Technical project management for data centers

Atlas helps deliver technically controlled projects with operations in mind.

Discuss a Project

Typical scope

What Atlas can cover, in full or in part, depending on your programme.

  1. 01Technical project management
  2. 02Project coordination
  3. 03Contractor and vendor management
  4. 04Design and technical reviews
  5. 05Engineering and technical oversight
  6. 06Programme support
  7. 07Construction monitoring
  8. 08Installation quality oversight
  9. 09QA/QC
  10. 10Risk and issue management
  11. 11Documentation review
  12. 12Handover preparation
  13. 13Operational readiness
  14. 14Interface management

In a critical project, problems often sit between work packages rather than inside one.

Atlas helps keep a project’s technical interfaces from becoming operational problems.

Interface map

Where critical projects lose control

Interface matrix between the six project parties; the five interfaces tracked by Atlas are numbered 1 to 5.

  1. Design ↔ Contractors

    Not every design assumption is carried onto the construction site.

    Atlas : review of operability and assumptions, technical decisions traced.

  2. Contractors ↔ Vendors

    Scope boundaries stay vague and deviations surface at delivery.

    Atlas : boundaries clarified, milestones and documentation tracked, deviations assigned.

  3. Vendors ↔ Commissioning

    Testing starts with incomplete documentation or configuration.

    Atlas : test prerequisites verified, test schedule built into the master schedule.

  4. Commissioning ↔ Handover

    Defects are recorded, then passed forward instead of closed.

    Atlas : defects assigned, retested and closed; residual risks made explicit.

  5. Handover ↔ Operations

    Operations takes over without knowing the limitations and the snags.

    Atlas : file, operating limitations and training prepared before takeover.

Atlas works within your existing governance: project team, design team, contractors. It strengthens technical control; it does not replace it.

Control logic

An interface is only tracked if it is followed through to closure

  1. 01 · Identify

    Spot the interface gap.

  2. 02 · Assign

    An owner, a due date.

  3. 03 · Decide

    A technical decision, traced.

  4. 04 · Track

    Dependencies and risks kept current.

  5. 05 · Close

    A closure criterion, verified.

What Atlas brings

Four ways to keep technical control

  • Spot interface gaps

    Who delivers what to whom, with what information, before which date?

  • Clarify ownership

    A technical point without an owner is not followed.

  • Challenge assumptions

    Design, test sequence, maintainability: today’s unverified assumptions are tomorrow’s defects.

  • Keep operational requirements alive

    The operator’s needs stay visible from design through to handover.

Typical situations

How Atlas can support you

  1. 01Building or extending a data center, with a project team to reinforce.
  2. 02A project under way where interfaces between packages and vendors are drifting.
  3. 03A handover to prepare without losing the operator’s requirements.
  4. 04An owner who wants an independent technical view of progress.

Entry engagement

Project reinforcement

When the scope is clear, we reinforce your project team or take over part of the technical steering, on a scope defined together.

Request this engagement

What you get

  • Documented, traceable technical steering
  • Risk, issue and interface register
  • Traced technical decisions
  • Design and documentation reviews
  • A usable handover file

To get started: The existing schedule, the owner’s requirements, the list of stakeholders and interfaces.

Project management questions

Do you work alongside our project team and design supervision?

Yes. Atlas can reinforce your team or take over part of the technical steering. The scope is defined per engagement.

When should we involve you?

From design: reviewing operability and interfaces has the most value before construction freezes decisions. We can also reinforce a project already under way.

Do you also steer commissioning?

Atlas can build commissioning into the overall schedule and steer or reinforce it (see the Commissioning page). The scope is defined per engagement.
