ABOUT ARDMAC

Our guiding principles.

01. Safety First.

04. Excellence as Standard.

Safety first and always is foremost in our thinking. For everyone around us, in everything we do and wherever we impact.

Excellence is the certainty that we bring to our projects. We need to plan intelligently, think smart, and deliver wholeheartedly. So we go the extra mile, to be the best. 05. Deliver our Brand Promise. We all play our part in re-enforcing Ardmac’s enviable reputation by focusing on the client’s needs and taking pride in our work. We Build Better together.

02. Understand our Customers. Listen to the client, understand their

project vision and focus on the result. Build relationships - they matter. Ensure a positive experience so that our customers come back to us time and time again.

03. Respect Always.

We are open, honest, and transparent with each other to enable us to achieve the same goal.

Design and Build: Ideal dry cleanroom conditions with a safe pair of hands.

The design solutions required to achieve ideal dry room conditions are made up of 2 critical elements: the architectural envelope, and the HVAC system. All design solutions must ensure the matching of the architectural envelop with the HVAC systems; to achieve the required performance they must be indivisible. The architectural envelope is responsible for meeting the requirements in relation to the provision of a hermetically sealed room. The HVAC system is responsible for ensuring that the required temperature, humidity levels and airborne particle concentrations are maintained. While the design principles for dry rooms remain consistent, the project specific design solutions can vary depending on a number of key design variables which include the following:

Room occupancy levels

Required temperature and relatively humidity levels & control bandwidths

Physical room dimensions

Sensible internal heat loads

Room exhaust rates

Process workflows and equipment layouts

Material and people flows and airlock barriers i.e. MALs and PALs

Clean and dry rooms. The Ardmac Way.

CLEAN AND DRY ROOMS

01. Intelligent Design Dry cleanrooms require an integrated design of each contamination risk element. There can be no split responsibilities over performance and accountability; this only leads to over design and inefficiencies, with an unnecessary increase in capital expenditure and then operational expenditure. 02. Smart Control Every extra gram of moisture that has to be treated adds an unnecessary cost. Ardmac uses ‘Smart’ adaptive demand based control, with continuous monitoring of critical environmental parameters of moisture content, airborne particles and static charge levels. This real-time information, when coupled with integrated control of MALs and PALs ensures no moisture ingress during operations and precise contamination control, in the most efficient and cost effective manner. 03. Energy Efficient Ardmac has a particular expertise in dry cleanrooms and integrating ‘Smart’ HVAC systems and desiccant dryers. ‘Smart’ design principles are important when developing airlocks (MALs & PALs) to control air infiltration before it gets into the dry cleanroom and sensitive lithium-ion battery processes. Air leakage and unnecessary moisture treatment are the unseen enemies of good operational efficiencies and OPEX control. 04. Working Smart Ardmac work ‘Smart’, meaning we deploy innovative and integrated technologies throughout our business to coordinate our building processes and drive performance. We apply Lean construction and cloud based collaboration tools including BIM, Last Planner, GoContractor and Procore to maximise value for our clients. By implementing these powerful tools, clients are directly embedded in the process and can see project performance in real time.

05. Firestopping and Safeguarding There are inherent safety hazards involved with Li battery manufacturing processes, in particular, as their electrolytes are flammable by nature. Ardmac provide dedicated fire compartmentation for process segregation and isolation, for example those areas around aging ovens. In addition, off-gas monitoring is critical to guard against thermal runaway, which is an exothermic reaction in which lithium- ion battery cell temperatures rise rapidly in an uncontrollable manner, and toxic gases are vented, increasing the risk of personnel safety, fire and explosions. 06. Scale and Speed of Delivery Ardmac’s ability to deliver these fast track giga battery facilities is demonstrated by our proven ability to deliver complex large scale data centres and microelectronic facilities across the UK and Europe. There is no room for errors, either in design, co-ordination or execution to commissioning, performance verification, certification, handover and start-up. Speed of volume production is critical in this fast changing EV landscape.

07. Vapour Shield Ardmac’s Vapour Shield approach –

Ardmac are specialists in providing controlled environments with moisture and particle containment at the centre of our focus. We ensure all penetrations and joints are designed with vapour permeability in mind. This includes the entry and exit MAL and PAL barriers to moisture ingress.

WORKING SMART

“We see huge potential in automating routine tasks and reducing administrative burdens, empowering our people to spend more time focusing on what they do best – applying their expertise where it adds the most value. This will help us move faster, make better decisions, and deliver higher-quality outcomes for our clients, all while continuing to uphold the quality standards that have come to define Ardmac or, as we call it, ‘the Ardmac Way’.”

Fergus Nugent, Operations Director

WORKING SMART

Revolutionising construction site management. At Ardmac, innovation drives excellence. In 2024, we embarked on a transformative journey to enhance our site openings management process. While our workflows were already grounded in robust BIM implementation, we recognised the potential to elevate efficiency and safety by integrating cutting- edge technology. After evaluating both Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), we identified AR as the optimal solution for on-site applications. Unlike VR, which posed safety challenges, AR offered a practical and secure alternative, allowing teams to utilise tablets in the field. To ensure seamless integration, we selected GAMMA AR, a leading augmented reality tool compatible with Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore. A rigorous proof of concept verified its compatibility with our systems, and our Digital Innovation Committee (DIC) approved the deployment. The DIC, composed of senior leaders across departments, ensures all digital processes align with Ardmac’s high standards for quality and innovation.

By integrating AR with BIM, Ardmac has set a new standard for construction efficiency and precision. Real-time visualisation and data synchronisation eliminated inefficiencies, reduced errors, and aligned on-site execution with design specifications. This innovative system exemplifies our commitment to excellence, empowering teams with cutting-edge tools to deliver safer, more efficient, and higher- quality construction projects. Ardmac continues to lead the way in digital transformation, demonstrating how technology can revolutionise site management and redefine industry benchmarks.

“Our clients are building the future, and they trust us to deliver their vision. They value our dedication and commitment to ensuring that every project we deliver is of the highest quality.”

Enda Murphy, Chief Business Officer

“It’s taken time but our sustainable practices are now firmly embedded in our corporate agenda. We don’t just talk about sustainability, there’s real substance behind our actions, and we aim to have authentic, transparent conversations about our progress along the way.”

Diarmaid Magee, Director of SHEQ

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability in action. From modelling embodied carbon on all projects to developing a sustainability labelling system for modular builds, we help clients make informed, low-carbon choices. Our in-house BIM team supports this by prioritising sustainable materials and smarter design.

Driving Industry-Wide Impact

Sustainability extends beyond our business. We collaborate with suppliers, setting higher environmental standards. Partnering with Dagard, we secured Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for cleanroom materials, setting a new industry benchmark. Achieving ISO 20400 certification in sustainable procurement reinforces our commitment. By prioritising ethical sourcing and encouraging suppliers to adopt EPDs, we drive positive change across the industry.

At Ardmac, sustainability isn’t just responsibility—it’s action.
