Labs and Clean Rooms

Labs and clean rooms rely on air, water and power being exactly right. HSM builds them with our own mechanical and electrical crews so the systems are coordinated.

Labs and Clean Rooms

Systems that define the room

A lab is largely its mechanical systems. Air change rates, pressure relationships, fume hoods, exhaust and filtration decide whether the space works. Clean rooms add controls on particles, temperature and humidity.

Our mechanical crew installs HVAC, ductwork, controls and plumbing, including lab services such as gas lines, eyewash stations and specialty drains. In-house engineering, led by Dr. Magdy Istafanous, helps coordinate the design.

Power, finishes and safety

Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, installs normal and emergency power, dedicated circuits for equipment and lighting suited to detailed work. Finishes are chosen for cleanability. Seamless floors, coved bases, sealed walls and smooth ceilings are common.

Our interior systems team builds the walls and ceilings, with care for sealed penetrations and airtight details. Low voltage covers access control, monitoring and alarms.

  • Pressure control
  • Seamless, cleanable finishes
  • Emergency eyewash and showers

Construction cleanliness

Clean room work needs discipline. Dust control, material handling and trade sequencing all affect the final result. Because our own crews do much of the work, we can control who enters and how the space is protected.

What to plan for

Specialty equipment can have long lead times, and testing and certification take time after construction. Confirm requirements with your own safety and compliance staff early. We coordinate with Alberta Safety Codes requirements, and we will tell you plainly where specialist consultants are needed.

A lab is rarely finished on the day construction ends. Balancing air, certifying equipment and training staff all follow. Our mechanical crew stays involved through testing and balancing, and our project managers coordinate with your consultants and inspectors. We give you a clear list of what remains and who is responsible, so the opening date holds.
