4,500m² extension to the existing Abbott Diagnostics facility in Longford providing additional ISO 8 cleanroom capacity and temperature-controlled warehousing linked to the existing warehouse.
Project Overview
The project comprised a 4,500m² extension providing additional ISO 8 cleanroom capacity, 2,500m² warehouse with loading dock facilities and a 1,200m² coldroom area with high bay racking. We also provided a new high specification entrance lobby with an architectural feature staircase, technical floor, bathrooms and fallow space. All new services were linked to existing plant rooms.
The project is located and linked to the existing Abbott production facilities in Lisnamuck, Longford, which had approximately 700 personnel working on site prior to the expansion. Extensive liaison and coordination were undertaken with the facilities team to maintain the operational manufacturing facility during construction.
The project, managed through BIM and carried out on a live pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, secured FM Global approval.
