Cleanroom facility management
Effective cleanroom facility management
Cleanroom facility management plays a key role in industries that require strict contamination control, such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing. In these environments, even small deviations can affect quality and compliance.
For this reason, facility management services cover maintenance, process utilities, and cleanroom furniture fit-out. A well-managed modular cleanroom improves efficiency, supports regulatory compliance, and protects product quality.
At the same time, our facility management approach follows an in-house Design for Maintainability (DfM) strategy. In addition, this strategy works together with our Configure-to-Order (CTO) model and the patented VIX concept. As a result, total lifecycle costs are reduced across the full cleanroom lifecycle.
Supported cleanroom facility management services include
Our services support a wide range of cleanroom environments. For example, we work with:
- High-tech facilities, including aerospace, mechatronics, micro-electronics, semiconductor, and photonics
- Biotech and pharmaceutical facilities, such as gene therapy, vaccine production, CAR-T research, and clinical trials
- Biosafety laboratories from BSL-1 to BSL-3
- Single-use and modular laboratories
- Fill-finish lines and cell culture suites
- Research and development (R&D) environments
Design for Maintainability (DfM) with VIX
Design for Maintainability focuses on keeping cleanroom facilities easy to service throughout their lifecycle. To achieve this, systems use standardized and pre-engineered components that improve access and simplify maintenance tasks.
As a result, the VIX-based approach lowers downtime and reduces maintenance costs. Moreover, maintenance strategies are already defined during the design phase. This early planning ensures stable performance and reliable operation over time.
Within this framework, the Design for Maintainability process follows four clear principles, supported by our CTO+ model:
Forecast maintenance
Our designers anticipate the impact of their designs and the expected maintenance activities, ensuring necessary design provisions are in place.
Access for maintenance
Our designers carefully consider all areas requiring access for inspection and maintenance.
Minimise maintenance interventions
Our designers focus on material performance, condition-based maintenance, and spare part management to reduce the need for frequent interventions.
Enable simple maintenance
Our designers prioritize standardization and the use of pre-engineered components to simplify inspection and maintenance.
Cleanroom Process Utilities
Cleanroom process utilities are essential for maintaining environmental stability and contamination control. As a result, these systems require precise design and careful integration.
By using standardized building blocks within the ADAPTUS platform, we simplify system integration. Consequently, utilities operate reliably, remain compliant with cleanroom standards, and support future expansion.
Key cleanroom process utilities we support:
- Compressed air and gas systems, such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, CO₂, and anhydrous ammonia
- Purified water solutions, including deionized water, WFI, and clean steam
- Vacuum and exhaust systems, such as bag-in/bag-out exhaust and downflow booths
- Specialty chemical and gas storage solutions
- Isolators, LAF cabinets, and fume cupboards
Meanwhile, we treat all utilities as pre-engineered modules within the ADAPTUS platform. This approach improves reliability and simplifies future upgrades.
Cleanroom Furnishing Fit-Out Services
Cleanroom furnishing directly affects workflow, ergonomics, and contamination control. Therefore, furnishing solutions must support both daily operations and regulatory requirements.
Through integrated fit-out services, we design cleanroom workspaces for biotech, pharma, and high-tech environments. Finally, all furnishings are selected to ensure compliance, durability, and long-term performance.
ABN cleanroom furnishing service includes:
Modular benches and shelving systems
Ergonomic workstations
Complete furnishing of personnel change areas (PAL) and material airlocks
Laboratories
Material selection based on compliance and operational durability
