CLEANROOM DESIGN
The Design Process
The design process starts with understanding the clients requirements. This includes the size of the cleanroom, number of zones, cleanroom specification, lighting, air handling and equipment.
We use dedicated CAD software we design and simulate the complete cleanroom including all construction elements including air handling and HVAC. This allows the client to view a mock-up of the cleanroom before any work begins. These 3D CAD files are then used to generate the factory production instructions, bills of materials and shipping list, thus ensuring that the complete kit arrives to site for installation without the need for any modifications.
Step 1: Understand the Requirements
The NGS engineering team works directly with customers to understand their requirements and to convert this understanding into a specification for the design team.
Our designers then make use of state-of-the-art cleanroom design systems and apply a high level of experience and knowledge about cleanrooms to design 3D models of the cleanroom.
These models allow our customer to view the cleanroom and to confirm or advise on any changes that need be made to the initial design.
Step 2: Develop the design
All aspects of the cleanroom technology can be built into the design so that these can easily be visualized on the design. These design ‘layers’ can include:
- The cleanroom floor plan and wall layout;
- The reflective ceiling plan;
- Ducting, vents and equipment for HVAC systems;
- Lighting and electrical fixtures;
- Doors, air-showers, pass-throughs and any other cleanroom facilities.
These detailed designs ensure that all aspects of the cleanroom build are considered before components are manufactured and the before the final build is started.
Step 3: Realize the design
Once the designs are agreed and signed off, the cleanroom is manufactured and assembled to the highest cleanroom standards by our NGS engineers.
The detailed design is carefully followed to ensure that the end-product exactly meets the clients requirements and specifications and is ready for the validation tests.
