MSAT Pilot Plant

The project

PM Group was responsible for developing this project from concept through to issue of construction documents.  Drawing on previous project experiences, our multi-discipline A&E team executed the project in close collaboration with Sanofi end users, Sanofi engineering teams and the construction team.  Our services included concept design, BoD, field verification, detailed design and construction administration. We supported on the project through to construction and commissioning.

Minimising impact on operations

As a schedule driven project, solutions were implemented to meet the individual GMP requirements of the pilot plant without impacting the existing operating facility. For example design of a point-of-use cooler was implemented to achieve the required ambient WFI dispensing with minimal impact on existing systems. Similarly, the bulk gas storage tanks were designed and operational prior to shutdown. This facilitated early process and equipment test runs.
