Case study 03 / 03
Sample Project — Quality Control Laboratory Upgrade
This sample shows how an existing quality control laboratory could be assessed, redesigned, and upgraded while testing continues in adjacent areas. The scenario assumes new instrumentation, a separated microbiology area, and upgraded laboratory utilities.
This is a sample case study. It shows how ALVEDA presents project work; it does not describe a completed ALVEDA project, and it names no client, location, date or measured result.

Services in scope
- 01Feasibility & StrategyTesting the technical and commercial case before capital is committed.
- 03Facility & Architectural DesignPharmaceutical architecture shaped by the process, the people and the flows between them.
- 06Process UtilitiesSteam, air, gases, water and drainage systems sized and specified for regulated production.
- 09Project ManagementOne point of control for scope, cost, schedule and interfaces.
- 11Construction & Site SupportSite engineering that keeps the build aligned with the GMP design.
Challenges
- 01
Phasing the works so that routine release testing continues without interruption.
- 02
Fitting fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, and their exhaust routes into an existing structure and a limited ceiling void.
- 03
Extending purified water, laboratory gases, and electrical supply to new instruments without shutting down live systems.
Engineering approach
- Step 01
Survey the existing building and utilities, and record the findings as a gap assessment against the new URS.
- Step 02
Zone sample receipt, wet chemistry, instrumentation, and microbiology, with separated flows where contamination risk requires it.
- Step 03
Model new services over the surveyed existing condition in BIM, and confirm routes through clash detection before site work starts.
- Step 04
Sequence construction in defined phases with temporary separations, permits to work, and a handover and qualification step for each phase.
Intended outcome
The approach is designed to let the laboratory take on new instruments and a separated microbiology area while routine testing continues. It is aimed at a phased handover in which each area is documented and ready for qualification.
Stated as design intent. A sample case study reports no measured result.
