Design

This project involved Quadric’s full design and construction services. The purpose of the building was to operate as an analytical laboratory in the areas of food, sugar, pharmaceuticals, environment and genetics. It was required to operate with a controlled temperature and environment, including positive air flows from the A/C system. All fixtures and fittings were installed to meet necessary building code requirements including BCA, fire services, work place health & safety, exit paths and maintenance requirements. Amdel undertakes delicate and sensitive work within its existing laboratory so work was undertaken in a way that did not impact on this work and/or the equipment used. Appropriate work practices were also undertaken by the contractors to protect existing Amdel operations. Very specific atmospheric conditions were required in each chamber including relative humidity, temperature, air pressure and lighting. Extensive medical and explosive gases, fume cupboards, purging and entrapment zones were involved and great care was taken throughout the project.
