Defence Cleanrooms & Controlled Environments.
Our clients operate in one of the most demanding sectors, where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. At Ardmac, we deliver engineered cleanroom solutions that meet these expectations with trust, technical excellence and unwavering attention to detail.
With decades of experience delivering complex, high-performance facilities, we are uniquely positioned to support defence programmes where reliability, security, and environmental stability are mission-critical. From sensitive electronics and aerospace systems to hazardous-material processes, defence applications demand environments that protect both product integrity and operational safety. Ardmac’s proven expertise ensures these spaces perform flawlessly.
Choosing Ardmac for defence projects means partnering with a team that understands the stringent technical requirements of defence-grade cleanrooms, from advanced containment strategies and airflow control to robust environmental stability and contamination-prevention measures. Our engineers combine specialist knowledge with rigorous validation processes to guarantee consistency and performance across every controlled space we deliver.
By integrating design, build, and validation under one dedicated provider, we reduce complexity, streamline communication, and de-risk every phase of the project. Through LEAN construction methodologies and advanced digital tools, we optimise delivery efficiency, accelerate schedules, and enhance value without compromising quality.
Above all, our “Safety First” culture underpins every aspect of our work. The protection of people, processes, and critical assets remains central to the design and construction of every defence facility we build.
Turnkey Design & Build
We deliver a single-source solution, integrating all architectural, mechanical, electrical, and process systems under one contract. This ensures streamlined coordination, accountability, and quality.
Modular & Flexible Architecture
Using modular, prefabricated systems, we deliver cleanroom envelopes that are:
-
Flexible and reconfigurable
-
Scalable for future needs
-
Built to integrate seamlessly with defence-specific processes and systems
Collaborative Early Stage (PCSA)
Through a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA), we work closely with clients from the concept phase. This collaborative approach helps de-risk the project by clarifying technical requirements, costs, and schedules before full commitment.
Off-Site Manufacturing
Our off-site manufacturing capability accelerates deployment, minimizes on-site disruption, and enhances quality control. Modules are fully tested before they reach your facility, ensuring rapid commissioning.
Guaranteed Performance
We guarantee key performance metrics, including:
-
Particulate concentration
-
Room pressurisation
-
Temperature and humidity stability
-
Containment measures
-
Illumination standards
Why Defence Requires Special Cleanroom Environments
Defence operations involve the production, testing, and assembly of highly sensitive components, from advanced electronics and aerospace systems to hazardous materials and classified technologies.
In these environments, contamination control is critical, even microscopic particles or trace vapours can jeopardise the performance and reliability of mission-critical equipment. Maintaining strict environmental stability is equally essential; precise control of temperature, humidity, pressure, and airflow ensures consistent conditions for safe and accurate manufacturing and testing.
Defence facilities also require robust safety and security measures, including controlled access, containment strategies, interlocks, and decontamination zones to protect both personnel and high-value assets. At the same time, stringent compliance and validation requirements demand that every aspect of the controlled environment meets the highest standards, supporting the integrity and performance of sensitive defence systems.
