The upgrading of the existing ISO5 compounding suite was a major undertaking by Taylors on behalf of our client which required detailed planning and scheduling over three consecutive shutdown periods, each requiring full suite revalidation within a very restricted time scale. The intervention works were critical to production activities and success required astute planning and detailing by all disciplines as part of the Taylor team. Full contractor coordination and oversight extender over 24/7 operations during shutdown periods to a successful project outcome.
Overview
This project required the upgrade of an existing ISO7 Compounding Suit that was in operation for in excess of fifteen (15) years with regular interventions and modification resulting in a facility that was at a critical stage in terms of necessary expansion capability to meet the demands of increase production requirements and GMP compliance. This was achieved by the demolition of redundant rooms and reconfiguration of the overall layout to streamline operations principally around the movement of tanks and vessels.
Taylors were commissioned to manage the design and procurement with construction support for the upgrade of an existing ISO7 Compounding suite.
The project involved fabric and associated building services and utilities upgrades comprising floors, walls, ceiling, HEPA filter replacement, improved access to overhead services, demolition of existing structures to facilitate more efficient movement of tanks and vessels generally throughout the compounding suite, AHU replacement including all ancillary header ductwork, supply ductwork and controls. Provision of utilities to new equipment and general upgrade of all electrical services.
The critical nature of the works and potential impact on existing production activities required a phased approach to the planning and execution of site operations over a thirteen-month period, generally leveraging extended shutdown periods.
Phase 1 comprised isolation of redundant services, upgrading of the building fabric walls and ceilings, provision of temporary GMP partitions for isolated areas etc. with a duration of 3.5 weeks. Phase 2 comprised floor replacement with terrazzo resin flooring, installation of process drains and connections, duration 3.0 weeks.
Phase 3 comprised AHU replacement and associated header/supply ductwork and controls, removal of all temporary screens, GMP furniture and fittings installation and final electrical services hookup, duration 3.5 weeks.
