HOPE: Cleanroom Solutions facilitating greatness with elite large-scale turnkey construction builds
September 9, 2024
Guardtech Group’s complex cleanroom facility construction brand celebrating their role as facilitators of groundbreaking Life Science and R&D innovation
THE GUARDTECH GROUP’S large-scale cleanroom construction business Cleanroom Solutions are facilitators of greatness.
It’s a badge of honour for the Group’s heritage turnkey cleanroom construction company to have a long association with some of the brightest minds in Life Sciences, High-Tech Engineering and groundbreaking Research & Development programmes all over the United Kingdom.
The Guardtech Group recently launched a new campaign celebrating the amazing work their clients do from the various platforms provided by Guardtech – be that larger cleanroom facilities, smaller modulars or Cleancube shipping container cleanrooms.
Cleanroom Solutions, founded by Jan Pyrgies in 2000, was acquired by Guardtech Cleanrooms back in 2021, which then led to the birth of the Guardtech Group as the umbrella company under which Cleanroom Solutions (large-scale turnkey facilities) and Guardtech Cleanrooms (modular cleanrooms) now sit.
Pyrgies, now a non-executive Director at Guardtech, helped provide world-class facilities for a number of elite higher education institutions, including the University of Cambridge’s Graphene Centre, the University of Glasgow’s James Watt Nanofabrication Centre, the University of Exeter’s School of Physics and the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics & Astronomy – as well as recent Guardtech Group projects for the likes of Royal Holloway and the University of Plymouth.
All of the institutions are utilising Cleanroom Solutions facilities to conduct groundbreaking R&D work, from microwave semiconductor device fabrication and graphene-based research to other innovative electronics explorations.
And this idea of facilitating greatness – of providing a platform for brilliant minds to improve the world – is something the Guardtech Group are keen to persevere with.
“We have the most exceptional clients,” says Guardtech Group Commercial Director Mark Wheeler. “The new campaign is our way of celebrating this with the wider world.”
The ‘banner term’ for the Cleanroom Solutions leg of the campaign is HOPE – which stands for Helping Our Partners Excel.
“This is what we believe our controlled environments do,” Wheeler continues. “We provide cleanroom solutions for the UK’s brightest minds, so they can excel at what they do and, ultimately, bring new ideas, innovations and hope to people all over the world.”
Cleanroom Solutions are currently undertaking a number of major projects at home and overseas – as well as putting the finishing touches on a 1,650sqm ISO8 Aerospace project, they are developing a 775sqm Grade C&D facility for the manufacture of sterile and non-sterile biocides in the North East, delivering a 450sqm ISO7 Aerospace cleanroom in Gloucester and a 240sqm ISO7 build for diffusion bonded heat exchanger processing.
Cleanroom Solutions offer a wide range of services for clients – with attention to detail and complexity at the heart of every turnkey project.
The design process features in-depth consultation from day one, with a dynamic collaboration between the client and experienced Guardtech Group cleanroom construction specialists critical to every successful project.
From 2D & 3D modelling and computational flow dynamics (CFD) to facility Lidar Scanning, Cleanroom Solutions adopt industry-leading practice and utilise state-of-the-art technology to develop your facility the way you need it.
Cleanroom Solutions always aim to act as principal contractors wherever possible, taking responsibility to implement rigorous Construction Design & Management Regulations (CDM).
The Guardtech Group’s turnkey specialists utilise Building Information Modelling (BIM) and a meticulously tailored RIBA Framework to ensure each stage gate of a project is water-tight and that every aspect of the design marries with the cleanroom installation seamlessly.
“A Cleanroom Solutions project is all about complexity and consultation,” adds Wheeler. “We don’t want to insist on what our clients must have – we want them to build a partnership with them.
“We’re here to advise and offer counsel – we want our clients to feel confident they can leanon a team with vast experience and knowhow. But part of our role as facilitators of greatness is being able to listen – because no-one knows what makes your business great better you.”
