Pharmaceutical facilities operate under the strictest engineering and documentation standards of any built environment. Cleanroom classification, HVAC air change rates, pressure cascade design, and process utility purity must all be engineered to regulatory requirements — and every decision must be documented in a form suitable for DQ, IQ, and OQ activities. TEBIN delivers integrated engineering and BIM coordination aligned to EU GMP, FDA 21 CFR, and ISO 14644 from concept through to validation support.

Engineering
where every
decision
is traceable

Pharmaceutical facilities require engineering that satisfies both technical performance requirements and regulatory documentation obligations. MEP systems must be designed to support cleanroom classifications, process utilities must meet pharmacopoeial standards, and every design decision must be documented in a form suitable for qualification activities.

TEBIN designs and coordinates engineering systems for production, laboratory, and R&D environments — from cleanroom HVAC and process utilities through to electrical distribution, BMS, and validation support documentation. Our approach ensures that engineering and qualification activities can proceed in parallel without rework.

GMP grade drives
every engineering decision

Cleanroom classification is not a single-discipline question. It determines the HVAC strategy, filtration approach, pressurisation logic, monitoring architecture, and documentation structure for the entire facility. TEBIN coordinates these engineering decisions across all disciplines from concept through to qualification support.

Note — TEBIN designs the HVAC, process utilities, electrical, and BMS systems to achieve and maintain these classifications throughout facility life. Our engineering deliverables are structured to support DQ, IQ, and OQ qualification activities from the start of detailed design.

BIM that supports
GMP qualification

In GMP environments, engineering documentation is not a post-construction deliverable — it is part of the qualification lifecycle. Our BIM methodology produces deliverables that are structured for regulatory use from the moment design begins.

01

Cleanroom Zone Coordination

Cleanroom zones, pressure cascades, gowning routes, and material airlocks are modelled in 3D and coordinated against structural grids, MEP supply systems, and process equipment layouts.

02

Process Utility Routing

WFI loops, purified water distribution, process gas runs, and clean steam lines are modelled in BIM with correct slope, deadleg control, and passivation considerations documented.

03

GMP-Aligned Documentation

Engineering deliverables are structured to support GMP qualification activities — P&IDs, equipment layout drawings, and utility system diagrams are coordinated between BIM model and process design.

04

Validation Support Packages

We produce the engineering documentation packages required for DQ, IQ, and OQ activities — isometric drawings, system descriptions, and equipment schedules derived from the coordinated BIM model.

In pharma, the cost of
rework exceeds the cost
of getting it right first time

01 Cleanroom integrity

Air quality maintained by engineering, not housekeeping alone

02 Process purity

Zero deadlegs designed into WFI and PW systems from the start

03 GMP compliance

Documentation structured for qualification before construction begins

04 ATEX & EHS

Hazardous areas classified and designed — never assumed safe

05 Validation readiness

DQ/IQ/OQ packages produced from coordinated engineering deliverables

06 ISO 19650

BIM coordination that supports facility lifecycle management
