Construction Management & Installation
Specialized construction management tailored for high-precision environments where "clean build" protocols are not optional.
A metrology lab is only as good as the execution of its design. During the construction phase, generic contractors often fail to understand the importance of dust management, seismic bracing, and the meticulous installation of isolated slabs. We manage the entire build process to ensure that technical integrity is maintained throughout.
From the first concrete pour to the installation of high-accuracy CMMs, CleanTech Facility Services provides the oversight needed for a zero-defect handover.
Clean Build Protocol
Multi-stage decontamination during construction to prevent hidden particulate buildup.
Rigging & Installation
Specialized handling and positioning of heavy, vibration-sensitive metrology equipment.
Vendor Management
Coordination of specialized trades including HVAC, structural, and electrical specialists.
The Discipline of Technical Build
Traditional construction methods create dust and debris that can compromise a precision lab before it even opens. Our "Clean Build" methodology involves:
- Progressive cleaning phases (Course, Fine, and Ultra-Fine)
- Sealing of HVAC ducts before and during installation
- HEPA-filtered construction zones to protect adjacent spaces
- Strict material management to eliminate outgassing risk
Construction Priorities
- Execution of isolated structural foundations
- Technical MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) integration
- Precision flooring and surface finishing
- Project timeline and milestone tracking
Installation Services
Once the shell is complete, the focus shifts to the installation of technical equipment. We coordinate with equipment manufacturers to ensure a seamless integration.
Equipment Rigging & Positioning
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and large optical tables require specialized rigging. We manage the movement of these assets into the lab, ensuring they are placed with sub-millimeter accuracy on their respective foundation pads or isolation systems.
Technical Utility Connections
Precision equipment often requires specialized utilities—ultra-dry compressed air, clean power circuits, or dedicated chilled water loops. We manage the final hookup and testing of these services to prevent contamination or operational failure.
Management Strengths
- Metrology-focused site safety
- Detailed QA/QC checklists
- Daily clean build monitoring
- Change order risk reduction
Project Outcomes
- On-time certification readiness
- Documented clean build history
- Zero-incident rigging
- Turnkey laboratory handover
Transitioning to Operations
Construction management doesn't end when the walls are painted. We manage the transition from "construction mode" to "calibration mode," ensuring the facility is meticulously cleaned and the environmental systems are balanced and running before the first sensitive instrument is unpacked.
Partner for Laboratory Construction
If you are building a new metrology lab or renovating an existing one, you need a partner who understands the difference between a warehouse and a world-class measurement facility.
