Energy Audit

An energy audit is a systematic analysis of energy use and energy consumption within a defined energy audit scope, to identify, quantify and report on the opportunities for improved energy performance. Audits are conducted by professional auditors who excel in their relevant field. We have specialized Electrical, HVAC, Pneumatic system auditors.

Food Safety Audit

A food safety audit is a systematic, independent, and documented activity in which objective evidence is gathered and assessed to determine if a food safety system is appropriate and effective. Food safety audits also provide evidence that food is manufactured in a safe environment and help determine if hazards are properly identified and controlled or eliminated. We have auditors who excel in HACCP and have sound knowledge about ISO 22000.

Safety Audit

General Safety Audit

The general safety Audit encompasses all aspects of safety, the Safety management system, electrical safety, Fire safety, Mechanical safety, maintenance, Physical, Chemical & construction safety. The Audit is carried out as per IS 14489:1998 on code of Practice on occupational safety and Health Audit, to check the compliance with the Factories act 1948 and the rules for respective states, the environmental protection Act & Rules, the CEA regulations, the explosives Act & Rules and other relevant Indian statutory requirements and standards.

Fire Safety Audit

Fire safety audit is an effective tool for assessing fire safety status in offices, industrial buildings, etc. The audit helps to identify the areas for improvement in fire safety measures in fire prevention, protection, and mitigation system in case of fire. The audit provides an action plan which is useful for fire prevention and mitigation and emergency preparedness. Fire safety audit is done to check confirmations w.r.t. The Factories Act, The petroleum act, the CEA regulation and the National Building code of India and other relevant national and international safety codes.

Electrical Safety Audit

Electrical Safety Audit is conducted to investigate if complaints and concerns by workers regarding electrical safety are substantiated and if there are other electrical safety or general safety hazards at the facility that should be addressed. The audit focuses on current electrical safety conditions and other prescribed safety measures for the facility. Electrical audit is conducted as per the CEA regulation and related standards.

Construction Safety Audit

As part of identifying health and safety standards on the construction site, it is important to continually monitor measures, review, and document the health and safety issues. A safety audit collates all such information, thus enabling the project supervisors to plan, organize and control existing and upcoming site work in a safe and efficient manner. Construction safety audits are as per the BOCW Act and Rules, NBC, 2011, the electricity act & the Indian Electricity rules and other relevant standards.

Facility Comprehensive Pest Control Audit:

We conduct a thorough audit of the building premises, with a structured and probing approach.

■ External Areas – Open Areas Surrounding the Structure

■ Building Façade – Gaps in the Facade

■ Floor to Floor – (Inter Floor)

■ Internal Floor Area Zone Separation (Intra Floor)

■ Plenum Zone Separation (Below False Floor and Above False Ceiling)

■ Washrooms (Zonal / Air / Fire Segregation)

■ Dry Pantry / Cafeterias / Eateries (Zonal / Air / Fire Segregation)

■ Data Center Zones Rigidity

■ Material and Personnel Lift Tubes

■ Terrace Area

■ Basement

■ Shafts

■ Service Ducts

■ Sewer Trenches

■ Fiber Optic Trenches

■ Power Cable Trenches

■ WTP

■ STP

And identify pest breeding, propulsion points, their regular travel paths and identify the reasons for their attraction and attachment, And with regards to the building structure we check all the entry and exit points, shafts, service ducts, sub floor trenches and identify gaps if any through which birds, rodents, snakes, ants and flies can enter inside the building, and between floor to floor we check the rigidity of the smoke seal and cable tray entry and exits paths and relevant rodent containment measures from one zone to the another we check proper closure of the gaps using a special rodent control seals and its confirmation to the standards.

And after conducting a thorough pest vulnerability study of the entire premises we submit our report with recommendations for improvement and carry out the same if desired by the client.

Pest Control Audit - colo techxpert solutions

Environmental sampling and reporting:
(IAQ and Particulate matter)

Energy Audit, Food Safety Audit, General Safety Audit, Fire Safety Audit

To verify and ensure a clean and healthy environment inside the IT infrastructure rooms, we need to periodically evaluate and certify ourselves against prescribed international standards, assuring our internal and external stakeholders of best-in-class IT infrastructure rooms availability irrespective of environment outside.

Air particle testing and reporting:

It will be done as per the standards mentioned below:

ISO/DIS 14644-1.2(2014): Classification of air cleanliness by particle concentration.
ISO 14644-2: Specifications for testing and monitoring to prove continued compliance with ISO 14644-1.
ISO/DIS 14644-2.2(2014): Monitoring to provide evidence of cleanroom performance related to air cleanliness by particle concentration.

Testing method as per - ISO 14644-3:2005(E)

Methodology

The use of light scattering (discrete) airborne particle counters (LSAPC) to determine the concentration of airborne particles, equal to and greater than the specified sizes ranging from 0,1 µm to five µm, at designated sampling locations. Along with a comprehensive report which shows where the highest and lowest particle levels are in each room.

Report

It will consist of the following:

■ Indoor air particle room sampling map

■ Indoor air particle testing report.

■ Most recent calibration certificate of the testing apparatus and its validity.

■ Line graph

Re-testing

If the test results are not satisfactory, retesting must be conducted with in next seven working days at the same location.

Compliances

Visting technicians will comply with all Security, EHS, Confidentiality, PPE guidelines of the organization.

Recommended periodic testing frequency

6 monthly (i.e., Twice a year).

Environmental sampling and reporting - Colo Techxpert Solutions

Key Parameters	Competition	COLO TechXpert	How are we better
Cleaning approach	Piece meal type – Only interested in the cleaning of that specific area	Holistic type – with environmental dust management as a key driving force behind the endeavour.	We will advise and suggest ways to Deter, Detect, Deny, Delay, and Defend the Critical environment from environmental dust accumulation and related hazards.
Method of Execution	More manpower intensive cleaning	More mechanized cleaning; optimized use of tools, tackles, and consumables.	Multi-fold increase in cleaning efficiency. Consistent cleaning output with excellent results due to optimized RPM, suction power, and UV light intensity.
Execution time	Remarkably high due to dependency on physical labor	Usage of ergonomic tools, tackles, and a strict sequential cleaning process avoids duplicate actions.	Results in a 250% quicker turnaround time for the given work area.
HSE	Lack of awareness about safe practices to follow.
