redundant transfer

The new system in. The old one out. No downtime.

For a replacement we set up a temporary bypass: a power path that keeps the load protected while the old system comes out and the new one goes in. The load is never left unprotected. The phasing is worked out in advance, system by system, step by step.

We place and install, install-ready.

Install-ready is our end point: the system is in position, cabled, and connected, ready for commissioning by the manufacturer or the system builder. Commissioning, bringing the system into service and testing it, stays with the manufacturer. Batteries we cover in full: from change-out, replacing complete battery strings, to monitoring and testing.

The work package

Transport

White glove treatment: what we bring, we place ourselves. Our own trucks, internal transportation into the server room, and placement in position. The same crew that drives it sets it down: no handover, no unnecessary noise.

Installation

From mechanical placement to the complete electrical connection: cabling and tie-in to the backup power supply. Then we hand over install-ready.

Replacement

Live swap with temporary bypass, so the load is never left unprotected. The old system is removed for certified disposal.

Decommissioning

Safe dismantling of systems going out of service. Batteries are removed in line with the rules, including lithium under ADR, the European regulations for transporting hazardous goods by road, with certified recycling through our recycling partner.

01

Site survey

We visit the site and survey the route, the room, and the connection. Every brand, every configuration.

02

Work preparation & planning

Work preparation plans every hour around your uptime. Bypass, phasing, logistics: fixed in advance.

03

Execution on site

Our own engineers do the work: certified to VCA and NEN 3140, the Dutch standard for safe work on electrical installations, with a fixed ESD protocol against static discharge.

04

Install-ready handover

Placed, cabled, and connected: handed over install-ready for commissioning by the manufacturer or the system builder.

+31 (0)174 221 161

Which UPS brands do we install?

Every brand. We work brand-independent: we carry no brand and never buy on speculation, so we have no stake in any brand. We work on behalf of UPS manufacturers and their channel. We survey every site in advance, whatever brand is going in.

Can a UPS be replaced without downtime?

Yes, with a live swap. We set up a temporary bypass: a power path that keeps the load protected while the old system comes out and the new one goes in. The load is never left unprotected. The phasing is worked out in advance during work preparation, system by system and step by step.

What does install-ready mean?

Install-ready is our end point. The system is in position, cabled and connected to the backup power supply, ready for commissioning by the manufacturer or the system builder. That is where we hand over. Transport into the server room and placement in position we handle ourselves, white glove.

Who commissions and tests the UPS: the manufacturer or us?

The manufacturer or the system builder. Commissioning, bringing the system into service and testing it, stays with the manufacturer, as does maintenance. We position, install, replace and decommission. Batteries we cover in full, from change-out to testing and monitoring, on assignment.

Who do we carry out UPS installations for?

For UPS manufacturers and their channel: distributors, integrators and installers, and M&E contractors. They outsource the execution to us; we plan the work around the uptime of the site. After installation we hand over install-ready to the manufacturer or the system builder.

What happens to the old UPS?

We dismantle it safely and remove it for certified disposal. Batteries go with it in line with the rules, including lithium under ADR, the European regulations for transporting dangerous goods by road. Recycling is certified and runs through our recycling partner.
