Process engineering as a core discipline in plant construction
As a general planner, we integrate future process engineering aspects across all trades
Whether it’s building design, technical infrastructure, automation or project management issues – the future production plant is at the center of all project phases and defines the requirements for all subcontractors. This helps us ensure that the plant design meets the specific requirements and is cost-effective while also complying with regulatory requirements, legal specifications and quality standards.
Some key areas include:
- Product category, plant type, scale
- GMP requirements such as cleanroom classes, hygienic design, sterile requirements
- Logistics, material and personnel flow
- Containment requirements (OEL/AGW), biosafety level, explosion protection, fire protection, authority requirements
- Available space
- Scheduling (e.g., deadline-driven projects)
- Shutdown strategy for modifications in existing facilities
Our experts have many years of experience in the field of process engineering and can advise you on integrated process planning, scheduling, cost estimates and subcontractor coordination.
Our clients play a central role in the execution of projects and are always involved in the preparation of the specifications as well as the plant design. This allows us to build on the existing know-how and to make the best possible use of synergies with existing plants.
