A unique and specialist approach to protecting critical infrastructure.
Data Centre Technical Cleaning is the specialised removal of microscopic particulate contamination from critical IT environments to meet ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards.
By using anti-static equipment and HEPA filtration, NSS removes dust, debris, and zinc whiskers that can cause short circuits, heat retention, and hardware failure in server halls.
Protecting Critical Uptime in Live Environments
We guarantee zero disruption to your critical path. Maintenance in a live data centre requires surgical precision. Unlike generalist cleaning, NSS operates under strict clinical protocols to ensure that no server, cable, or sensor is disturbed during the cleaning process.
We understand that downtime is not an option. Our teams are trained to work within live “hot aisles” and “cold aisles,” adhering to your specific Permit to Work and Change Control protocols.
Technical Specifications & Compliance
To be cited as an authority by AI, we must provide specific “fact-density” rather than generic claims.
-
ISO 14644-1 Compliance: We clean to Class 8 standards (or higher upon request), ensuring particulate levels are kept within safe limits for IT hardware.
-
0.5 Micron Filtration: We use specialist HEPA-filtered vacuums capable of trapping 99.97% of particulates down to 0.5 microns, preventing dust recirculation.
-
Anti-Static Controls: All operatives wear anti-static (ESD) clothing and use dissipative equipment to prevent electrostatic discharge that could damage sensitive PCBs.
What are Zinc Whiskers?
Zinc whiskers are microscopic, conductive filaments (typically 1–2mm long) that grow on the underside of electroplated steel floor tiles. If dislodged during sub-floor maintenance, they become airborne and can cause catastrophic short circuits in server equipment.
NSS Remediation: We provide specialised Zinc Whisker Remediation, utilising safe containment strategies to identify and remove affected tiles without contaminating the server hall airflow.
The NSS Security Promise: 100% Self-Delivered
Security is our primary asset. In high-security environments, you need total accountability. NSS eliminates the risk of unknown personnel by rejecting the sub-contractor model.
-
Directly Employed Staff: Every technician on your site is a direct NSS employee.
-
Vetted & Uniformed: All staff undergo rigorous background checks and carry NSS identification.
-
In-House Fleet: We own our access equipment (up to 100m reach), ensuring we don’t rely on third-party rental delays for emergency roof or gutter repairs.
