What We Build

Cleanroom Construction
and Modular Cleanroom Systems

A cleanroom is defined by what isn't in the air, and almost everything that puts particles into that air comes from the building rather than the process. Joints that don't seal. Surfaces that shed. Penetrations cut after the panels went up. Corners that can't be cleaned properly. Cleanroom construction is a detailing discipline, not a fabrication one, and that's where most projects go wrong.

A modular cleanroom is built from prefabricated wall and ceiling panels with sealed tongue and groove or cam lock joints, assembled inside an existing building or within a new steel envelope. It goes up dry, it can be reconfigured later, and every surface is flush and cleanable from the day it's handed over.

We handle the panel system, the structure and the envelope. HVAC, filtration and validation are specialist disciplines and we coordinate with whoever you're using for those rather than claiming them. Being clear about that avoids the gaps that cause problems on multi contractor projects.

Tell us the ISO classification you're targeting and what happens inside, and the panel specification, joint detail and layout follow from there. That conversation happens before anything is ordered, because a cleanroom that fails validation is far more expensive than one designed properly.

What Decides It

What Makes
Cleanroom Construction Work

Joints and Sealing

This is where cleanrooms fail. Panels rarely fail, joints do. Tongue and groove profiles have to seat fully, sealant goes into the groove as the panel is placed rather than smeared on afterwards, and every corner needs coving. A single unsealed joint is a particle route and no amount of filtration compensates for it.

Penetrations Planned, Not Cut

Every duct, cable and pipe crossing the envelope is a potential breach. Positions get agreed with your HVAC contractor on drawings before panels are ordered. Retrofitted penetrations are the single most common cause of pressure failures, and sealing one properly after the fact is far harder than placing it correctly first.

Reconfigurable Later

Processes change, product lines shift, and classifications get upgraded. A modular cleanroom can be extended, partitioned differently or partly dismantled and rebuilt. Panels come apart and go back together, which conventional blockwork and plaster cannot offer without demolition and months of downtime.

Dry Build, No Curing

Panel systems go up dry. No plaster, no curing, no drying time, and no wet trades introducing moisture into a space that will later be humidity controlled. Installation is faster and cleaner, which matters when the cleanroom sits inside a facility that's still operating around it.

Step By Step

Our Cleanroom Construction
Process

01

Classification and Requirement Study

Everything starts with the ISO classification you're targeting and what actually happens inside. Process flow, personnel and material routes, gowning sequence, equipment layout, and any GMP or regulatory requirements. Every cleanroom construction project we take on begins here, because classification drives panel specification, air change requirements and layout together.

02

Coordination With Your HVAC and Validation Team

Filtration positions, duct routes, return air paths, pressure cascade and penetration positions get agreed on drawings before anything is ordered. This is the step most projects skip, and it's why so many cleanrooms end up with services cut through finished panels.

03

Panel and Structure Design

Panel type, core material, thickness and finish specified against your classification and cleaning regime. Where a new building is needed, the steel structure gets designed alongside it to IS 800:2007 standards. Substrate flatness and support spacing get checked, because panels fitted to an out of true structure never seal properly.

04

Fabrication

Structural components are made at our in house facility in Paraniputhur, Chennai under controlled conditions, with dimensional checks before dispatch. As modular cleanroom manufacturers we control what leaves the factory, so what arrives on site is what was drawn rather than something adjusted in the field.

05

Installation and Sealing

Panels set, seated and sealed as the work proceeds rather than sealed afterwards. Coving at every junction, closures at every corner, penetrations sealed as they're made. Sequencing matters here, because a joint you can't reach once the next panel is up is a joint that never gets sealed properly.

06

Inspection and Handover

Joint and seal inspection throughout, then handover with as built drawings, panel specifications and maintenance guidance. Your validation team gets the documentation they need rather than having to reverse engineer what was built.

Sector By Sector

Cleanroom Construction
Built Around Your Process

Pharmaceutical and bulk drug. GMP compliance, pressure cascade between zones, separated material and personnel flow, and finishes that survive validation. Genome Valley and the Patancheru belt bring particular expectations, and the layout has to genuinely prevent cross contamination rather than just document it.

Electronics and semiconductor. ESD provision, tighter particle classification, and vibration considerations where metrology equipment is involved. Cleanliness standards here are usually stricter than pharma.

Food processing. Washdown resistant panels, drainage designed into the floor rather than cut in later, and separation between wet and dry zones built into the envelope.

Research and testing. A PCR lab, a QC lab and a materials testing facility have very different requirements. Our laboratory construction work starts from the equipment list and the workflow rather than a standard room layout.

Every prefabricated laboratory and cleanroom we build gets designed around what goes inside it. Fume extraction routes, gowning sequences, equipment access, service risers and expansion provision all shape the layout before the panel order is placed.

If expansion is likely, tell us at design stage. End wall framing and panel junctions can be detailed so an additional bay goes in later without disturbing the validated space next door, which is far cheaper than reworking a finished envelope.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
Cleanroom Construction

There's no fixed figure. ISO classification is the biggest driver, then area, panel type and thickness, door and pass box count, and how much structural work is needed. An ISO 8 packing room and an ISO 5 sterile suite of the same size sit at very different levels. Tell us the classification and what happens inside and we'll price the actual room.
A cleanroom built from prefabricated wall and ceiling panels with sealed joints, assembled inside an existing building or a new steel envelope. It goes up dry with no wet trades, and it can be reconfigured or extended later, which conventional blockwork cannot.
They measure how many particles are permitted in the air, and a lower number means a cleaner room. ISO 7 and 8 come up most often for pharmaceutical and general lab work. Stricter classes like ISO 5 need considerably more filtration, more air changes and tighter construction detailing throughout.
No, and we'd rather say so plainly. We build the panel system, the structure and the envelope. HVAC, filtration and validation are specialist disciplines, and we coordinate closely with whoever you're using for those. Penetration positions and pressure requirements get agreed on drawings before anything is ordered.
Yes, provided it's designed for it from the start. Surface finishes, coving, flush junctions, separated material and personnel flow and pressure cascade all get worked out at design stage. Tell us the regulatory requirements at the outset so they shape the design rather than getting retrofitted before an audit.
Almost always joints, penetrations or pressure. An unsealed joint, a duct cut through a finished panel, or a door that doesn't hold its seal. Panels themselves rarely fail. That's why sealing happens as panels are placed rather than as a finishing operation afterwards.
Often yes, and a good share of our work is exactly that. We check the structure first, whether it can carry the panel system, whether the substrate is flat and true enough for panels to seal, and whether there's space for HVAC integration. Some retrofitting usually comes with it.
PUF gives the best thermal performance per millimetre. PIR improves fire behaviour. Rockwool is considerably better on fire resistance where that's a requirement. The right answer depends on whether thermal efficiency, fire rating or cost matters most for your facility.
Not usually. Sensitive equipment needs the sealed, controlled environment in place first, since dust and particles from ongoing work can affect calibration. We sequence the installation so equipment access is possible without compromising the envelope.
Yes, and it's one of the main reasons to build modular. Panels come apart and go back together. If you tell us expansion is likely at design stage, end wall framing and junctions get detailed so an additional bay goes in without disturbing the validated space next door.
Ask how they handle joints and coving, and ask to see a completed room a few years old. Ask when penetrations get positioned, before or after panels. Ask what scope they're actually quoting, since packages vary enormously. And check whether they've built to your ISO classification before.
Removable panels at key positions, giving technicians access to ducts, wiring and filters without disturbing sealed surfaces. Walkable ceilings where the design allows. This gets planned at layout stage, because access cut in afterwards compromises the envelope.
