Main Contractor: BES
End User: AstraZeneca Macclesfield Campus, UK
The project comprised a fit-out of a new 8000m2 footprint of a highly specified Packing Facility, comprising cleanrooms and supporting areas. The brief was to provide nine GMP Grade D packing cleanrooms, each of which required strict temperature, humidity and pressure control to enable primary packing of pharmaceuticals in a clean environment with no risk of contamination. Each of these Primary Packing cells connects to a common, secondary packing area.
To meet the project specification and environmental requirements, Norwood proposed our 100mm Mediline Cleanroom Partitions. Following a rigorous selection process, our solution was a preferred option over four alternative systems.
Working closely with the client’s team and the main contractor, we designed and developed bespoke solutions such as Flush Coving, Fire Rated Vision Panels, Bulkheads and Half Height partitioning. Cleanability has been ensured through the hygienic finish of the demountable partition panels and, in particular, by incorporating recessed radiused coving at ceiling to wall joints providing a smooth clean finish throughout the room.
Our innovative acoustic ceiling combines hygienic, wipeable, sound absorbing materials and cleanroom grade panels which not only reduce environmental noise levels but also provide cleanable airtight surfaces. Within the open plan secondary area, partial height glazed partitioning was employed.
The facility was built with future adaptability in mind and the possibility of increasing the cleanrooms to Grade C, therefore the Norwood Flush Coving was utilised in the spinal corridor and primary cells.
Supplying over 7000m2 of ceilings and 6000m2 of partitioning, this was one of Norwood’s largest cleanroom projects, delivered to an extremely challenging programme.
