Industries
Sectors and facility types.
Sterile manufacturing, oral solid dosage, biotechnology and laboratories each set different requirements for containment, cleanliness and utilities. The engineering basis is defined per sector and per product.
Sector index
Engineering for regulated facilities.
Each sector carries its own product risks, cleanliness requirements and utility demands. The engineering basis is set accordingly.
