Traditional / In-Situ

One of the most used solutions is traditional / in-situ construction.

Benefits and characteristics

For upgrading and retrofitting an existing room, we offer the choice of two structural finishes - modular panel finish or plasterboard finish, each offering different benefits and characteristics. The choice will be indicated by user preference, existing facilities and access.

Modular panel finish:

• The walls and ceilings are formed from our System I modular panel system
• Composite sandwich construction
• Pressure bonded Rockwool or PIR foam structural core, to provide different levels of insulation, fire ratings and structural integrity
• Pre-stressed steel skins with a smooth, "Foodsafe" hard PVC laminate facing on visible surfaces
• All external corners are finished with hard edging; internal corners are coved with white, soft edged snap-on coving and bonded moulded corner pieces
• All joints are sealed with a liquid weld
• Ceilings are supported by the panel walls, the host building’s roof or a combination of both
• Floors are typically finished with either vinyl or epoxy, with a 100 mm coving laid to a reducing strip to the wall, to provide a smooth ledge-free finish.

Plasterboard:

• The walls and ceilings are lined with plasterboard on a steel stud framework
• Smooth seamless protective high performance coating finish to walls and ceilings for EU GMP Grade D / ISO 14644 Class 7-8 environments
• 2 mm vinyl finish to walls and ceilings for EU GMP Grade C / ISO 14644 Class 6 and above. All corners will be finished with coving, before applying vinyl
• Floors are typically finished with either vinyl or epoxy, with a 100 mm coving laid to a reducing strip to the wall, to provide a smooth ledge-free finish.

Typical applications:

• New build facilities
• Upgrading existing facilities
• Extending existing facilities
• Project sites within an existing building
• Fixed room lay-out
• Existing room structures
• Retrofitting an existing room to cleanrooms, laboratories and other controlled environments
• Upgrading an existing room to cleanrooms, laboratories and other controlled environments.
