  • Engineering specialized cleanroom partitions that ensure proper segregation and contamination control
  • Implementing an advanced HVAC systemto maintain controlled airflow, air purity, temperature, and humidity
  • Integrating internal electrical systems to support laboratory equipment and operations
  • Providing high-performance flooring and specialized cleanroom equipment suitable for academic and research use
  • Executing the project with full compliance to international cleanroom standards while maintaining operational efficiency

The mission was clear: deliver a high-precision, contamination-free environment that enables cutting-edge scientific research.

Our Approach: Engineering Excellence for Academic Innovation

We deployed a multidisciplinary team of cleanroom designers, MEP engineers, HVAC specialists, and validation experts. Our approach combined conceptual and detailed engineering, precise construction, and rigorous quality assurance.

Conceptual Design and Engineering: Building for Research Precision

We began by understanding ASI’s research and academic objectives. The conceptual and detailed design focused on:

  • Defining segregated cleanroom zones for different experimental workflows
  • Optimizing laboratory layouts for material, personnel, and equipment movement
  • Planning mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systemsto ensure seamless operational integration
  • Enabling scalability for future academic and research expansions

The designs laid a foundation for a laboratory environment capable of supporting innovative scientific experimentation.

Cleanroom Partitions and HVAC: Controlling the Environment

To maintain strict sterility and environmental control, we provided:

  • High-performance cleanroom partitions for ISO 6, 7, and 8 zones, ensuring airtight separation and contamination prevention
  • Advanced HVAC systems providing precise airflow, temperature, humidity control, and HEPA-filtered air
  • Pressure-differentiated rooms to maintain optimal conditions for sensitive research

These installations created a highly controlled environment essential for advanced laboratory work.

Internal Electrical Work and Laboratory Infrastructure

We implemented comprehensive electrical and operational support, including:

  • Power distribution and backup systems for critical laboratory operations
  • Lighting systems optimized for precision research
  • Integration with specialized lab equipment, ensuring uninterrupted functionality

This infrastructure ensured that all cleanroom operations could run efficiently and reliably.

Flooring, Equipment, and Validation: Ensuring Compliance and Functionality

To complete the laboratory setup, we provided:

  • High-performance cleanroom flooring suitable for rigorous academic use
  • Specialized laboratory equipment aligned with research requirements
  • Installation, commissioning, and validation servicesto verify compliance with international cleanroom standards

Our meticulous approach ensured contamination-free operations and operational readiness.
