Sub-Floor Cleaning

Sub-floor cleaning Sub-floor cleaning Sub-floor cleaning

Raised access flooring in computer rooms is designed to provide space to lay cables and permit air flow. This air plenum must not accumulate contaminants that could enter equipment and cause damage or decrease the effectiveness of the cooling system. To reduce the risk of overheating or fire, industry best practices recommend, at a minimum, the sub-floor area be cleaned annually.

  • Sub-floor cleaning targets tile edges and undersides, grilles, pedestals and stringers, all cables, cable trays, power points, floor surfaces and equipment under the floor.
  • All BACS sub-floor services conclude with a full above-floor clean.
  • BACS cleaners follow the approved Scope of Works and complete the job on time.
  • A customer briefing is conducted to discuss your power connection preferences, isolation of detection systems (VESDA, pressure and moisture) and maximum number of tiles to be lifted at one time
  • A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are provided prior to commencement of service.
  • All electrical equipment used is dedicated to cleaning IT environments and is tagged and tested monthly (???).
  • A dry clean is performed using low decibel vacuums equipped with HEPA filters (efficiency rating 99.97% at 0.3 microns).
  • Proven proprietary BACS cleaning techniques focus on minimal and controlled use of moisture, avoiding contact with smoke detectors, moisture sensors, cables and power points in your air plenum.
  • BACS sub-floor cleans can be validated with particle counts to achieve ISO 14644 particle level standards.
