DRAWINGS

The Guardtech Project Team are focussed on working with you to achieve the most accurate and well considered design possible. Working with existing drawings or starting from scratch; taking your thoughts and ideas and transferring them into full CAD layouts. 3D modelling & virtual walk-throughs are available.

DESIGN PROCESSConsultation is the key to good design - a great Cleanroom is founded on a 2 way relationship between the client and the provider; Guardtech embrace this philosophy with their 5 stage design process:

1. LISTEN 2. ADVISE 3. REALISE 4. REVISE 5. DEVISE

Design is a process; just like a good book, it is re-written after several drafts. Following on from the initial client consultation Guardtech form a first draft, which is presented to all project stakeholders, and provides the basis for revision until all parties are satisfied to initiate the Installation phase.

DOCUMENTATION

Guardtech understand the es-sential nature of Regulatory Compliance and therefore en-sure all designs adhere to nec-essary standards, supported by detailed documentation. Working with or devising URS, FDS, IQ and OQ documenta-tion as well as supporting de-sign dossiers.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Focussed on driving the prog-ress of your project and pro-viding accurate forecasting to minimise disruption to your everyday business activities. A dedicated project manager will devise a working schedule and provide you with progress re-ports every step of the way.


Installation is performed by experienced Guardtech engineers and approved, fully trained sub-contractors. The Guardtech in-stallation engineers are professionally trained in Cleanroom Construction and have many years of experience, not only in-stalling controlled environments but also servicing and operat-ing within them. This intense and consistent focus provides the confidence that throughout the course of the installation the application and processes of the customer is central to all deci-sions made or questions raised. Utilising the Guardtech Instal-lation Engineers offers far tighter control of the project, and a quicker and consistent installation whilst presenting substantial cost savings.

AIR SHOWERS

The greatest source of contamination to your Cleanroom is personell. Air Showers are installed at the entrance to controlled areas and are used as a means of removing and minimising particulate from the operator when moving from one room to another or upon entry to the Cleanroom. The units are normally fabricated in Stainless Steel and are self-contained with high velocity HEPA filtered air blow jets which bathe the user when walking through. Interlocked doors at each end ensure particle entrapment during operation, and return grilles filter exhaust air to contain particles and maintain critical control within your Cleanroom.

BENEFITS INCLUDE: • Disposable prefilter • Stainless Steel air nozzles • Energy Efficient • Microprocessor controller • High velocity shower jets • Emergency stop buttons


LAMINAR FLOW

Laminar Air Flow units are used throughout industry to cre-ate a clean working environment. Laminar Air Flow Units may offer either horizontal or vertical airflow patterns. They incor-porate as a minimum two stage filtration with “course” pre fil-tration and final absolute HEPA or ULPA filtration to 99.997% efficiency at 0.5micron. They can be fabricated in a range of materials such as Stainless Steel or Polypropylene and also available with a range of monitoring and control systems.

DOWN FLOW BOOTHS

To provide operator and product protection, whilst protecting against cross-contamination for work with bulk quantities of fine powders and volatile liquids.

Typical applications include decanting, weighing and sampling of fine powders such as special-ity chemicals and pharmaceutical ingredients. Fea-tures include:

• MELs down to 0.02mg/m3 within a specif- ied safe working zone• Designed to order• Instrumentation as required• Sectional construction for easy delivery & assembly on site

FUME CUPBOARDS & DOWN FLOW BOOTHS CAN BE MANUFACTURED TO CLIENTS’ OWN DIMEN-SIONAL REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING EXTRA WIDTH, DEPTH AND INTERNAL HEIGHT.


NITROGEN GENERATOR

Gas generators eliminate the need for costly, inconvenient high pressure gas cylinders in the work place. With or with-out an integral oil free compressor, the generators deliver a continuous flow of gas without the need for secondary puri-fication. Gas is produced at low pressures thus removing the need for high pressure cylinders or liquid dewars and a con-stant uninterrupted gas supply increases efficiency and re-duces downtime on cylinder change-over and instrument cali-bration.Gas generators can be installed on or under a bench within close proximity of the instrument eliminating the need for long gas piping from cylinders located elsewhere. One delivery of a Gas generator will give 10+ years supply of on-site gas from the same power as 1 or 2 light bulbs, com-pared to the rising and on-going delivery and transportation costs associated with cylinder gases.
