Pharma & Cleanroom
Structural engineering for pharmaceutical and cleanroom buildings: production buildings, cleanroom zones, plant floors and low-vibration foundations.
Pharmaceutical production, laboratory and cleanroom areas, medical technology.
What we take on
- Structural design for production and laboratory buildings
- Structure for cleanroom zones and plant floors
- Low-vibration floors and foundations for sensitive equipment
- Alteration and requalification in existing buildings
The plant floor is not an attic
Cleanroom production needs roughly one plant level per production level: air handling, services, return air. That means high floor loads, many penetrations, and a structure that accommodates services rather than obstructing them. Long-span floors with few internal columns are the rule here.
Vibration and deflection
Balances, microscopes and analytical equipment have vibration limits far below anything codes require for comfort. Those rooms belong at the lowest level or on their own foundations – a decision made at concept stage and barely correctable later.
Qualification
In this sector documentation is part of the product: every change traceable, every execution evidenced. We work accordingly, documented and model-based – see BIM.
