Modular Cleanrooms
Product Information

Pacific Environmental Technologies, Inc has over 35 years of experience constructing all types of cleanroom and laboratory facilities giving our clients the assurance that regardless of the construction type chosen for their facility, they will receive the quality, look and performance they expect from their facility design construction team.

Modular cleanrooms are the choice of many industries providing quick installation, a high-tech look and customer appeal, and a wide range finishes and options to meet any cleanroom or laboratory requirement.

What is a Modular Cleanroom?

A modular cleanroom is a type of controlled environment designed to provide filtered, extremely clean air within a space to minimize the possibility of airborne contaminants. Modular cleanrooms are typically used in sensitive manufacturing environments where even tiny particles can adversely impact the final product. Modular cleanrooms are typically employed in industries like pharmaceuticals, electronics, semiconductor, biotechnology, and aerospace.

The term “modular” in modular cleanrooms refers to the construction method employed. Rather than being constructed entirely on site, modular cleanrooms are prefabricated in sections or panels, which are then assembled on site.

Benefits of Modular Cleanroom Construction

  1. Modular Construction: Modular cleanrooms are assembled on site using prefabricated sections and panels. This approach ensures a rigid free-standing structure, design flexibility, rapid installation, ease of expansion, and configurability.
  2. Flexibility: Because modular cleanrooms are assembled from prefabricated panels, sections can be reconfigured, added, or removed to expand size and accommodate changes in production requirements and capacity. Modular cleanrooms can also be relocated as required. Available in a wide range of finishes and core materials, modular cleanrooms are a versatile solution capable of meeting the requirements of any industry.
  3. Cost Efficiency: Combining the mass-production of prefabricated panels with strict environmental control, modular cleanrooms are an ideal and cost effective solution for medium-sized projects without sacrificing quality.
  4. Rapid Deployment: Since all sections and panels are prefabricated off site, on site assembly time is dramatically reduced, resulting in an environment with strict control, tight tolerances, and rapid deployment.
  5. Regulatory Compliance: Our modular cleanroom systems are capable of meeting the strictest regulatory requirements, including USP, cGMP, BSL, and others in cleanliness ratings ranging from ISO 3 to ISO 8 (Class 1 to Class 100,000).
  6. Minimal Disruption: Our interlocking modular cleanroom systems are prefabricated off site to minimize construction debris, noise, and contamination typically associated with traditionally constructed facilities.

    Other parts of the modular cleanroom tend to be the same across the different construction approaches available, including:

    • Architectural components such as floor coverings, doors, windows, suspended ceilings, return air grilles, etc…
    • Mechanical and process systems (chilled water, DX and package units).
    • Electrical systems.
    • Plumbing and piping.
