Connect 2 Cleanrooms worked closely with distribution partners, exhibiting at the Cleanroom Technology Conference 2018 alongside DuPont and Particles Plus.
Having supported the conference each year, this year saw Connect 2 Cleanrooms’ national territories manager, Rebecca Smith, present a talk on Industry 4.0.
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 uses offsite construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques to deliver this vast cleanroom project on time, on budget and to a high specification.
Kingspan UltraTech Precision cleanroom panels, with an ECOsafe PIR core, were used to create a fully flush finish - suitable for the stringently regulated environment.
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 three particle counters, BMS integration and more.
