Goel says that from his perspective it’s all very well organised.
We have taken the opportunity to reconfigure the building to some extent.But in the case of the air handling units, the building was more or less built around them so it was difficult and financially unviable to remove them.
So we have taken a mixed replace and refurbish approach to the plant machinery..But the building management system is all brand new.We have completely changed the philosophy of how the building operates.
It's a much more slimmed down version of what it used to be, using fan coil units for the basic cooling.We have brought it into line with current building regulations, and industry best practice, through good modern design.. We are now in the installation stage and our role is working with the contractor to ensure the mechanical and electrical systems installed meet the client brief and design vision.
The works should be complete early 2022.. Pharmaceutical Facility Design for GSK.
We've done a lot of work for GSK over four sites now, principally in Stevenage, where we built a new cryogenics building.This equipment is often heavily serviced, so the services take priority; perhaps much more so than in other building types.
It’s the services engineer’s responsibility to coordinate the disciplines and disseminate information to all the relevant parties to ensure their services can be properly provided..Following a review of the functional spaces, we will set out the basis of laboratory design in zoning diagrams for the different rooms, including any ISO or GMP requirements, pressure regimes, temperatures, air change rates, lux levels, circuit zoning, and keep all this information on a set of drawings.
These types of drawings are often created at RIBA Stage 2 then never carried through the project, but it’s vital information which develops the basis for the calculations and lab design.For labs we will therefore update this drawing at every design stage and use for quick reference..
