Commissioned by Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world’s largest company providing services to science, Eikos statyba has completed the reconstruction of the factory building, which will house a modern Research and Experimental Development Center and scientific laboratories.. The company’s administration, part of the logistics and storage facilities are moving to the new building, which is approximately 10,000 square meters in area, along with a research center and laboratory. It is planned that as many as 140 scientists will work in the new premises.
This month, Eikos statyba completed the implementation of a 31 million litas project, the work on which began in June last year. The construction company carried out a complete reconstruction of the building within one year. The old building was demolished, and in its place a completely new four-story building with basements was built, which is connected to the production building by an underground tunnel and an above-ground gallery on the third floor. The new building is also distinguished by its external facade walls, which use a new generation of three-layer prefabricated reinforced concrete with a decorative textured surface. The general contractor Eikos statyba designed and installed all the building’s engineering systems, which are connected to a modern and automated building management system PVS (BMS).
This is the second project of Eikos statyba together with Thermo Fisher Scientific. In 2009, the company reconstructed the building, which housed the research facilities. “We are very happy with the trust given to us and the second project implemented together. This project was a challenge for the entire team, because separate, extremely high requirements are applied to buildings intended for scientific research and production,” says Rytis Ivanauskas, director of Eikos statyba.
A distinctive feature of this project is the installation of ultra-clean laboratories that meet the requirements of Class D and Biological Safety Level (BSL), of which over a thousand square meters are installed in the new Thermo Fisher Scientific building. Only a few companies in Lithuania, including Eikos statyba, have the ability to build this type of premises adapted for laboratories, since specific building materials are used, complex engineering equipment and its installation methods are used, and a pressure difference is maintained between laboratories and adjacent premises of different purposes. All structural elements used in clean rooms, including ceiling systems, must meet the strictest requirements for dust emission characteristics.
