Watch: ISO 8 Cleanroom and Mezzanine Solution for IMI Charlotte
Video Overview
This video highlights a custom cleanroom and mezzanine project completed for IMI Charlotte. Working with Stein Service & Supply, Panel Built delivered an ISO 8 cleanroom with integrated storage space above, helping the customer create a controlled fabrication environment without sacrificing valuable floor space.
Key Highlights from the Video
In this video, you'll get a closer look at how Panel Built combined a cleanroom, mezzanine, and material handling system into one integrated solution:
- ISO 8 Cleanroom for High-Purity Fabrication: The cleanroom was designed to support pharmaceutical and high-purity welding and pipe fabrication, providing a dedicated controlled environment within the facility.
- Custom Features to Meet Unique Requirements: The project incorporated a vertical conveyor, overhead door access, and a mezzanine designed to accommodate increased loading requirements.
- Maximized Use of Available Space: By building a mezzanine above the cleanroom, IMI Charlotte gained valuable storage and operational space without expanding its footprint.
- Smooth Design and Installation Process: From design through fabrication and erection, the project moved efficiently while minimizing disruption to day-to-day operations.
- Adaptable Engineering Approach: Panel Built worked closely with the customer to address evolving requirements and develop solutions for each challenge throughout the project.
- A Platform for Future Growth: The completed installation successfully supported IMI Charlotte's expansion plans and laid the groundwork for future phases within the facility.
Why Combining Cleanrooms and Mezzanines Works
In many facilities, floor space is limited while operational requirements continue to grow. Combining a cleanroom with a structural mezzanine allows businesses to create controlled production environments below while utilizing overhead space for storage, equipment, or material handling.
For IMI Charlotte, this approach delivered the high-quality fabrication environment they needed while preserving valuable floor space for future operations.
