The global response to Covid-19 demanded enormous volumes of specific, newly-developed liquid media. In response, T-SQUARED worked with Thermo Fisher Scientific to design, construct, fit-out and validate an entirely new LVL facility from the ground up, on a brownfield site beside their existing building – increasing their total manufacturing capacity by 70%.

This complex project houses two 10,000 litre glass lined vessels for the manufacture of corrosive and standard buffers and one 5,000 litre stainless steel vessel for the manufacture of alcohol and standard buffers, plus a major upgrade to their Water for Injection (WFI) system to ensure a guaranteed supply of high-quality pure water, with room for further expansion factored into the facility’s design to cope with global product demand for years to come.

Our uniquely integrated approach reduces costs and improves timescales. By collaborating closely with Thermo Fisher Scientific we were able to complete this essential manufacturing expansion significantly faster, and more efficiently, than traditionally managed builds.

We bring the right people to the table, at the right time, to solve problems and make decisions. That keeps our projects flexible, and in this case flexibility was essential. As the global pandemic developed, so did Thermo Fisher Scientific’s needs. Our multidisciplinary design team kept pace to update the design and maintain progress on the new facility.
