Steritech
The Challenge:
Steritech had recently constructed a new controlled processing facility designed to meet ISO 7 and ISO 8 cleanroom standards. The facility required dedicated office and amenities space for staff working in the controlled environment. To maintain the integrity of the cleanroom, it was essential to ensure that the office and amenities area was both secure and segregated from other parts of the facility, minimising any potential risks of contamination or interference with sensitive processes.
The Solution:
Heighton carried out a thorough evaluation of the facility to identify the most suitable location for the new office and amenities area. An adjacent space near the cleanroom was identified as the optimal site for development, allowing it to be securely separated from other staff and operations. The solution involved designing and constructing a structural mezzanine floor to maximize the available space, along with an open-plan office, restrooms, and a canteen. This approach ensured that staff had convenient and dedicated facilities while maintaining the stringent cleanliness standards required by the controlled environment. The construction was carefully planned to ensure that the secure separation between the cleanroom and the rest of the facility was always maintained, thereby protecting the controlled environment from any potential contamination risks.
The Outcome
The completed project enabled Steritech to maintain the cleanliness and security of its controlled ISO 7 and ISO 8 processing facility. By providing a dedicated and well-designed space for staff, the company achieved a clear segregation between the cleanroom and other departments, safeguarding the sensitive environment and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The new office and amenities area not only improved the working conditions for staff but also contributed to the efficient operation of the controlled facility, supporting Steritech's commitment to quality and safety.
