Project: Engineering Design & Project Managers

The Design and construction of new laboratories for on going product development and quality control.

The new product development laboratories comprise 2 laboratories with a total floor area of 2400 m2. One laboratory was for the development of savoury flavourings and one laboratory was for sweet flavourings. The design brief was to ensure that there was no cross contamination of products, smells and vapours between the laboratories.

The facility has been designed and constructed to EU/US standards and is now fully operational.

Our Company were appointed as Technology Design, Engineering and Validation consultants, and where asked to work with the builders, equipment vendors and the client R&D personnel to ensure that the suitable processes where inputted into the project from concept design stage.

Our Company carried out the Concept Design for the Laboratories and prepared the Technological Project (detailed engineering) to allow for all equipment, laboratory fit out, HVAC, utilities, BMS and specialist water systems.

This unit is now fully operational and assisting the client in the development of new products and formulations

Project: Engineering Design & Validation Consultants

We where appointed to build the client a new herbal products factory within an existing preserved building. This building could not be altered on the outside and it was a major achievement by the company to design a factory to the client’s requirements within the structure.

Our Company were employed as the Project Managers, Technologists, Designers, for concept, detailed design, and validation throughout the design, construction, procurement, validation and start up of the facility.

For this were required to prepare the Concept Design, the full engineering design for tender packages, and the Validation Master Plan. The VMP was written for the total project and included all manufacturing equipment, facilities, utilities and HVAC systems. PLC’s and computer systems supplied as part of the equipment and stand alone computer validation packages.

As part of the brief we prepared a co-ordinated project plan that linked all of the activities contained within the VMP to the design and construction of the facility and the equipment procurement.

Although this project was not subject to the regulatory requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice as laid down for the manufacture of medicinal products, the client was aware of the forthcoming regulations and requested the GMP Guides be used for the design and operation of the facility.
