Capture every pressure test the moment the gauge reads it. Coordinate with project teams in real time. Walk into commissioning with the records already done.
In a normal building, a leak is a fix. In a direct-to-chip cooling loop sitting over a row of AI GPUs, a leak can destroy six million dollars of hardware that’s on back-order. So “good enough” isn’t good enough anymore. Every connection has to be right the first time.
And the way most teams document this work hasn’t changed. Pressure tests still get written down by hand. Photos of gauges. Spreadsheets typed up at the end of the week. Commissioning shows up asking for records, your team spends two weeks pulling them together, and one failed test turns into a schedule slip you can’t recover from.
Cumulus captures the test the moment the gauge reads it.

Pressure test records that won't hold up
Hand-filled logs. Photos of gauges. Spreadsheets put together at the end of the week. When the commissioning agent asks for the record on a specific connection, the search starts in someone's email.
Liquid cooling leaves no room for error
In a direct-to-chip cooling system running over a row of GPU racks, one leak isn't a rework problem. It's a hardware replacement problem, on hardware you can't replace quickly. Every connection has to be right the first time.
No real-time view of what your trade partners doing
Your work and your trade partners work run in parallel the whole project. When they slip, you slip. But you find out at the Monday meeting, not while it's happening. Most jobs still don't have a way to see both trades in real time.
New hires slowing down the crew
Skilled labor is hard to find. Your senior pipefitters spend their day training instead of installing. And the quality bar drops on shifts they don't run.
A two-week paperwork scramble before turnover
Records that should already be done get pulled together from binders, photos, and memory. The owner is watching the date. Your team is digging through old files.
Your team isn’t the problem. Your foremen know the work. The installations are right. What’s broken is everything that happens after the test passes. Someone writes the number on a sheet. Someone else types it into a spreadsheet. By the time it gets into the closeout package, the connection is already covered up, the foreman is on another job, and the record has been through three sets of hands.
Cumulus takes the test value straight from the gauge the moment the test is done. The same way it takes torque values straight from the wrench. The crew runs the test. The data goes into the system. No handwriting, no spreadsheet, no missing photo.
When the commissioning agent asks for the record, the answer takes seconds.
Capture the test on the gauge. Share the result with your team. Close out with the records already done.
Cumulus works with the gauges and tools your crews already use, including WIKA CPG1500, Additel BLE pressure gauges. Workers follow guided steps on a tablet. The tool captures the data. And you get a real-time view of both your work and your trade partners.
Pressure tests, flange torques, hold points, and weld inspections all go through the same workflow. The gauge sends the test value straight to the system. The wrench sends the torque value straight to the system. No clipboards. No retyping. The work is the record.
Mechanical and electrical work live in one dashboard, in real time. The PM sees both trades in the same window. When the next trade handoff is coming, everyone is informed. Coordination stops being a Monday morning conversation.
Every pressure test, every flange, every connection, timestamped and linked to the tool that did the work. Closeout becomes a button, not a two-week scramble. The commissioning agent gets what they ask for in seconds.
Protect the hardware. Hold the schedule. Defend every connection.
See how Fulcrum Data Center Services uses Cumulus to get a real-time view of construction progress across complex, multi-site builds.
Cumulus was originally developed inside Shell’s mission-critical infrastructure program, built to solve the documentation and verification gap on projects where a single bad connection could cost lives and hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, that same platform is in use across hyperscale data center programs at scale, and on equipment where Cumulus is used, zero arc flash incidents have been recorded.
Cumulus integrates with project management and documentation systems through a flexible API.
Most users are up and running in under an hour, with full onboarding support provided.
Cumulus is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and uses industry-standard encryption and security protocols.
