Challenges
Hanscom Air Force Base needed contaminant removal from raised-floor and sub-floor spaces serving mission-critical data center equipment and cooling pathways.
Particulate accumulation could restrict airflow, reduce cooling performance, and increase equipment-degradation risk within active IT rooms.
Security controls and approved maintenance windows required precise sequencing that avoided unnecessary interruption to mission-critical operations.
Technologies
- Raised-floor and sub-floor cleaning
- high-efficiency particulate air filtration
- electrostatic-discharge-safe cleaning systems
- environmental-condition documentation
- facility access controls
Solution
Performed precision cleaning of raised-floor and sub-floor areas using high-efficiency particulate air filtration and anti-static cleaning systems.
Coordinated activity within approved maintenance windows and Air Force security requirements to protect active equipment and reduce site time.
Documented observable environmental conditions and recommended follow-on maintenance to sustain clearer airflow paths after cleaning.
Outcomes delivered
Reduced particulate-related equipment degradation risk across active mission systems.
Improved airflow paths supporting more predictable cooling performance.
Preserved operational continuity during approved mission-facility maintenance windows.
Provided recommended follow-on environmental-maintenance actions for ongoing facility care.
