Pharmaceutical Engineering
Design & Engineering
We provide integrated pharmaceutical engineering and design services supporting projects from early concepts to fully detailed execution. Our multidisciplinary teams combine process, facility, automation, and compliance expertise to create scalable, efficient, and GMP-compliant production environments.
With extensive experience across life sciences and advanced manufacturing, KeyPlants helps clients optimize facility performance, reduce project risk, and accelerate project delivery through practical and future-ready engineering solutions.
Design Study Packages
KeyPlants supports life science projects from early concept development to detailed engineering with design studies covering planning, simulation, containment and process risk. Our approach helps create safe, scalable and compliant manufacturing facilities.
Developing early facility and process concepts into a defined design basis, including layouts, utilities, automation, site planning and execution strategy.
Translating the approved design into detailed engineering across cleanrooms, HVAC, mechanical, electrical, structural and life safety disciplines.
Planning sites for long term capacity, expansion and investment needs across infrastructure, logistics, utilities, material flows and future production requirements.
Using digital models to evaluate capacity, identify bottlenecks, compare scenarios and optimize processes, equipment utilization and production flows.
Defining containment strategies and technical solutions to protect personnel, product and environment based on process requirements and exposure limits.
Identifying potential process and facility risks during design and defining measures to prevent failures, reduce exposure and improve operational safety.
Benefits of Pods
Turnkey Delivery of Operational Pods
Turnkey Delivery of Operational Pods
Each pod will be installed within a shell building or warehouse, and will be equipped with dedicated air handling, a building management system (BMS), fire protection, and electrical and process utility distribution. Included in KeyPlants’ integrated solution:
✓ KeyPlants standard pod
✓ Engineering
✓ Automation
✓ Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
✓ Packing and Transport
✓ Installation
✓ Commissioning
✓ Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ)
Delivery Within Weeks’ Lead Times
Delivery Within Weeks’ Lead Times
With a simplified procurement process, standardised design, and prefabrication, our pod solution allows for fast lead times. These can be as soon as a few weeks. KeyPlans' solutions will ensure that you receive a facility that meets your project timelines, without compromising on quality.
Flexible
Flexible
Walls can be added or removed, to create large ball rooms spanning several pods.
Because of its process technology agnostic feature, pods offer you the flexibility to choose your own equipment, or take advantage of our capabilities in process design and equipment integration. With the option of changing functionality, for example by adding or removing walls, pods can facilitate many different processes, that can be applied across the pharmaceutical and biomanufacturing industry.
Scalable
Scalable
There’s no limit to future facility expansion with pods, as they can be stacked vertically to create multiple floors. Not only do pods have the capacity to be scaled-up, they can also be scaled-out, increasing opportunites to expand.
Pods Cut Lead Times to Weeks
Our portable on-demand (pod) facilities dramatically reduces the time it takes to set up new production, speeding up the development of cutting-edge therapies, and increasing production flexibility. pods can be on site and ready for operation anywhere in the world, in just few weeks for a single pod, compared to a year or more to build a conventional facility from scratch. They also offer maximum flexibility in production. pods give manufacturers:
Start small scale production immediately, with the flexibility to scale out as needed.
Benefit from the advantages of a fixed price.
A turnkey, integrated approach instead of separate pieces of a facility and process engineering puzzle.
Reduce the time and complexity of specification, bidding, procurement and permitting.
Pods offer a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
