The worlds of research, services, and manufacturing across industries like the life sciences, electronics, and automotives have become overwhelmingly complex today. Fortunately, infrastructure development in these industries has also evolved to keep up with this complexity. Specifically, in industries that require controlled environments, turnkey cleanrooms have become the go-to solution. Be it biopharma research, semiconductor…

Clean rooms in the pharmaceutical industry are the foundation of safe, compliant, and high-quality drug development and manufacturing. From early-stage research to commercial-scale production, clean environments protect products, processes, and people. They help pharmaceutical companies meet strict regulatory standards while maintaining consistency and efficiency. If you’re in biopharma and are planning a new facility or…

In today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing and research environments, clean and controlled spaces are essential. A modular cleanroom provides an effective solution for industries from pharmaceuticals to electronics and biotechnology. This complete guide will walk you through everything you need to know about building a modular cleanroom. We focus on design, planning, construction and operational considerations.…

No matter what you manufacture, research or operate in a cleanroom, the design and build of your facility will impact the results you get. And how do you ensure that your cleanroom gets not just the best design and engineering in the market, but the best design and engineering for you? Only the best cleanroom…

Biosafety isn’t bought. It is earned through good design, strict protocols, and constant vigilance. That’s why the best BSL 3 labs aren’t just chosen from a BSL 3 lab manufacturer. Establishing and maintaining compliance with a biosafety level is an ongoing process rather than a one-and-done event. Through this process, you want not just a…

From the Ebola and Marburg viruses to the Nipah and the Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) causing ones, many pathogens share a combination of factors. They’re extremely virulent, especially because of their potential for airborne spread. The lack of effective treatments and vaccines makes them notorious for their high mortality rates. They’re among the most lethal…

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed in our digital world of today, it’s the robust demand for servers and data centers, especially since the beginning of the generative AI era.  The leap has been in terms of not only quantity but also quality. Modern servers have made tremendous leaps in sophistication over the years. Today,…

An aerospace company needed a contamination-controlled space for the manufacturing and assembly of critical aircraft components. They were presented with a choice – a hardwall or a softwall cleanroom. Their particular application called for extremely stringent contamination and environmental control combined with high static pressure to ensure the integrity of the aircraft components. So the…

Scalable infrastructure for a data-heavy world  In the past roughly ten years, there has been a noticeable shift in the world of data centers. Primarily, we’re talking about brick-and-mortar structures giving way to prefabricated modular data centers. One of the main drivers of this transition has been cloud computing. Think Amazon Web Services (AWS) and…

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Pfizer and BioNTech decided, in March 2020, to work collaboratively on a vaccine. The partners chose two Pfizer facilities – one in Puurs, Belgium and another in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA – to develop processes and manufacture their vaccine candidates at an industrial scale. A formulation lab was built. An industrial…
