UKHSA
Biocontainment Facilities
Porton Down is where the UK Health Security Agency protects the country against infectious diseases, with more specialised containment facilities at CL2 and CL3 levels in one place than anywhere else in the UK.
UKHSA (formerly Public Health England) has trusted T-SQUARED to deliver over a hundred of their critical facilities at Porton Down since 2012. Our expert teams have designed and built 18 world-class CL3 biocontainment laboratories on the site, with more already in progress.
Porton Down is one of the most secure sites in the UK, and continually operational. Every project delivered there by T-SQUARED is a ‘live site’. Our expertise and experience allows us to retain the integrity of sealed environments even during construction next-door.
T-SQUARED’s integrated ‘end-to-end’ process ensures that we are able to deliver these confidential, nationally-critical projects on spec, on budget and often ahead of time. We collaborate with UKHSA on scoping and design, using some of their own key containment features. We provide detail-orientated, specialised construction services that don’t disrupt the rest of the site. Our expert validation teams are involved right from the scoping stage, ensuring that we cover every detail. And we maintain and service the facilities after completion – because nobody knows them better.
We pick T-SQUARED because we trust them. We know the end product works. And the UK taxpayer gets good value from them. We’ve done the maths.
