Life Sciences

Our clients work at the forefront of innovation. Our innovative cleanroom solutions are built on trust, collaboration and technical expertise.

For almost 50 years Ardmac has been delivering controlled environments to customers in the life sciences and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Ardmac is one of Europe’s leading cleanroom providers, delivering high-quality solutions for the world’s top pharmaceutical manufacturers, the largest semiconductor producer, and numerous medical device companies and healthcare providers.

Modern manufacturing cleanrooms must meet increasing demands for standardisation, rapid deployment, and accelerated schedules. The rise of single-use systems (SUS) and proof of closure has become a key driver in facility and process design.

To meet these evolving needs, next-generation cleanrooms must be standardised, flexible, adaptable, and easily reconfigurable.

Ardmac Life Sciences

Design and Build:
Single source solution, integrating architectural envelopes with mechanical, electrical, and process systems.

Ardmac specialises in the design and construction of turnkey solutions for controlled environments across the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Medical Devices, and Advanced Manufacturing industries.

Following the concept design phase of any project, a detailed design must be completed before construction can begin—especially when opting for a design and build procurement route. Ardmac offers a single-source work package, assuming full responsibility for the design and construction of the project. Under a single contract, we manage safety, cost, schedule, and quality, ensuring the cleanroom’s performance meets the highest standards.

We guarantee compliance with critical performance criteria, including:

Particulate Concentration
Room Pressurisation
Temperature & Humidity Control
Containment Measures
Illumination Standards

At Ardmac, we take pride in our collaborative approach, working closely with clients to transform initial concepts into commissioned and certified controlled environments. Our team of experienced cleanroom designers and engineers supports clients from the initial concept through detailed design, addressing unique site challenges and ensuring full compliance with local codes and regulatory requirements.

A full Turnkey Design & Build Cleanroom project begins with a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA). This agreement fosters a collaborative approach, allowing Ardmac to provide expert guidance at an earlier stage of the project life cycle, ensuring the efficient and successful delivery of controlled environments.

Benefits of a PCSA approach for delivery of design & build turnkey cleanroom facilities

R

01. Expertise and Experience:

Ardmac has extensive experience in designing and constructing cleanrooms for various industries such as pharmaceuticals, medtech, microelectronics and healthcare. We ensure that our cleanrooms are built to the highest standards and in compliance with relevant regulations and industry guidelines.

R

04. Quality Assurance:

Ardmac is committed to delivering high-quality cleanroom facilities that meet or exceed client expectations. We use quality materials and construction techniques to ensure the durability, reliability, and functionality of the cleanroom over the long term.

R

02. Customised Solutions:

Ardmac works closely with clients to understand their specific requirements and preferences. We can tailor the cleanroom design to meet the unique needs of each client, including size, layout, cleanliness level, HVAC system, and equipment integration.

R

05. Compliance and Validation:

Ardmac ensures that the cleanroom meets all relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards, such as ISO cleanroom classifications, GMP guidelines, and FDA regulations. We also provide validation services to verify the performance and cleanliness of the cleanroom before handover to the client.

R

03. Turnkey Solution:

Ardmac provides a complete turnkey solution, handling all aspects of the cleanroom project from design and construction to installation and commissioning. This minimises the client’s involvement and ensures a seamless and efficient process from start to finish.

R

06. Project Management:

Ardmac assigns a dedicated project manager to oversee all aspects of the cleanroom project, including scheduling, budgeting, subcontractor management, and quality control. This ensures that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Architectural:
Modular, pre-engineered Cleanroom systems with flexibility designed in.

Our range of architectural solutions when combined provide the most advanced and aesthetically pleasing compliant cleanrooms. Walls, ceilings, doors and floors integrate seamlessly with GMP detailing to provide an airtight performance envelope.

We leverage industry leaders as partners to provide integrated Terminal HEPA Housings, return air solutions and lighting specific to, and integrated in, our cleanroom systems.

There has been a significant shift from open manufacturing systems to a more closed-system approach where the validated closed-system allows for a loosening of cleanroom classifications and a shift in cleanroom design to open ballroom or segregated matrix of suites.

Today’s requirement for standardisation, rapid deployment and reduced schedules are all drivers for the modern manufacturing cleanroom facility. The continued deployment of single-use systems (SUS) coupled with proof of closure has become a key driver for facility and processes design that embrace the need for the next generation cleanrooms that are standardised, flexible, adaptable and easily reconfigured.

Off Site Manufacturing:
Ardmac controlled environment solutions.

Ardmac has extensive expertise in designing production spaces for critical environments, recognising our clients’ growing need for speed to market. Our offsite building solutions are tailored to meet the unique demands of the life sciences, data center, and advanced manufacturing industries.

Our modular solutions offer unmatched flexibility, allowing for easy expansion or modification as business needs evolve. Designed with a comprehensive approach, we consider all aspects of the build, from architectural aesthetics to mechanical, electrical, and process services, ensuring seamless integration for each application.

Benefits of Ardmac’s Modular Approach:

Fast & Efficient Turnaround – Predictable timelines with a streamlined process.
Scalability & Adaptability – Easily repurpose or expand modular units.
Portability – Units can be transported to other locations as needed.
Safer Work Environment – Reduced on-site noise, dust, and disruption.

With eight global manufacturing sites, Ardmac produces purpose-built modular units to the highest industry standards. Offsite manufacturing minimizes on-site disruptions, enhancing safety and efficiency.

Each module undergoes rigorous testing at our manufacturing facility before shipping, ensuring full compliance. Once installed and connected to permanent utilities, the units are retested on-site, guaranteeing swift compliance and operational readiness.
