Post-Construction Final Clean: Technology MDF/IDF Areas - Prima at Paseo South Gulch
This document outlines a comprehensive post-construction final clean plan specifically designed for the critical Technology MDF (Main Distribution Frame) and IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) rooms at Prima at Paseo South Gulch, Nashville's premier residential tower. A meticulous cleaning process is essential to ensure optimal performance, longevity, and a functional handover of these technology hubs.
Cleaning Phases:
Initial Cleanup:
Debris Removal: Begin by removing all construction debris, packaging materials, and dust from the MDF and IDF rooms.
Vacuuming and Sweeping: Thoroughly vacuum floors, focusing on corners and edges. Sweep any remaining dust.
Surface Cleaning: Wipe down all surfaces, including walls, cabinets, and equipment racks, using a damp cloth to eliminate dust and grime.
Cable Inspection: Inspect data cables, power cords, and conduits for damage or loose connections.
Detailed Cleaning:
Equipment Dusting: Carefully dust all technology equipment, including servers, switches, routers, and patch panels.
Cabinet and Rack Maintenance: Wipe down server cabinets and equipment racks. Ensure proper cable management for improved airflow and organization.
Cable Labeling Verification: Confirm that all cables are correctly labeled for easy identification during future maintenance.
Power Outlet Testing: Test power outlets to verify functionality and proper grounding.
Final Touches:
