Data Centre Forensic Report
A lead forensic report for losses in data centres and critical rooms — server, comms, UPS and battery rooms. One coordinated cause analysis, with signed specialist reports, built from the building system record.
When this report is used
Losses in data centres and critical rooms involve multiple building systems — electrical, mechanical, fire suppression, cooling and UPS — each with its own data log. Determining cause requires a forensic building consultant to lead the investigation, preserve the evidence, and coordinate signed specialist reports into a single, defensible cause analysis.
Loss types covered
Escape of water
Pipe failure, condensate overflow, roof or façade ingress, fire suppression discharge.
Fire and smoke
Electrical fire, UPS or battery fire, smoke from adjacent spaces.
Electrical fault
Switchboard failure, power surge, earthing fault, arc flash.
Cooling failure
CRAC or CRAH unit failure, chiller fault, airflow blockage causing thermal event.
What Meridian delivers
Not included: Policy response, coverage determination, or liability advice — those remain with you.
