Installing a New Liquid Filling Line within an Operational Facility
Project Overview
GBA’s design-build team completed a 12,000-SF renovation of a pharmaceutical fill-and-finish facility, featuring the installation of a liquid vial filler and a dedicated equipment and component preparation room.
Key Equipment & Capabilities
- 1 Liquid Vial Filler (IMA) – 300 vials per minute, active RABs
- Support Equipment – Washer, tunnel, capper
- Autoclaves – 4 units for sterilization
- GPA Equipment Preparation Areas – Supporting seamless operations
Facility Expansion & Cold Chain Storage
Recognizing the need for expanded capabilities, the Client enlisted GBA to design and construct additional packaging areas and secure cold chain storage to support vaccine distribution. These enhancements were integrated seamlessly into the facility, ensuring the safety and stability of the vaccines during storage and transport.
Seamless Integration in an Active Facility
By managing design and construction, GBA ensured the seamless integration of all systems while the facility remained fully operational. Fire-rated and cleanroom construction barriers, combined with a negative air environment, effectively isolated construction areas to prevent airborne contaminants, particulate matter, or microorganisms from infiltrating active cleanroom spaces.
Power Management & Operational Continuity
The project required careful planning for power outages, transfers, and temporary emergency power provisions. Each shutdown was thoughtfully coordinated and executed to minimize disruption, with mission-critical scopes completed within tightly controlled timelines. Through strategic scheduling and robust communication with stakeholders, GBA ensured that every construction phase maintained the facility’s operational continuity and upheld its rigorous safety and performance standards.
Delivering Excellence in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
This renovation highlights GBA’s ability to deliver innovative, compliant solutions while navigating the challenges of a fully occupied facility. GBA’s expertise in pharmaceutical manufacturing environments ensures both functionality and excellence, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality, efficient project execution.
