North East Giga Factory Design and build both clean & dry production spaces
Location:
Washington, Sunderland.
Project Size:
70,000m2 of classified & non classified space.
“Ardmac was recently appointed to design and build clean and dry production spaces for a major new giga factory in the North East of England. This project encompasses HVAC design, structural dependencies for all in-scope systems, non- classified ancillary spaces and laboratories, as well as all fire compartmentation walls. Utilising the client’s environmental conditions and utilities matrix, Ardmac has developed a compliant and highly efficient space that delivers optimal value. Our air recirculation design maximises both capital and operational expenditure efficiencies, ensuring cost-effective and sustainable solutions. A key factor to the success of this project has been the close coordination between Ardmac, the client, their process equipment vendor, and the suppliers of all major plant and equipment elements interfacing with Ardmac’s clean and dry room envelopes
and associated services. Early engagement has ensured that agreed interface points across the facility have been meticulously planned, resulting in a fully coordinated design and build that aligns with the client’s specific requirements. The facility utilises an advanced air management concept based on Fan Filter Units (FFUs), integrated with separate dehumidification units and tertiary cooling systems. Cleanroom classifications range from ISO 8 to ISO 6, with dew point temperatures varying between –20°C and –45°C. In 2011, Ardmac was also appointed as the dry cleanroom contractor for the original battery manufacturing facility in Washington, Sunderland. Our scope of work included the detailed design and installation of the cleanroom envelope, featuring rapid roller conveyor hatches, luminaires, fan filter units, partitions, ceilings, flooring, doors, builders’
work openings, fire stopping, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The project was successfully handed over on schedule and in full compliance with the specified requirements.”
