GMP-COMPLIANT PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTION HALL

REQUIREMENT

Pharmaceutical hall with GMP requirements and fast provision

Thermo Fisher needed a 5,500 m² pharmaceutical production hall that had to fulfil the highest hygienic and technical requirements, be GMP-compliant and be ready for operation in the shortest possible time. The need arose during the COVID pandemic, as the new hall was required for vaccine production. The aim was to create a building that would reliably support cleanroom technology, climate control, laboratory workstations and sensitive production processes.

The challenge was the tight time frame: The hall had to be planned, produced and assembled within a few weeks. At the same time, precise climate control, controlled air quality, flexible process zones and durable construction elements were required. The solution also had to be designed in such a way that it could be adapted or extended for further production lines or laboratory use at a later date.

RESULT

Pharmaceutical production hall with modular design in just 3 weeks

Astron developed a customised pharmaceutical production hall that went into production just three weeks after the start of the project. The 5,500 m² building is based on modular steel construction elements and utilises the energy-efficient LMR600 roof, which supports stable temperature and air conditions - essential for pharmaceutical production processes.

The hall enables the integration of clean room technology, precise climate control and laboratory areas. The supporting structure allows flexible modifications and creates space for later extensions or alternative utilisation scenarios. Energy-efficient wall elements and high-quality insulation reduce operating costs and ensure a hygienic, controlled working environment.

The result is a production building suitable for pharmaceuticals and laboratories that was realised very quickly and remains usable in the long term.
