The team behind the controls

The engineering depth a mission-critical environment requires

A mission-critical cooling plant is a controls problem as much as a mechanical one. Kolostat's engineering, controls, and energy teams operate inside the same delivery org — so the people who design the redundancy, commission the BMS, and respond to a 3 a.m. alert are working from the same documentation.

  • Real-time monitoring on Automated Logic / WebCTRL® — Kolostat is an authorized partner
  • Precise control, automated alerts, and continuous performance optimization
  • Digital-twin integration where the operations cadence justifies it
  • Multidisciplinary team — engineers, control technicians, project managers, service pros
Controls and BMS optimization

Why operators choose Kolostat for mission-critical

The four levers our clients actually invest in

Operations directors, facilities VPs, and colocation ops teams shortlist on these four. Each is a sourced claim — no marketing varnish.

  • Speed without engineering shortcuts

    Integrated design-build collapses engineering, fabrication, install, and commissioning into one accountable timeline — so retrofits land inside the operations window your business can absorb.

  • Redundancy, validated by transparent audits

    N+1 / 2N redundant cooling and controls designed to protect operations 24/7 — with transparent audits behind the redundancy claim, not marketing language.

  • Around 30% energy savings on critical cooling

    Annual energy savings of roughly 30% on critical cooling systems on past mandates — validated by transparent audits and delivered without compromising uptime.

  • Specialized on-call coverage, 24/7

    A dedicated dispatch line, proactive support, and complete service management — for clients whose downtime cost is measured in minutes, not hours.

No-downtime methodology

How we keep your environment online during a retrofit

Working in a live mission-critical environment is a sequencing problem. The methodology below is how we plan the work so the live side is never the side being touched.

  1. Discovery against your runbook

    Site walk with a senior engineer against your existing runbook — measured against the cooling architecture, maintenance windows, and uptime SLAs you actually operate to.

  2. Redundant-side-first sequencing

    Work staged so the redundant side absorbs load first. Cutovers scheduled in coordination with your operations team — so the live side is never the side being touched.

  3. Live-environment execution

    The same discipline our crews apply to occupied office and multi-residential buildings — temporary services, off-hours invasive work, communication discipline — applied to live mission-critical environments.

  4. Commissioning with monitored handover

    Load testing, controls commissioning, and a monitored handover on Automated Logic / WebCTRL® — with proactive alerts wired into your ops cadence before the project closes.

Operations-director FAQ

What our clients ask before signing on

  • How do you handle a no-downtime cooling retrofit on a live data center?

    We sequence the work so the redundant side absorbs load first, schedule cutovers in coordination with your operations team, and apply the same live-environment discipline our crews use in occupied office and multi-residential buildings — temporary services, off-hours invasive work, communication discipline. The work plan is built around your maintenance window, not ours.

  • What level of redundancy do you design to?

    We design redundant chilled-water and controls topologies that match the availability SLA the operations team has actually committed to — typically N+1 or 2N for chilled water, distribution, and controls. The redundancy claim is validated by transparent audits, not marketing language.

  • Do you handle laboratory and cleanroom mechanical scope?

    Yes. Pressurization, humidity, and particle control for cleanrooms and laboratories is a core mission-critical scope — the same precision-air-conditioning and ultra-precise air-quality engineering we deliver for data centers, applied to research, biotech, and high-tech production environments.

  • How much energy can we realistically save on critical cooling?

    On past mandates we have delivered annual energy savings of roughly 30% on critical cooling systems, without compromising uptime. The number is validated by transparent audits — we instrument the plant during commissioning and measure savings against baseline, so the figure your operations team reports is sourced from the site, not from an estimate.

  • Do you have 24/7 dispatch for cooling failures on a data center?

    Yes. One dispatch number — 514-333-7333, option 1 — backed by a fleet of 25+ service trucks across Greater Montréal and the GTA, plus specialized on-call coverage for mission-critical clients. Data centers are a core sector for our preventive-maintenance contracts and 24/7 emergency dispatch.

  • What monitoring and controls platform do you commission on?

    Real-time monitoring on Automated Logic / WebCTRL® — Kolostat is an authorized ALC / WebCTRL® partner. We commission dashboards, proactive alerts, and continuous performance optimization, with digital-twin integration where the operations cadence justifies it. The platform is technology-neutral on the equipment side and integrates with non-ALC plant.
