Recognised by the Financial Times as one of Europe's top 500 fastest-growing companies for three years running, Global Commissioning is the leading authority in data centre commissioning, delivering independent certification and verification that critical infrastructure performs as designed across EMEA and beyond.
Our work goes beyond coordination or process oversight. Commissioning, at its core, is the point where systems are tested under real operating conditions, verified against design intent, and certified ready for operation. That is what we exist to deliver.
Through Commissioning Management (CxM), Commissioning Agent (CxA) services, Commissioning Project Management (CxPM), and Modular Certification, our experienced teams provide the assurance layer between construction and operation. From detailed design review to integrated systems testing and evidence-based reporting, we ensure data centres are not just complete, but proven to perform.
Clients rely on Global Commissioning to reduce risk at handover, protect uptime, and provide clear, defensible proof that every component of their facility is optimised for safe, efficient, and continuous operation.
Services: Commissioning Management / Agents (CxM/CxA), Commissioning Project Management (CxPM), Modular Certification.
We also work across HV and LV SAP/AP and Energy Marshalling, electrical testing, renewable energy, and hazardous areas.
