Key Challenge

The work demanded disciplined execution in environments where access, downtime, safety and sequencing all had to be carefully controlled.

Each client also presented a different set of conditions, so every assessment had to be tailored to its own requirements.

Our Approach

Thinker Engineering applied in-house specialists familiar with the specific demands of RMiT. A comprehensive reporting template gave each client a clear and detailed understanding of their assessment findings.

Outcome

100% — Report compliance with the latest RMiT standards
100% — Compliance with TIA-942 data center best practice
