Lancaster based, Connect 2 Cleanrooms picked up the award for Best Cleanroom Facility at the Cleanroom Technology Conference 2018; for its work on the 990m², ISO class 8 facility for global medical products and technologies company, Convatec.
The judges chose the Convatec medical technology cleanroom as the winning entry, “because of the company’s comprehensive project presentation, which was not only broad in scope but also showed careful consideration of aesthetics, energy efficiency and sustainability, while meeting budget and timeline constraints, and making good use of the latest build technology and method.”
Connect 2 Cleanrooms use offsite construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques to deliver this vast cleanroom project on time, on budget and to a high specification.
To ensure the cleanroom was aligned with the current facility, where the corridors incorporate windows and doors, a point cloud 3D scan of the entire building was conducted in the initial stages to provide a virtual view of the space. This resulted in the cleanroom being applied efficiently with seamless interfaces.
This scan provided the accuracy required to pre-engineer all components of the cleanroom prior to installation, using off-site construction methods to optimise project management.
Localised air conditioning and dehumidifier units were used to supply processed air to fan filter units. This approach meant a significantly lower initial investment and increased energy efficiency when operational, than an AHU. There is enough resilience calculated to ensure continuous operation.
Other features include fully flush panel system, roller shutter doors, bespoke control system including 3 particle counters, BMS integration and more.
