ASSET INTEGRITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE IN DATA CENTERS
Data centers are essential facilities that support critical operations across industries such as healthcare, telecommunications, BFSI, government, and energy. Businesses rely on these centers to store sensitive data and power vital applications. The continuous operation of these facilities is crucial, as any unplanned downtime can lead to significant financial loss and operational disruptions.
Given the high stakes, protecting data centers is vital to ensuring uninterrupted performance. Robust preventive measures and advanced solutions are necessary to safeguard these mission-critical environments, minimizing downtime and maintaining smooth, reliable operations.
Roofs
TYPICAL PROBLEMS: Weathering and/or physical damage to roofs and roof parts: joints, seams, edges, glazing sections, gutters, flashings, skylights, parapet walls and copings, pipes and pipe supports. The damage is typically caused by weather and freeze-thaw cycles, failure of roof materials, substrate movement or impact.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS: Belzona 3000 series fluid-grade membranes for weatherproofing, waterproofing, repair and protection of all roof types and roof parts.

Walls
TYPICAL PROBLEMS: Deterioration of concrete and stonework, and construction joints failure due to erosion, corrosion, chemical attack, physical impact, and structural movement.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS: Belzona 2000, 4000 and 5000 series paste and fluid grade materials for waterproofing, concrete and stonework rebuilding and protection of the external and internal walls, and for the repair, replacement or installation of construction joints.
Floors
TYPICAL PROBLEMS: Damage of concrete floors due to heavy racking and equipment in server rooms, aged flooring, weather/ temperature fluctuations, physical impact, slippery flooring areas, expansion joints failure, uneven threshold transit areas.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS: Belzona 1000, 2000, 4000, and 5000 series paste- and fluid-grade materials for installation of heavy-duty concrete flooring in server rooms and non-skid, slip-resistant flooring throughout the facility, safety markings, expansion joints repairs, sealing floor drains, repairing threshold transition areas.
HVAC/Cooling
TYPICAL PROBLEMS: Erosion-corrosion damage to components of HVAC units.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS: Belzona 1000 and 2000 series pasteand fluid-grade materials for metal rebuilding and erosioncorrosion protection of air handlers, diesel engines, fans, pumps, condensers, generators, compressors, cooling fans, cooling pans, chiller tubesheets, leaks and drains sealing.
Plumbing and pipework
TYPICAL PROBLEMS: Erosion-corrosion and chemical attack related to the use of water filtration chemicals: chlorine, charcoal, water softeners on pipes, pipework, pumps, filtration systems and storage tanks.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS: Belzona 1000 series paste- and fluidgrade materials for metal rebuild and corrosion protection of the pipes, pipework and storage tanks. Belzona 5000 series fluid grade materials for the chemical resistance in chemical containment areas and corrosion protection of (non) potable water storage tanks and pipes.
Power generation
TYPICAL PROBLEMS: Mostly corrosion problems related to elevated pressure and temperature on boilers, steam turbines, heat exchangers, and pipework.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS: Belzona 1000 and 5000 series pasteand fluid-grade materials for metal rebuild and erosion-corrosion protection on solar panels, transformers, generators. Belzona 6111 fluid-grade material for the cathodic protection on solar panels supports and other metallic structures.
