Haz Mission Critical have provided project management services for STACK and delivered numerous Data Centre’s over a number of years for us. They have been a fundamental part of our projects success and have always been highly professional and reliable in all aspects of delivery.
We have engaged Haz Mission Critical as our project management partner to assist us in delivering a number of DC deliveries in Europe. They have gone beyond expectations with a high-quality delivery team managing all aspects of the project including design, OFCI, delivery, quality and commissioning. As an example of their pro-active approach, mid-way through one project the general contractor went into administration and the Haz team immediately stepped up and ensured the right team were in place to mitigate the risk and minimise the impact on the project, being a fundamental part of ensuring there was no schedule slippage.
Haz brings a unique combination of serious Mission Critical knowledge and skill in project management which combined yield a major influence to a successful project. Nova has benefited from the Haz staff members in the delivery of data centre space under budget and ahead of programme…
We engaged Haz to take us through the DC journey on which we were about to take. They provided the expertise, project management and confidence to us and it was a very relaxed experience. We will be using HMC on an ongoing basis as we further our DC strategy elsewhere in the UK
HazMC project-managed a recent £Ms data centre installation at Loughborough University, co-ordinating skilfully between local IT, mechanical, electrical and facilities staff, and our IT, mechanical, and electrical suppliers. Professional throughout, and with fine attention to detail, Haz staff also showed when needed that they had the necessary ‘clout’ with large suppliers to ensure delivery for the University. Our data centre project was a success, on time and on budget. I slept well throughout. Haz played a full role and gave excellent value for money for their own input.
