ISO-8 Cleanroom Repair and Upgrade for Medical Device Manufacturer

Overview

We were contacted by a client about a medical device manufacturing cleanroom system that we built about 10 years ago. The manufacturer, located in in Carlsbad, California, needed urgent repairs after a water leak damaged their cleanroom system. The space required structural repairs, system upgrades, and code compliance updates without delaying production for long.

Our team completed a full cleanroom restoration and upgrade in just two weeks, helping the client resume operations quickly.

Project Details

  • Location: Carlsbad, California
  • Cleanroom Classification: ISO Level 8
  • Total Size: 34’ x 40’
  • Gowning Area: 10’ x 16’
  • Packaging Room: 10’ x 24’

The Challenge

The facility experienced water damage that impacted wall panels and flooring. The cleanroom was not operational, and downtime directly affected the client’s ability to supply their medical products.

The project required:

  • Fast turnaround
  • Coordination with remediation teams
  • Upgrades to meet current codes
  • Minimal disruption to production timelines

The Solution

Once the site was cleared, we scheduled immediate repairs and took the opportunity to install upgrades. Our team removed damaged materials and completed system improvements to extend the cleanroom’s lifespan and performance.

Key upgrades included:

  • Replaced 3’ x 3’ x 3’ wall-mounted pass-through chamber
  • Removed VCT flooring and installed high-build epoxy flooring
  • Replaced damaged wall panels
  • Upgraded to LED lighting
  • Installed new doors and hardware
  • Replaced all HEPA filter units
  • Installed new T-bar ceiling and tiles
  • Upgraded compressed air lines
  • Updated sprinkler system to meet local code
  • Installed new exit signage and alarmed exit door
  • Replaced HVAC unit to meet current requirements

The Results

  • Full cleanroom restored and operational in 2 weeks
  • Minimized production downtime
  • Improved system performance and reliability
  • Updated facility to meet current code requirements
  • Extended lifespan of the cleanroom system

For medical manufacturers, downtime impacts supply chains and patient care. Fast, compliant cleanroom restoration ensures operations continue without long-term disruption.
