Laboratory Design & Engineering
Bridging the gap between architectural intent and technical reality through specialized engineering for metrology environments.
Designing a metrology lab requires a multidisciplinary engineering approach where mechanical, structural, and electrical systems must work in perfect harmony. Generic building standards are insufficient for facilities that require sub-degree temperature stability and micron-level vibration control.
CleanTech Facility Services provides technical engineering solutions that address the specific physics of calibration and measurement spaces.
Precision HVAC
Ultra-stable temperature and humidity control systems.
Structural Stability
Vibration-damped flooring and isolated equipment mass blocks.
EMI/RFI Shielding
Mitigating electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
Engineering the Invisible
The success of a metrology lab depends on how well the facility manages "invisible" variables. Our engineering services focus on:
- Laminar airflow design to eliminate thermal layering
- Acoustic dampening for sensitive mass and optical measurements
- Clean electrical power with isolated grounding
- Redundant control systems for 24/7 environmental stability
Design Philosophy
- Integration of technical equipment into structural design
- Scalable mechanical infrastructure
- Focus on data-driven environmental performance
- Adherence to ISO 14644 and metrology-specific standards
Key Engineering Disciplines
We provide a comprehensive engineering package that covers every aspect of the laboratory's environmental performance.
Mechanical & HVAC Engineering
We design custom air handling units (AHUs) capable of maintaining temperatures within +/- 0.1°C or better. This involves sophisticated control logic, variable speed drives, and precision reheating coils strategically placed to ensure uniform conditions across the measurement zone.
Structural & Vibration Mitigation
Vibration is the enemy of coordinate metrology. We engineer specialized foundation systems, including isolated slabs and pneumatic isolation systems for high-accuracy CMMs and optical tables, ensuring that external noise does not reach the instrument.
Lighting & Electrical Systems
Metrology requires specific lighting conditions to prevent thermal heat gain while providing the necessary lux levels for technical work. Our electrical engineering includes clean power systems that protect sensitive electronics from voltage sag and electromagnetic noise.
