New building - Schott Pharma Serbia

Schott Pharma's new production plant is used to manufacture ampoules and vials made of glass. As project manager of the pharmaceutical fit-out, we supported the project in all phases. The costs of the fit-out amounted to a two-digit million sum. Our part of the project comprised an ISO 8 class clean room of approx. 1,600 square meters, ventilation systems for the clean room, laboratory and hot forming (production) as well as the supply of clean media (compressed air, process air, gas, oxygen), the electrical supply and the building management system.

These circumstances presented us with challenging aspects. On the one hand, it was not possible to install the large ventilation systems outside due to a lack of space. Secondly, the machine design in production meant that large volumes of air flowed from the clean room into the production area. Furthermore, the schedule was tight (one year until completion including acceptance and qualification) and access to the building for the pharmaceutical fit-out was limited - full access to the building was only granted four months before completion.

We found an open space above the clean room for the ventilation systems and installed them on top of each other on a steel platform.

We addressed the time constraints through precise coordination, parallel preparatory work and the right partners. Overall, we were an international project team with colleagues from Hungary, Serbia, Germany and Switzerland, which was an enriching experience.
