Services

Specialist commissioning across the full lifecycle.

Commissioning, project management, and mission-critical delivery for hyperscale and colocation infrastructure.

Capabilities

What we do.

Commissioning Authority (CxA)

Independent commissioning leadership from L0 to L6. Acting as the client's technical authority, we verify that what is designed, built, and commissioned will perform as intended. Independence is structural. The commissioning opinion is our only output.

Commissioning Management (CxM)

Day-to-day commissioning programme management on behalf of the developer or asset owner. Test scripting, witness scheduling, contractor coordination, issue tracking, and progress reporting against the commissioning milestone plan.

Project & programme management

Programme leadership for commissioning-led delivery. Schedule control, stakeholder coordination, risk register ownership, and integration with the wider project management structure.

BMS & EPMS commissioning oversight

Specialist oversight of building management and electrical power monitoring system commissioning. Point-to-point verification, sequence-of-operations testing, alarm and trend validation, and integration testing across third-party equipment. A common source of late-stage IST failure when not handled with technical rigour.

HV & MV substation commissioning

Programme management and coordination of high and medium voltage substation commissioning. We bring the technical knowledge to plan, sequence, and verify works delivered by specialist vendors, ensuring substation commissioning aligns with the wider programme.

Mechanical & electrical commissioning

Witnessing, scripting, and verification of mechanical and electrical commissioning works to recognised industry standards. Engagements typically cover critical power infrastructure, standby and emergency systems, cooling plant, and the supporting mechanical services that enable continuous operation.

Integrated Systems Testing (IST)

Full-system performance testing under simulated and real load, integrating power, cooling, controls, and life-safety systems. The most demanding stage of a data centre commissioning programme, and the stage where Finalign's founders have delivered hyperscale outcomes ahead of schedule.

Engagement shapes

Scope, shaped to the project.

Finalign engages at the scope the project requires, not at the scope of a fixed product.

Full lifecycle (L0 → L6)

End-to-end commissioning oversight from design review through turnover.

Cx-only engagement

Independent CxA or CxM scope without project management overlap.

Stage-specific support

Targeted scope at the highest-risk stages, typically functional testing, IST, and turnover.

Specialist engineering

Deep technical scope on BMS/EPMS, mechanical and electrical, and complex controls.

Sectors

Finalign's primary focus is hyperscale and colocation data centre infrastructure. We extend the same discipline to adjacent mission-critical sectors such as life sciences, energy infrastructure, and industrial facilities, where commissioning rigour determines operational outcomes. Where a project sits outside our specialism, we say so.
