Advanced Facilities Services

In June 2014, T-SQUARED was awarded the contract for the entire hard facilities service package within the GMP facility in the SCRM Building. We are responsible for BMS Controls, Validation/Filter Integrity, Air flow/pressure balancing, HVAC and Vacuum Compressors.

As part of the PPM contract, we carry out monthly inspection visits on condition and operation of all equipment as well as two major shutdowns per year where we carry out the following:

  • Full BMS Controls service
  • Full HVAC service
  • Complete filter integrity testing
  • Revalidation of pressure and airflows

These shutdowns are carried out over a two week period. On completion of the major service visits, we issue full condition reports with recommendations on repair and upgrade. In addition to a full planned preventative maintenance package, we also provide reactive maintenance for the facility, covering all callouts with 24hr emergency cover.

T-SQUARED provide reliable, timely and effective service provision for a high specification cleanroom suite, HVAC system, and associated plant. They consistently provide great service, experienced personnel, excellent customer communication and a forward-thinking approach. I would highly recommend them.
