Pharmaceutical Engineering & Project Consulting
ALVEDA delivers integrated pharmaceutical engineering and project solutions from feasibility and concept design through GMP compliance, validation and project delivery.
Services
Each service can be engaged on its own or combined into one coordinated scope, with consistent deliverables and a single line of technical responsibility.
The study converts a product portfolio and target markets into a facility concept that can be costed and compared. Capacity, dosage forms, site options and regulatory targets are assessed together. The result is a recommendation with CAPEX/OPEX ranges, key risks and a realistic schedule.
Concept design sets the block layout, GMP zoning and the separation of personnel, material and waste flows. The master plan reserves space for future lines, utility corridors and expansion without disrupting ongoing operations. Decisions made at this stage carry through every later discipline.
Architecture and engineering are developed as one coordinated design, from basis of design through detailed drawings. Finishes, room geometry, structure and services are selected for cleanability, maintenance access and GMP operation. Each discipline is modeled in BIM and checked for clashes before issue.
Cleanroom design starts from the process and the cleanliness grade each operation requires. Room classification, pressure cascades, airlocks and gowning are laid out as one system, together with wall, ceiling and floor construction. Designs are prepared with consideration for applicable international GMP guidelines and project-specific regulatory requirements.
HVAC is the system that holds a cleanroom in its classified state. Zoning, air change rates, HEPA filtration and AHU configuration are derived from room data sheets and the pressure cascade. Controls and monitoring are defined early, so BMS and EMS scope is clear before procurement.
Process engineering defines equipment, batch sizes and material handling for each dosage form. Pharmaceutical utilities such as PW, WFI, clean steam and compressed air are designed as critical systems, with sampling points and sanitization in mind. P&IDs and utility balances tie the process to the building.
GMP review runs alongside design, not after it. Layouts, flows, finishes and systems are checked against applicable international GMP guidelines and the requirements of the target markets. Gaps are recorded, assigned and closed, so compliance questions are resolved on the drawings rather than during inspection.
Validation is planned at the start of the project, not assembled at the end. A risk-based CQV approach links the URS to DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ, so each requirement is traced to a test. Protocols, execution records and reports are prepared for approval by the owner’s quality unit.
Pharmaceutical projects combine many disciplines, vendors and approval steps. Project management holds scope, budget, schedule and risk in one controlled system, with clear interfaces between design, procurement, construction and validation. Stakeholders receive regular, factual reporting against an agreed baseline.
Procurement support turns the design into packages that vendors can price on the same basis. Bids are evaluated technically against the URS, and deviations are resolved before award. Vendor documents are reviewed, and factory acceptance tests are witnessed before equipment ships.
Cleanroom and utility works depend on details: sealing, slopes, weld quality and penetrations. Site support covers inspections, RFIs, submittal review and coordination between trades, with cleanliness controlled during construction. Deviations from approved drawings are recorded and resolved before qualification begins.
Turnkey delivery brings design, procurement, construction, commissioning and qualification under a single integrated scope. Interfaces that usually sit between separate contracts are managed within one contract and one schedule. The owner receives a completed facility with its qualification documentation ready for review.
Project Lifecycle
Decisions made at feasibility shape what is qualified at the end. We carry one technical basis from the first study through commissioning and qualification.
Assess the product portfolio, capacity, site options and a feasible investment envelope.
Capture user requirements, regulatory basis and design criteria in an approved URS.
Set the master plan, phasing, budget, schedule and validation strategy.
Develop coordinated architecture, cleanroom, HVAC, utilities and process design through DQ.
Specify, tender and evaluate equipment packages; witness FAT before shipment.
Construct and install to approved drawings under documented site quality controls.
Start up, test, adjust and balance systems; complete SAT and punch lists.
Execute IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and compile evidence that systems perform as intended.
Support handover, SOPs, maintenance planning, periodic requalification and change control.
Industries
Each sector carries its own product risks, cleanliness requirements and utility demands. The engineering basis is set accordingly.
Expertise
Architecture, HVAC, utilities, process and automation are resolved together in one coordinated model, not handed over in sequence.

GMP & Compliance
Compliance considerations should shape the layout, the airflow strategy and the documentation from the first design stage. Adding them after construction costs time, budget and requalification effort.

Insights
Planned articles on GMP, cleanrooms, HVAC and validation. The topics are listed below; the content is in preparation.
01Cleanrooms
In preparationThis article will examine how pressure cascades for cleanroom suites are defined at concept stage: differential pressure targets between cleanliness grades, airlock arrangements, door leakage and room tightness. It will also look at why a cascade that exists only on drawings can be lost during air balancing.
02Validation
In preparationThis article will examine how the clarity, testability and traceability of a User Requirements Specification (URS) set the scope of DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ. It will also show how vague or unmeasurable requirements turn into rework, deviations and longer test protocols.
03GMP
In preparationThis article will examine how personnel, material, product and waste flows are mapped at concept stage: gowning sequences, airlock placement, and separation of clean and return routes. It will also cover why these decisions are hard to reverse once structure and HVAC zoning are built around the layout.
