Cavendish Engineers to build e2v cleanroom

Published: 19-Jul-2011

Project includes an ISO Class 6 facility, complete with six cleanrooms


Cavendish Engineers has been appointed by e2v technologies as the main contractor for design and build of a new cleanroom facility.

e2v is a leading global provider of specialist technology for high performance systems and equipment; delivering solutions, sub-systems and components for specialist applications within medical & science, aerospace & defence, and commercial & industrial markets.

The cleanroom project includes an ISO Class 6 facility, complete with six cleanrooms, a clean corridor, change room and air lock. The mechanical and electrical plant for this project was designed with stringent conditions on temperature, humidity and pressure.

Energy efficiency and low running costs are notoriously difficult to achieve in such demanding cleanroom environments, but with localised re-circulating air handling units both energy efficiency and reliability can be achieved. LED lighting provides a higher quality light for the cleanroom user for a much improved running cost against other existing lighting solutions.

The cleanroom facility is due for completion in October 2011.
