HWI Global, a clean-room design engineering and construction services providing company, declared that it has started the building of an ISO 7 clean-room measuring around 10,000 ft2 for Powerex. The new clean room will be added to the 90,000 ft2 production facility and corporate offices building of Powerex.
HWI Global has commenced the initial design and engineering for the new construction in the fall of 2010. It performed a complete evaluation of the tenant improvements in the present building before earmarking the clean production space. The general construction division of the company had started its work in December 2010 and has provided a range of services such as demolition of total mechanical and electrical setup, repositioning of a 200-ton chiller, erection of a main gas line for a distance of 1,300 linear-feet, and completed the upgrades for plumbing and fire extinguishing systems. The company has also relocated the equipment of the present IPP Integrated Power Product production and Stem Cell low level production cell locations of Powerex.
The new clean room is anticipated to be certified by the middle of September and will be ready with the equipment for operations from the beginning of October this year.
