Perhaps the most important stage in any construction project, investment in a well-formulated conceptual design will result in lower construction costs, fewer change orders, and better compliance during operations. This is especially true for multipurpose facilities intended for multiple products and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). Using engineers experienced with the design of facilities (including biosimilars) utilized in the EU and North America will help ensure a smooth approval process for products intended for sale in those countries.

Experience includes conceptual designs for pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies. Our engineers are experienced with cleanroom design, and including RABS and isolator technologies. Many of our engineers are bilingual.

Sometimes combined with conceptual design, basis of design builds on the conceptual design and requires a clear understanding of the manufacturing process, process flow, and utilities requirements. Our engineers have deep experience with facility design, construction, and operation and add significant value to the design process.

Experience includes preparation of basis of design documents for medical device and vaccine manufacturers.

For clients looking for engineering support or a second opinion, we offer off-site facility design reviews, including room layouts, utility and facility design, and equipment specifications. Reviews are conducted via Internet and include written report, teleconference Q&A.

Experience includes review of HVAC specifications and room layouts (to include adjacency, utilities placement, personnel and material flows for microbiology / implantable medical device manufacturing facilities.

Through our alliance partners, DDC provides a full range of engineering services including EPCM in Asia (China, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia).
