Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility

This project was delivered in three phases – preconstruction, early works and main works – across nearly 3,000 m² within an operational pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Broadmeadows.

The completed scope included new GMP change amenities on Level 3, installation of specialised clean water and gas systems, a bulk process system incorporating Clean-in-Place (CIP) and temperature control skids, and the integration of new fill-finish equipment, including a new aseptic filling line.

The program commenced with a successful Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase, where Built Environs provided cost planning, program development, design and buildability advice, and detailed site logistics planning.

Working within a live brownfield environment required careful planning to protect critical operations. Multiple work zones were established and coordinated with the client to minimise disruption, with key tie-ins, commissioning and high-impact activities scheduled around four major shutdown periods. This required detailed programming to support continuous 24/7 operations over several weeks.

Shutdown works included complex craning and rigging of structural steel, process vessels and fill-finish equipment through temporary roof and wall access openings. Cleanroom delivery incorporated Askin panel wall and ceiling systems and durable multi-layer epoxy flooring, with mechanical, fire, electrical, clean utilities, process waste and control systems installed while operations continued. Final tie-ins, commissioning and validation were completed during the planned shutdown windows.
