PROJECT overview

Reimagining a former warehouse shell as a certified cleanroom production facility for electronics manufacturing.

This project saw Glenside develop a basic new-build warehouse-type property into a fully operational technical electronics facility. The client selected Glenside to provide a complete design and build process, spanning initial concept design, detailed design and specification through to installation and handover. Existing spaces and new mezzanine space were developed into a modern, professional facility delivered on time and on budget.

THE CHALLENGE

A constrained, dated space that had to keep working around live operations

Structural aspects, Building Regulations, landlord requirements, cleanroom compliance standards and health and safety all needed to be carefully coordinated.

Designs by client-appointed specialists, process / personnel flow and energy conservation also had to be incorporated into the overall design.

Technical CAD drawings needed to be regularly updated throughout the project to accommodate the client's evolving needs.

OUR SOLUTION

Precise fulfilment across a specialist scope.

From preparatory works and the erection of a new mezzanine floor through to final finishes and commissioning, Glenside acted as CDM Principal Contractor, with the office-based operations team working closely with the dedicated site manager, supervisors and client-appointed specialists. Precision was particularly important in the creation of the certified air-tight cleanroom construction and its specialist services. The project included an 8,000 sq ft ISO7 certified cleanroom together with changing rooms, transfer rooms, stores, washrooms, canteen, reception, boardroom, offices and an external compressor building.

Glenside have been a one-stop shop, from design and permits to building regulations and project completion, with clear, open communication throughout. The project has run on time and we've hit every single marker. I would most definitely recommend Glenside, and I already have during the project.
