A clearly defined budget, solid alignment of expectations and the will to succeed were key elements in LBP Engineering’s installation of ten new climate rooms at a large pharmaceutical company plant.
Ten small climate rooms, each measuring around 10 square meters, for stocking pressurised bottles of medicine to treat skin infections – this was what LBP Engineering were tasked with constructing at the end of 2016.
Each room has temperature and humidity control systems and needed to be constructed as separate fire-proof sections as add-ons to an existing building containing eight other climate rooms. This called for demolition of some old warehouse buildings as well as the relocation of a large nitrogen tank, explains LBP project manager, Morten G. Hansen.
“All of this needed to be done while the rest of the plant was in full operation, so we had to seal some areas off and move the nitrogen tank in a manner which would not disturb our client’s production. As part of our preparation for the task, we also had to consider that the construction site would see quite a bit of traffic via a fire lane,” says Morten G. Hansen.
Constructing the climate rooms was part of the client’s efforts to keep up with good manufacturing practices and requirements needed for approval by licensing offices. This had to be considered already in the early design phase.
“We delivered a strong conceptual design and early on were aligned on expectations with the client and warehouse workers who are the daily users of the new rooms. Furthermore, we built up a solid cooperation with another consultant on black building utilities, ventilation, and other technical disciplines. Finally, the budget was clearly defined in advance. This resulted in a design- to-cost approach which allowed us to keep our focus on the project implementation,” explains Morten G. Hansen.
“The entire project was carried out in less than a year, effectively and without delay. We even managed to stay below budget, and the climate rooms were approved for use with no issue. I put this down to our agile and pragmatic approach. If we know in advance what sort of budget we have to maneuver within, and what the time schedule prescribes, we never say ‘that willl be difficult’. Instead, we say ‘that is doable’. Then we go to work,” says Morten G. Hansen.
