integration into a number of Decontamination Misting Showers and Automated Door Closers, this was meticulously developed to cater to the specific requirements of the project. Additionally, Ardmac provided a pneumatic door automation system for high-containment ATEX areas and offered seamless integration into the site security system. Containment Safety: The QC Laboratory saw Ardmac’s expertise in action, with the supply and installation of lab furniture, specialised fume hoods, and chemical storage units. The installation of a resin flooring system, Dagard walls, ceilings, and doors were seamlessly integrated. The facility in question is used in the production of API materials handling OEB 5 material, a critical safety element in the ability to contain any future leak of API to allow decontamination. With this in mind, the facility was constructed using Dagard walls, ceiling and doors from one of our key supply chain partners, the cleanroom and laboratory areas were constructed to achieve permeability in accordance with VDI 2083 Part 19. To achieve this, all penetration details to the facility were reviewed and detailed by Ardmac to ensure minimal leakage and a comprehensive book of penetration details were developed as part of the project to ensure compliance. Commissioning and Certification: Ardmac ensured that all areas were not only constructed but also commissioned to meet the client’s stringent safety standards. Through our continuous review of the client user requirement specifications, Ardmac developed an attributes assessment at an early stage in the design which was used to confirm compliance in design. Subsequently we developed SAT’s (Site

Acceptance Tests) which were leveraged by the client into their qualification process. This included rigorous testing of the facility to ensure compliance with the end users requirements. Special attention was given to the independent testing of the containment under VDI 2083 which was the critical safety requirement for the facility. Ardmac also provided commissioning and certification to ensure the safe use of fume hoods and the overall functionality of the HVAC system. Conclusion: The API Project for our International Pharma Client based in Ireland was a testament to Ardmac’s commitment to excellence, safety, and innovation. Our integrated approach, collaborative efforts with trade partners, and dedication to meeting client requirements ensured the successful completion of this complex and vital project. The resulting facilities are built to facilitate OEB 5 product use and adhere to global safety standards, demonstrating our capability to deliver exceptional solutions in the pharmaceutical industry.
