Aeronautical Cleanroom Suite & Firewall Partitions

Background:

Using our unique experience of cleanroom design and construction and fire-rated enclosures, CREST were awarded the project after winning a competitive tender through a principal contractor.

Process:

The suite of new cleanrooms were built to Grade D classification and the fire-rated enclosures were designed to be clean not classified.

Project Delivery:

We installed 6m high freestanding walls with integrated flush cleanroom windows connected to an aluminium T-Bar suspended ceiling grid which formed the plenum and low-level return air cooling coils.

The return air ducts were formed using 50mm FM approved Puracore cleanroom walls to a height of 6m and we also provided temperature-controlled cleanrooms with Eurobond panels to a height of 8m.

The integration of a 4.5m high viewing gallery into the walls with rapid roller doors below and for interlocked doors presented a significant challenge, one which we met with enthusiasm.

The fire rated enclosures were fitted with roller shutter doors and hinged doors certified to LPS certification. Various size semi-flush Puracore doors were installed along with rapid rise doors ranging in size (3.5m high x 3.0m wide and 5.0m wide x 5.5m high), supported laterally by the Puracore walls with no need for additional structural steel members.

As a result of the team’s expertise, the installation was completed in 21 weeks, leaving the client satisfied with the final product.
