A key stipulation was mini environments within the cleanroom; these were accommodated by specifically designed rooms with internal doors and transfer hatches that protected the integrity of the cleanroom at all times.

Why did the client choose a modular cleanroom solution from Connect 2 Cleanrooms?

They were attracted by the short lead time and speed of installation, as this meant they could soon be capitalising on their production. Also, the use hardwall modular cleanroom construction plus the inclusion of the floor kick plates surrounding the exterior walls of the cleanroom created a high integrity cleanroom making it an attractive option.

Another benefit was the quality of Connect 2 Cleanrooms’ Closed-Loop Control System. The system allows the client to store audit trail data for their customers and has automated monitoring, recording and control of the particulate level within the cleanroom. This, combined with the energy saving advantages and the lower cost per square metre compared with a traditional build style, made the modular cleanroom a very attractive option.
