Data centers are mission critical facilities that run operations with profound significance. They are prevalent in industries including healthcare, telecommunications and information technology. BFSI, government and public sector, energy, and many more. Businesses and infrastructure rely on these data centers to store sensitive data and support mission critical applications.
The continuous operation of these facilities in these industries is critical and unplanned downtime is costly. Therefore, there is a need to protect these data centers. Polymeric technology can offer solutions to these facilities and allow them to continue their critical operation across various industries.
Belzona has been showing success and reliability in the repair, maintenance and safety of the data center facilities.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Weathering and/or physical damage to roofs and roof parts: joints, seams, edges, glazing sections, gutters, flshings, skylights, parapet walls and copings, pipes and pipe supports. The damage is typically caused by weather and freeze-thaw cycles, failure of roof materials, substrate movement or impact.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 3000 Series fluid-grade membranes for weatherproofing, waterproofing, repair and protection of all roof types and roof parts.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For walls, typical problem areas include: deterioration of concrete and stonework, construction joint failure due to erosion, corrosion, chemical attack, physical impact, and structural movement.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 2000, 4000 and 5000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials can provide: waterproofing, concrete and stonework rebuilding and protection of the external and internal walls. They can also be used for the repair, replacement and installation of construction joints.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Damage of concrete floors due to heavy racking and equipment in server rooms, aged flooring, weather/temperature fluctuation, physical impact, slippery flooring areas, expansion joint failure, uneven threshold transit areas.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1000, 2000, 4000, and 5000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials can be used for: installation of heavy-duty concrete flooring in server rooms and non-skid, slip-resistant flooring throughout the facility, safety markings, expansion joints repairs, sealing floor drains, repairing threshold transition areas.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Erosion-corrosion damage to components of HVAC systems.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1000 and 2000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials for metal rebuilding and erosion-corrosion protection of air handlers, diesel engines, fans, pumps, condensers, generators, compressors, cooling fans, cooling pans, chiller tubesheets, leaks and drains sealing.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Erosion-corrosion and chemical attack related to the use of water filtration chemicals: chlorine, charcoal, water softeners on pipes, pipework, pumps, filtration systems and storage tanks.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials for metal rebuild and corrosion protection of the pipes, pipework and storage tanks. Belzona 5000 Series fluid-grade materials for chemical resistance in chemical containment areas and corrosion protection of (non) potable water storage tanks and pipes.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For power generation, the main problem is corrosion related to elevated pressure and temperature on boilers, steam turbines, heat exchagers, and pipework.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1000 and 5000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials for metal rebuild and erosion-corrosion protection on solar panels, transformers, generators. Belzona 6111 fluid-grade material for the cathodic protection on solar panels supports and other metallic structures.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For curbside appeal areas, typical problems include concrete damage due to weather fluctuations, freeze-thaw cycles and physical impact.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 4000 and 5000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials for the concrete restoration and protection on decorative structures and bases (fountains, waterfalls and monuments) concrete levelling, floor protection and slip-resistance on pedestrian walkways and at the base and around stop bollards and other safety structures.
Belzona materials offer a range of solutions for data center facilities and their operations.
