Facility construction
Trades and supervision for the structural, architectural and fit-out phases of fab and cleanroom construction.
Industries
Semiconductor and data centre specialists
Our principal focus is on two of the most technically demanding types of facility being built today.
Principal industry
Semiconductor
Semiconductor fabrication facilities are among the most technically demanding environments to build. Cleanroom standards, complex process utilities and strict quality requirements call for personnel who can work with precision and discipline.
Potential manpower requirements
Mechanical installation
Process piping, ultra-pure water, specialty gases, exhaust and HVAC systems that support the fab environment.
Electrical installation
Power distribution, cabling and controls for production tools and critical facility systems.
Testing & commissioning
Systematic testing and commissioning of utilities and facility systems ahead of tool installation and handover.
Facility infrastructure
Central utility buildings, chilled water, compressed air, and the supporting infrastructure a fab relies on.
Quality & documentation
QA/QC inspection, cleanliness protocols and documentation to meet stringent project specifications.
Typical roles
- Mechanical and piping technicians
- Electrical technicians
- Commissioning personnel
- QA/QC inspectors
- Discipline supervisors
Principal industry
Data Centres
Data centres demand resilient mechanical and electrical infrastructure delivered to tight programmes. Every phase, from shell and core to integrated systems testing, depends on competent, well-coordinated site teams.
Potential manpower requirements
Data centre construction
Trades and site management for the build and fit-out of data halls and supporting spaces.
Electrical infrastructure
Medium and low voltage distribution, UPS, generators, busways and cabling for critical power.
Mechanical infrastructure
Cooling systems, chilled water, CRAH/CRAC units and pipework that keep critical loads within limits.
MEP works
Coordinated mechanical, electrical and plumbing installation across the facility.
Testing & commissioning
Staged commissioning through to integrated systems testing to prove the facility performs as designed.
Project support
Document control, planning support and QA/QC to keep fast-track projects organised.
Typical roles
- Electrical technicians and electricians
- Mechanical technicians
- Commissioning engineers and technicians
- Supervisors and site managers
- Document controllers
Workforce expertise
Transferable Oil & Gas Experience
Many technicians, engineers and supervisors have built their careers in oil and gas and other heavy industrial environments. The skills developed there can be highly relevant to the demands of semiconductor and data centre construction.
Safety culture
Familiarity with permit-to-work systems, risk assessment and working in high-hazard environments.
Process piping & mechanical systems
Experience with complex pipework, pressure systems and rotating equipment.
Electrical & instrumentation
Background in industrial power, instrumentation and control systems.
Commissioning discipline
Structured, documented approaches to pre-commissioning, commissioning and handover.
Quality & documentation
Working to rigorous specifications, inspection regimes and traceable records.
Demanding environments
Adaptability to remote sites, shift work and large, multi-contractor projects.
Oil and gas experience is highlighted here as a source of transferable skills within our workforce. Our principal client focus remains semiconductor and data centre projects.
