Palo Alto, CA

Palo Alto, CA

Type: FEH Hutches 4, 5, & 6

Type: Laboratory & Manufacturing Size: Robotics Lab, 1,000 SF, Chemistry Lab, 10,000 SF

AlfaTech provided a feasibility study for the FEH Hutches 4, 5 and 6 project to define alternate system solutions for the HVAC design. The project was in the final design phase using a single unit air handling system. The distribution system was intended to occupy space that the owner wanted to reserve for future use. We provided a conceptual design study to evaluate how much space could be saved using a different system. The study included pros and cons of each system, sketches for cost estimating and peer review of existing design documents.

Facilities: • Chemistry Lab • Robotics Lab • WFI/USP Water System

Oread is a contract provider of comprehensive contract drug development, clinical trial support, finished product manufacturing and packaging, and regulatory support for the pharmaceutical industry. AT provided full engineering services for a robotics dissolution laboratory and the installation of a new formulation chemistry facility with a cGMP WFI system (1,000- gallon storage capacity). Extensive fume hoods contain MRI lab system and sterilizer. AT worked closely with the client during the programming phase and to make sure that the robotics facility, which features a robotically-controlled vial-fill system, would be validatable. The firm also managed the preparation of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and process designs to meet city permit deadlines.

CI SCO SYSTEMS – BUI LDING 16

San Jose, CA

Type: Rack Lab Size: 10,000 SF

AlfaTech provided mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical engineering services for the expansion of the rack lab in Cisco Building 16 for SPRTG, affecting approximately 10,000 square feet. The scope of work includes adding new lab electrical systems (transformers fed from the existing building electrical service) and chilled water distribution and CRAH units (fed from the existing chilled water system). In order to facilitate the additional space required, large conference room resources will be relocated from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor under a separate design-build contract. In addition to the MEP design effort, AlfaTech is coordinating and updating the lab rack layouts for approval by Cisco. The typical SPRTG lab rack requires 6 to 15 kW per rack. Also included in the scope of work are alterations to the rack layouts (related to new cabinet dimensional requirements) as well as electrical modifications related to the existing power distribution to the existing first floor lab spaces.
