QO Micro/Sterility Lab Consolidation

Precis provided process, automation, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering services for the renovation of an existing maintenance shop to consolidate several existing QO micro-sterility laboratories into one new space with shared support areas. The QO lab will support vaccine testing for the entire site and increase reliability and efficacy of overall facility function. Key components of the project included lab programming, lab and process equipment specification, hazard analyses, expansion of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) purified water loop, installation of a new mechanical penthouse, and design of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure to support lab processes. The automation design included instrumentation for the USP loop expansion, including service to new parts washers and autoclaves via an Allen-Bradley programmable logic controller (PLC) control system.
