CARBON REDUCTION COLIN CLAYTON – PROJECT MANAGER, BES, UK
Upgraded services aid carbon reduction goals
The £4m project to design, construct, and commission a production facility for the global drug delivery devices manufacturer Recipharm has now been completed and handed over by BES, the specialist in controlled environments for the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Colin Clayton, BES project manager, tells us more.
Recipharm production facility in King’s Lynn. Work on the 4000 m2 facility located in
King’s Lynn has involved an extensive redesign and refurbishment of a large section of an existing assembly facility first designed and constructed by BES in 2014. This project originally created additional capacity to enable Recipharm to futureproof for expansion and the new adaptation allows us to realise that goal. The project included the refurbishment
and remodelling of approximately 70 per cent of the ground floor and 60 per cent of the first-floor plant areas including a new mezzanine level, increasing the buildings floor areas by approximately eight per cent. The works involved minimal alterations to the external fabric of the buildings but required additional transformer/switch gear, significant services work, and new mechanical services plant. Existing cleanrooms and fallow areas

have been stripped back, remodelled, and refurbished to accommodate the latest injection moulding and assembly capabilities, with the existing offices retained and used throughout. This latest significant upgrade of
specialist drug delivery device manufacturing facilities on the King’s Lynn site complements the current pressurised Metered Dose Inhaler components and device manufacturing facility which is housed on the same site but in a separate building.

How culture drives design The culture of our whole team is what delivers the difference between a functioning building and a functional building. The aim is to ensure the outcome reflects the client’s needs fully and operates the way they envisaged it would. This is achieved through close liaison and shared working for productive stakeholder engagement and integrated team working. There are two main elements that are key to this: incremental steps and communication, supported by an array of tools to drive and embed the process. The incremental steps follow industry standard best practice, agreeing objectives and increasing the level of detail as the maturity of the design evolves. There are seven stages - with stages 0 – 4 being the pre- construction design phases, 5 and 6 on-site
