BIM
Overview
AED has extensive experience in the design of cleanroom and laboratory facilities, M&E services and supporting infrastructure for a wide range of industry sectors.
Our experience includes the design of facilities for leading companies and research organisations in the following key areas:
Semiconductor manufacturing
Critical control of processing environments is essential for the successful manufacturing of semiconductor devices, on both silicon and compound semiconductor substrates. As device geometries reduce in scale, the demands on the manufacturing environment increase.
We design facilities which achieve extremely stringent control of airborne particulate and molecular contamination, EMC control, close-tolerance temperature and humidity control and vibration isolation. High-reliability infrastructure is required to deliver utilities, gases and chemicals at the highest level of safety, cleanliness and purity.
Life sciences
Key issues in the design of facilities for life-sciences manufacturing include containment, contamination and cross-contamination control and reliability. Additionally effective management of validation to the required mandatory guidelines is essential to the success of any project.
Our experience includes facilities for the production and packaging of pharmaceutical and medical products, radio-pharma production, biotechnology fermentation, gene therapy laboratories and bio-containment facilities.
Research facilities
The AED team is experienced in the design of highly serviced research facilities for a wide range of commercial and academic applications, encompassing nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, optoelectronics, microelectronics and solar PV.
Modern research facilities demand flexible space utilisation and thoughtfully designed working environments which stimulate collaboration, often bringing together diverse scientific disciplines, such as biotechnology and semiconductor technology.
Tool Hook Up
The hook-up design and management services comprise the specification, design, tendering and subsequent implementation of hook-up projects. The activities comprise amongst others:
- Preparation of detailed design documents for utility requirements, system interconnect and space management delivered with an integrated 3D design platform
- Preparation of macro and micro layouts for process and support areas
- Definition and design of mini-environments and associated construction documents
- Design coordination of floor and wall penetrations and appropriate shop drawings
- Coordination and direction of contractors/suppliers
- Time, cost and quality monitoring
- Coordination and verification of test & acceptance procedures
- Coordination of hand-over procedures to Client
- Operational support
