Clean Rooms Laboratories

The contract involved the complete strip out, alteration and refurbishment of existing rooms to form Clean Room Laboratories G.50 – G.55, Service Rooms, Pass Lobby, Dirty Room and G.57 Office Accommodation on the ground floor of a three storey teaching building. The Clean Room laboratories were constructed and commissioned to achieve ISO 6 and ISO 7 standard Clean Rooms ensuring full compliance with Clean Room Protocol. The remainder of the building was fully operational throughout the contract, with all IT and building services being maintained lived during the currency of the project.

The full works comprised:

• Removal of existing benching, wall furniture sinks and lab equipment
• Demolish walls, form door openings, alter door openings, infill walls
• Form new acoustic and airtight partitions and lining existing walls
• Full M&E Services Installation (power, lighting, data, AC and Ventilation)
• New lab benching and Fume Cupboard installations
• Doors and associated joinery work finishes
• Commissioning and validating Clean Rooms for handover

The M&E Services and Laboratory Furniture were Contractor Designed. All works were carried out under extremely high standards of cleanliness and in full compliance with Clean Room Protocol and Clean Room Construction procedures, including fortnightly Certifying Agency site inspections and rigorous testing and commissioning in accordance with Clean Room Validation procedures.

“We are all extremely pleased with our new Clean Room Facility which has been constructed and finished to a very high standard and has been professionally managed throughout the construction phase.

I would like to express particular praise and thanks to the SJS Project and Sub-Contractor Team for their highly professional, conscientious and helpful attitude through the project lifespan, always displaying excellent communication skills, eye for detail, high standards and strong emphasis on Health & Safety.

It has been a breath of fresh air to have SJS Property Services delivering this project at Heriot-Watt University.”
