Why start with a Consab consultation?

The consultation phase is crucial to avoid costly pitfalls and unexpected delays during the project. By involving us from the outset, you benefit from our expertise in:

Deconstruct preconceived ideas and validate your real needs.
Identify critical parameters specific to your processes and required tolerances.
Anticipate potential challenges related to your existing facilities or industry requirements.
Optimize initial investment and long-term costs by making the right choices from the outset.

1

Preliminary cost estimate

What is it?
This step is designed to evaluate the budget required for your controlled environment or cleanroom project.

How do we proceed?

Based on your initial requirements, we carry out rapid pre-engineering using our "rules of thumb" to size the equipment and systems required. This enables us to provide you with an initial budget estimate, accurate to within +/- 20 to 30%. We also clarify the impact of crucial choices (ISO level, type of architecture, pressure management, precision of environmental controls such as humidity or temperature) on the overall cost.

Your benefit

This estimate enables you to plan financially, compare different options and make informed decisions, well in advance of the massive investment.

2

Audit of existing installations

What is it?
We analyze the current state of your equipment, systems and processes to identify weaknesses, constraints and opportunities for improvement.

How do we go about it?

An in-depth site visit is often necessary to assess your facilities and identify logistical challenges or integration opportunities. We can provide you with a checklist to gather all relevant information, from electrical to existing plumbing.

Your benefit

This audit is an essential tool for ensuring compliance, optimizing the performance of your future controlled environment and anticipating risks, fitting in perfectly with a prior diagnostic phase.

Project feasibility study

What is it?
This study assesses the technical, economic and regulatory viability of your project. It enables you to validate your choices before making a major investment.

How do we proceed?

We carry out an in-depth analysis of the implications of your project, taking into account all critical parameters. This includes taking into account standards specific to your industry (e.g. Good Manufacturing Practices - GMP - for pharmaceuticals) and local construction peculiarities.

Your benefits

This stage forms the decision-making basis before moving on to design and detailed engineering, ensuring that your project is solid on all its foundations.

Initial clarification of requirements:

We start with an in-depth discussion to understand your processes, the critical parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.) and the cleanliness levels (ISO classification) you're aiming for. We'll help you refine these requirements, especially if you're not yet fully familiar with all the control possibilities.

Preliminary site assessment:

If deemed necessary, a site visit is carried out to assess existing facilities and identify any constraints or opportunities (location of units, access to services). This step can be completed with a checklist to gather any missing information.

Jesus Martin Del CampoOperations Executive Leader at Fresenius Kabi

“We had a cleanroom project that needed to be completed as quickly as possible, with minimal impact on our production line. Consab provided us with outstanding support on a turnkey project, enabling us to begin battery production at our Valcourt plant. Thank you to the Consab team for their collaboration on this project.”
