Particulate (Dust) Contamination within Data Centres, Server Rooms, Comms Rooms and other critical environments comes from many sources. Sub micron dust contamination within these rooms can cause many problems and is often referred to as the undetected disaster. within your critical environment. A big source of damaging dust contamination is from refurbishment or improvement work carried out.

Control Contamination has developed a process for protecting IT Equipment, from the dust caused by these refurbishment processes. Utilising proven technology borrowed from the Asbestos removal industry. We have developed a way of enclosing either the work area or the IT Equipment. Creating a positive or negative pressurised environment, which effectively protects the IT Equipment from migrating sub micron particles.

Control Contamination will stop contamination moving from its source to other areas. We will enclose the work area. Then using HEPA filtered (0.3um) air scrubbers we will create a negative pressure. This ensures the dust remains in the work area.

Example within a school to stop dust moving from a wall being knocked down to the classroom insuring the dust stays in the construction area. Therefore not covering books desks etc.

We will also clean the area up after the construction to ensure all dust is removed.

We are able to offer Airborne Particulate Monitoring as a one off or a regulare service.

Using a state of the art particulate counter we are able to determine the threat to your critical environment.

We use ISO14664 Class 8 as our bench mark for computer rooms. Most computer rooms are not built within the specification for cleanrooms. However, we have found that Class 8 is very much achievable within a standard Computer Room or Data Centre.

Prior to and after any work we undertake we will survey the room. We will give you a report which will include the results of any survey in graphical form. This service is offered through our service partner IT Cleaning Ltd. See http://www.itcleaning.co.uk/service_detail.php?service_id=8

Control Contamination, through IT Cleaning Ltd, can supply ITDecom tiles, which actively remove particulate (dust) from feet, wheels and anything else that comes into contact with the surface. Utilising Van De- Waals force the dust is attracted to the surface and then held there.

These tiles are not sticky, big enough for a person to take 3 or 4 steps on, do not require any peeling and are unavoidable. ITDecom tiles are made to the same specification as your existing tiles. ITDecom tiles are the most effective way of controlling egress of all forms of footborne and wheelborne contamination into your server room etc.

We recommends ITDecom Mats be used in Server Rooms Communication Rooms and any other critical IT environment entrances that are subject to pedestrian and wheeled traffic. Once these rooms are clean ITDecom tiles should be fitted inside the door to reduce the amount of footborne contamination that can re-enter the room. ITDecom tiles are cost effective when viewed against other types of contamination control mats and are guaranteed for 2 years. However with good maintenance they have an life-expectancy of 4 years. They are also more user friendly than other contamination control mats. A person can walk normally over this mat and it will do the job of removing the particulate (Dust). Other mats require you to place both feet on them before walking off.

Other benefits include electrical resistivity of 10-8 Ohms, which is anti-static. This means that they will remove static from anything which comes into contact with the surface.
