Operations & Maintenance Manuals

Operations and Maintenance Manuals are the cornerstone of a high-performance operations team. They’re comprehensive documents that provide all of the necessary details regarding the building systems and assets contained in those systems, within the Client’s datacenters and mission-critical infrastructure.

Given the ever-growing scope of information management and its application in leveraging data for increased value to Design, Construction, Commissioning and Owner teams, it’s imperative to identify and more importantly, improve on data collection for operations and maintenance manuals. During a hyperscale datacenter build, the sheer amount of information produced can be staggering and finding effective ways to manage the data into handover - especially when modern hyperscale datacenter handover packages often consist of up to 50,000 documents or more - can be a challenge.

Coordinating and staggering this information across a project takes a knowledge of the phasing for a hyperscale datacenter and ancillary buildings, such as substations and utility buildings, a deep understanding of the information lifecycle the integration of quality and project management best practices at the right times to ensure an optimal outcome.

A typical O&M will include a wealth of information, typically based on systems within the building being operated, such as:

System Description

Design and construction intent of the system itself and the principles behind the operation of the system and the components contained therein.

Specification

Client specifications and requirements detailing the specific system information that supports the overall product needs.

Drawing, Models and graphical data

References and embedded information pertaining to the outputs from the Design and Construction teams at the specified level of detail by from the Client's information requirements.

Sequence of Operations

Information pertaining to safe start up, systems operation within normal procedures and failsafe procedures and plant.


At Nodehex, we can author, maintain and implement a variety of solutions to ensure that handover, operations and beyond, the information to operate the systems within your project can be done both safely and efficiently. Whether this is a full authoring and coordination of information across a project, consolidating and updating existing manuals or bespoke solutions for your needs, we can help.
