Data centre point shifting project trip

1. Comprehensive Value Addition Proposal Shifting Project: 300kVA LT Panel, 100kVA UPS, 200kVA DG

2. DG Set Considerations • Fuel line safety checks (valves, leakproofing) – Prevents leakage and ensures fire safety • DG exhaust routing & fireproofing – Reduces fire risk and ensures compliance • DG synchronization panel provision – Enables future scalability with DG systems • DG vibration isolation & silencer check – Reduces noise/vibration and increases lifespan

3. Documentation & Handover • Updated as-built drawings (SLD, wiring diagrams, layouts) – Provides clarity for audits and operations • Cable schedules & test reports (IR, continuity, high-pot) – Ensures compliance with safety standards • Test certificates for UPS, DG, panels (before/after shifting) – Documents shifting quality for reliability • O&M SOPs for operations & maintenance – Provides step-by-step O&M processes • Training sessions for facility engineers – Trains staff for safe operation and maintenance

4. Electrical Reliability & Quality • Power quality checks (harmonics, THD, dips/swells) – Verifies electrical system health before use • Cable termination quality checks (lugs, glands, fire sleeves) – Avoids overheating and fire risks • Proper earthing & bonding (UPS, DG, panel, lightning protection) – Improves equipment safety and reliability • Install surge protection devices (SPD) – Protects equipment against surges & lightning • Phase sequence & polarity check at commissioning – Ensures correct system functionality

5. Energy Efficiency & Sustainability • LED lighting & efficient HVAC in electrical room – Reduces energy consumption and cost • Power factor correction for LT panel – Improves power quality and efficiency • DG operation optimization to avoid oversizing – Ensures DG operates within efficient load range • Provision for future solar integration – Supports long-term sustainability

6. Mechanical & Structural • Floor loading calculation & slab strength verification – Prevents overloading of structure • Cable tray/ladder supports with corrosion protection – Ensures long-term durability of cabling system • Anti-vibration mounts for DG & UPS – Reduces vibrations, enhancing equipment reliability • Seismic bracing for panels & battery racks – Ensures compliance in seismic-prone areas

7. Monitoring & Automation • Smart meters for power monitoring (PF, harmonics) – Provides real-time energy and power quality monitoring • Remote monitoring (UPS/DG with BMS/SCADA) – Allows remote visibility and control • Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS/AMF) for DG – Automates DG start/stop during outages • Event/data logging for preventive maintenance – Supports predictive maintenance

8. Post-Shifting Support • Defect Liability Period (DLP) for workmanship – Assures client of quality commitment • Preventive maintenance check post 1–3 months – Early detection of issues post-installation • Emergency response plan & escalation matrix – Ensures fast recovery in case of breakdowns • Spare parts readiness (fuses, MCCB/MCB, lugs, relays) – Minimizes downtime with quick replacements

9. Pre-Shifting Preparation • Site survey for new & old locations (space, ventilation, floor loading, clearances) – Ensures adequacy and readiness of new & old site • Cabling & routing plan (shortest path, segregation of power/control) – Reduces future rework and ensures safety of cables • Civil readiness check (flooring, fireproofing, foundations) – Guarantees safe and reliable installation environment • Lifting & shifting methodology (cranes, access ways, reinforcement) – Prevents damage to equipment during shifting • Review & update Single Line Diagram (SLD) – Keeps electrical documentation updated

10. Safety & Risk Management • Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA/JSA) – Identifies hazards and minimizes risks • Temporary barriers and safety signage during work – Prevents accidents at worksite • Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures for disconnection – Ensures safe shutdown & disconnection • PPE compliance for all workers – Protects workers from electrical hazards • Arc flash evaluation and panel labeling – Improves personnel and asset safety

11. UPS & Battery Bank • Battery relocation precautions & manufacturer compliance – Prevents damage and ensures safety of batteries • Battery health check (impedance, float voltage) – Extends battery life and ensures reliability • Battery room ventilation adequacy – Prevents hydrogen accumulation and hazards • Spare battery readiness during shifting – Provides backup if failures occur during shift
