[ How we work ]

Six phases.
Named deliverables
at every one.

You should know what lands on your desk at the end of each phase before you sign anything. Here is the sequence, and what comes out of it.

01

Discovery

Understand the site before proposing anything for it.

Site survey, utility position, structural and envelope constraints, water and climate, workload profile, tenant and SLA obligations, permitting authority. We write down what we do not yet know as explicitly as what we do.

You receive
  • [✓]Site condition report
  • [✓]Constraint register
  • [✓]Open-questions log
02

Load model

Every downstream number scales from this one.

IT load, rack density and count, PUE target by cooling approach, facility load, heat rejection, redundancy factor, utility service requirement, and battery energy. Each figure carries its worst-case assumption in writing.

You receive
  • [✓]Power and thermal load model
  • [✓]Redundancy basis of design
  • [✓]Utility service requirement
03

Single-line and layout

Where everything physically goes, and how power reaches it.

Electrical single-line from service entrance to rack PDU, cooling loop schematic, white-space and support-space layout, battery and switchgear siting, cable and pipe routing, service access and clearances.

You receive
  • [✓]Electrical single-line
  • [✓]Mechanical schematic
  • [✓]Floor and site layout
04

Redundancy and FMEA

Assume every part fails, then see what survives.

Component-level failure mode and effects analysis: how each part fails, what happens when it does, how likely, how detectable, how severe. Single points of failure get designed out or explicitly accepted in writing, never discovered later.

You receive
  • [✓]FMEA workbook
  • [✓]Single-point-of-failure register
  • [✓]Independent design review
05

Procurement

The schedule is set by whatever has the longest lead time.

Specification and sourcing of transformers, switchgear, UPS and battery systems, CDUs and cooling plant, racks and PDUs. Vendor evaluation against the specification rather than against the sales deck, plus lead-time tracking against the critical path.

You receive
  • [✓]Bill of materials
  • [✓]Vendor evaluation matrix
  • [✓]Long-lead schedule
06

Build and commissioning

Nothing is proven until it is measured under load.

Trade coordination, integration, and a commissioning sequence that tests the failure modes rather than assuming them: transfer events, thermal performance at design load, alarm and monitoring verification. Measured results, not design intent.

You receive
  • [✓]Commissioning scripts and results
  • [✓]As-built documentation
  • [✓]Operations handover pack
SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY. SmartTec models redundancy, thermal and power budgets, and reliability architecture, and organizes the evidence behind those models. It does not replace licensed professional engineering sign-off or code compliance review. The stamp belongs to a PE of record, and construction proceeds on stamped drawings — never on a planning model.

Phase one starts with a questionnaire.

Three minutes, and you get the first cut of the load model back immediately.
