Delivering a retrofit project in a live operational facility is always challenging but opportunities to excel always present themselves. Recognising this fact is imperative, hard work and attention to detail are the corner stones of delivering success, along with the ability to adopt to the clients ever changing production environment and operational requirements.
Overview
Our client traditionally managed such projects with their in-house engineering team and as such, this was their first venture into delivering a project with an external design house. Recognising this fact, Taylor Group worked tirelessly to understand the benefits of this project for our client and cultivated a sense of trust and project ownership, resulting in the successful delivery of the project in a collaborative manner which was to the benefit of all.
The project allowed the decommissioning of the existing and design of a new gowning facility, personnel access/material access lobbies and while the facility was commissioned to operate to ISO8, the HVAC system was designed to allow for the future validation of the facility to ISO7 and as such a new HVAC system was installed with supply and extract header ductwork extending from a roof mounted AHU unit with necessary weathering and control wiring. The flooring system was replaced throughout, and existing system-build wall panels were reclad. With limited access space within the ceiling void for the distribution of services etc. coordination of same was critical for the servicing of new equipment locations and this was facilitated by the installation of a system build walk-on ceiling.
A lean lift was provided with direct access to the cleanroom (first floor level) with fire shutter separation as it provided direct access to a separate compartment.
Retrofit projects have many challenges for the client, relocation of production activities, decommissioning of redundant equipment and services, services tie-in points, contractors intervention into a live operation facility, identification of contractor access points, removal of waste material, potential impact on existing emergency/personnel routes, and contractor materials delivery and placement. To mitigate these risks Taylor Group, implement our Risk and Opportunity strategies so risks to production and general client activities were identified, assessed, and prudent mitigation methodologies were put in place to protect our client for the duration of construction operations.
