Don't Do It Yourself


Understanding Cleanroom Design and Construction Requirements

If you browse through any bookstore, you will notice a large section devoted to “Do It Yourself” books on a variety of subjects. While this is a current rage, magnified by the poor state of the economy, there are still some projects best left to the experts.

Cleanroom design and construction comes to mind as one of those expert projects. Cleanroom design and construction is an engineering specific field and requires a qualified cleanroom designer and cleanroom construction manager.

The cleanroom project must be coordinated from start to finish, or disaster may ensue. One way to avoid this is to have one single, well-qualified, cleanroom contractor to integrate and coordinate the entire process and take responsibility for the final outcome to ensure a successful project.

The qualified cleanroom contractor must demonstrate a full working knowledge of cleanroom principles, procedures, materials, and practices. Of highly significant importance, the contractor must have a full understanding of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) design process and the specialized HVAC equipment involved in maintaining space conditions of temperature, humidity, and pressure within the cleanroom.
