Aerospace Cleanrooms & Controlled Environments.

Ardmac delivers engineered controlled environments precisely built for the aerospace industry — where contamination control, environmental stability and technical precision determine mission-critical success. With decades of experience in regulated, high-tech construction, we provide modular and turnkey cleanroom solutions for aerospace manufacturing, testing, and R&D.

Partnering with Ardmac for aerospace projects means choosing a team with decades of proven experience delivering highly regulated, technical environments for sectors such as microelectronics and life sciences. Our integrated delivery model brings architecture, mechanical systems, process engineering, and validation together under one roof, reducing complexity and streamlining stakeholder management. We design flexible, future-ready cleanroom solutions that evolve with your aerospace programme, using modular construction and scalable classifications to support both current and long-term requirements. Through lean construction methods, BIM, and advanced digital tools, we improve efficiency, optimise timelines, and deliver exceptional value. Above all, our “Safety First” philosophy ensures that every facility we build protects your people, your processes, and your mission-critical aerospace assets.

Ardmac’s aerospace cleanrooms support a wide range of applications, including satellite and space-vehicle component assembly, avionics and sensor manufacturing, propulsion testing and engine part production, composite lay-up and curing, as well as the development of ultra-sensitive optics, instrumentation, and payload systems.

Why Aerospace Requires Special Cleanroom Environments

Aerospace manufacturing demands exceptional levels of precision and environmental control. Even microscopic particulates, slight humidity fluctuations, or electrostatic discharge can compromise components that must perform reliably under extreme conditions. From satellite assemblies and avionics to propulsion systems and advanced composite structures, contamination-free environments are essential to ensure performance, safety, and mission success.

Aerospace cleanrooms typically operate to ISO 14644-1 classifications, requiring carefully engineered airflow, filtration, pressurisation, and environmental stability. Ardmac designs these spaces with both current operational needs and future programme requirements in mind, ensuring that classification levels, workflow, and infrastructure can adapt as technology evolves.

Environmental and geographic conditions also influence the design of aerospace cleanrooms. Local climate variations — such as seasonal humidity or temperature swings — can significantly impact HVAC capacity, make-up air strategies, and filtration performance. Ardmac accounts for these external factors to deliver robust, resilient systems that maintain precise control year-round.

Security is another critical consideration. Aerospace facilities often require enhanced protection for sensitive equipment and processes. Ardmac integrates security into the cleanroom architecture from the start, incorporating controlled access, structural reinforcement, airflow-based protection strategies, and acoustic measures to safeguard both environmental integrity and classified operations.
