1.1   SNC-LAVALIN PHARMA AND THE BIO-PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s desire to be involved in biotech and pharmaceutical
      projects has its source in the fact that SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s engineers recognize
      that the needs of the pharmaceutical industry’s engineering systems are among
      the most challenging in terms of sophistication and complexity.

      In order to maintain a leading edge in high tech building and process
      technologies, SNC-Lavalin Pharma recognizes its own need to invest in R&D in
      this field, as is the case for the pharmaceutical industry in its own fields of
      expertise. As a consequence, SNC-Lavalin Pharma is following in the footsteps
      of the pharmaceutical industry and has started what it considers to be a very
      innovative building technology R&D plan that revolves around two major poles:

          −   SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s role as founding partner in the Central Canada
              Chapter of the ISPE (International Society for Pharmaceutical
              Engineering).

          −   SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s role as founding partner in the Canadian Chapter
              of A3P (Association for Clean and Sterile Products, based in Europe).

          −   SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s role as an affiliate member of IRPI (Institute for
              Research in Industrial Pharmacy).

          −   Active participation of our staff in industry forums, technology-related
              panels and similar functions in life sciences sectors.

      Through a very proactive presence in these organizations, SNC-Lavalin Pharma
      is significantly investing in terms of time, energy and financial resources and
      recoups solid technical training and a better global understanding of the
      pharmaceutical industry’s design and compliance needs and requirements.

      As the pharmaceutical industry has clearly demonstrated in the past with its
      massive investment in R&D, SNC-Lavalin Pharma strongly feels that its future
      success and survival directly depend on these R&D efforts, in addition to
      creating strategic alliances with the pharmaceutical industry.
2.   TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

     For twenty years, SNC-Lavalin Pharma has carried out numerous projects for
     biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries as well as for hospitals and
     government        agencies.       These      include        R&D    laboratories,
     manufacturing/production areas, in particular pertaining to solid dosage
     (granulation and compression), coating columns, fluid bed dryers, production of
     antibodies, solvent tank farms, liquid production lines, etc.

     SNC-Lavalin Pharma has thus developed a dedicated team of specialists with
     current expertise in the process design, facility engineering and validation of the
     sophisticated systems usually required in such facilities.

     These requirements reflect the industry’s needs to create, control and monitor,
     among others, the environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure,
     ventilation, filtration) while ensuring the safety of researchers, operators and
     other workers as well as adequately confining associated chemical and biological
     contamination risks.

     Our frequent and close collaboration with the engineering departments of our
     pharmaceutical and biotech clients has given SNC-Lavalin Pharma the
     opportunity to acquire a thorough understanding of the specific and challenging
     needs of research as well as production, in addition to the requirements of the
     authorities having jurisdiction (FDA cGMPs, TPP cGMPs and GLPs, Sanitary
     3A, CSA, NFPA and FM/ULC).

     This understanding has also included a very close collaboration, on a number of
     our mandates, with inspectors from the American FDA, the British MCA as well
     as from the Therapeutic Products Programme (TPP) of Health and Welfare
     Canada, for the validation of facilities, systems and equipment.
2.1   KNOWLEDGE OF APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s expertise more particularly cover the standards usually
      applied to the design of pharmaceutical production and research centers and
      laboratories, including sterile facilities and injectable handling systems, which
      must be certified by the FDA and the TPP, as well as meeting the current good
      manufacturing practices standards (cGMPs) published by the Code of Federal
      Regulations (Chapter 21) for the United States and by Health and Welfare
      Canada. The interpretation of these GMPs, which are regularly published in the
      Code of Federal Regulations, is also of interest, as the standards are constantly
      updated in order to meet new industry requirements. The rapid evolution of the
      good laboratory practices (GLPs) applicable to research facilities’ activities is
      also very closely followed by SNC-Lavalin Pharma.

      The members of SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s pharmaceutical and research facilities
      project teams are all well aware of the importance of proper interpretation of
      these standards and of their constant evolution due to the changing needs of the
      industry, but also to the availability of new technical solutions. This is why a
      constant effort is made by SNC-Lavalin Pharma to improve its level of awareness
      in this field; this is done by means which include technological transfers and
      training, including attending educational seminars set up by ISPE North America
      and European branches, as well as direct consultations with US-based experts
      specialized in the validation and certification of pharmaceutical systems.

      Regulations regarding the confinement of biological hazards are also of utmost
      importance as they define several basic criteria to be met by electromechanical
      systems and important architectural elements of buildings where products with
      potentially high risks of biological contamination are handled. Policies
      concerning bio-safety in laboratories, as published by the Center for Biological
      Diseases of the US Department of Health and Human Services and the
      Laboratory Center for Disease Control of Health and Welfare Canada, strictly
      govern this matter. Similarly, the regulation published by the Atomic Energy
      Control Board (document R-52) states their guidelines concerning the handling
      of elementary and intermediate radioisotopes in a laboratory.

      Our process automation personnel is bound by our internal procedures (our
      quality manual is available for on-site review) and these reflect, where relevant,
      ANSI/ISA-S88.01 and GAMP standards.

      As for animal facilities, the standards and requirements stipulated by the
      Canadian Council on Animal Protection (Manuals on Care and Use of Animals
      for Experimentation, volumes 1 and 2) serve as reference.
2.2   THE SYSTEM LIFE CYCLE APPROACH

      The System Life Cycle approach was developed by the biopharmaceutical
      industry in recent years. At SNC-Lavalin Pharma, we have developed our own
      version of the System Life Cycle (SLC) approach in the last few years and we
      continue to adapt it in order to better serve our biopharmaceutical clients.

      The System Life Cycle breaks down the project into three majors phases, made
      up of a total of nine steps, which are common to all projects. The SLC involves
      not only the A/E firm but all the stakeholders for the project. In fact, even if
      SNC-Lavalin Pharma is not directly involved in all the steps of the SLC, we try
      to give the best input possible to our Client to ensure a smooth transition from
      one phase to the other.

      The scheduling phase is split into three steps: an opportunity study, a feasibility
      study and a study of variables. It is during the scheduling phase that the major
      issues need to be discussed and resolved. Any major issues that are missed in
      this phase could have a significant impact on the financial or technical viability
      of the project.

      The realization phase is split into four steps: basis of design, detailed design,
      procurement and construction. Obviously, this is where SNC-Lavalin Pharma
      has the biggest impact on the project and where we would put a lot of effort into
      guaranteeing the best A/E and CM services to our Client.

      The operation phase is split into two steps: installation and operation. It is in this
      phase that some of the most critical steps of the validation are completed. The
      last step, operation, normally has no end point and is managed by our Client on a
      continuous basis.
2.3   KNOWLEDGE OF SPECIAL SYSTEMS AND ELEMENTS

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s specialized expertise results in extensive familiarity with
      the standards and best practices used in the pharmaceutical industry for the
      following areas:

      Layout planning

      Special planning of corridors, loading and unloading docks, production, storage
      and packaging rooms and of their location, as well as the careful planning of
      doors and room access allows for the optimal use of areas for handling and
      circulation of raw material, semi-finished, finished and packaging materials,
      equipment and personnel, animal circulation (clean-dirty corridors concept)
      while meeting production needs and avoiding cross-contamination. Research
      facility characteristics also include a high level of M/E content thus creating a
      significant need for M/E equipment room areas, a higher floor-to-floor height, a
      lower building net to gross area ratio, and a need to coordinate locations of M/E
      rooms so as to limit the possibilities of effluent reingestion.

      Process and Automation

      When it comes to production skids, the scope of services for the design of
      process and automation engineering includes process flow diagrams (PFDs),
      piping and instrumentation drawings (P&IDs), general arrangement drawings
      (GAs), process equipment specifications (bid package, bid analysis and
      recommendations) and automation specifications (instruments, instrumentation
      and mechanical equipment index, control loop diagrams, layout drawings,
      installation details and interconnection drawings).

      Process and automation expertise in the pharmaceutical industry covers process
      skids, process utilities, environmental systems, and clean-in-place (CIP) systems.
      Process skids include solvent tank farms, aqueous and solvent solutions for
      coating and granulation, fluid bed dryers, coating columns, liquid production
      lines, packaging and filling lines, etc.

      Process utilities include USP purified water, compressed air, nitrogen blanketing,
      process steam, clean steam, process air conditioning, hot and cold water, etc.
      Environmental systems include spill containment and waste solvent collection
      measures, measures against solvent vapour emissions, decontamination systems,
      etc.

      Clean-in-place (CIP) systems include production, storage, distribution and
      recovery (and recycling) of cleaning solutions, from simple systems such as
      wash-in-place (WIP) to clean-in-place (CIP) and finally, sterilize- or steam-in-
      place (SIP).
The integration of liquid process services with process skids in the fixed furniture
is also a key element for flexibility.

Water systems

Recognizing the acute need of the industry on this matter, SNC-Lavalin Pharma
has acquired solid expertise in the design, construction and validation of water
treatment systems and water distribution networks producing water-for-injection
(WFI), USP purified water, and laboratory quality demineralized water, using a
combination of multi-layer filtration, water softening, 5 micron filtration,
chlorine removal, distillation or reverse osmosis process, deionization (mixed bed
or continuous), U/V sterilization and final filtration to achieve both the chemical
and the bacteriological water quality required by the client. The right selection of
piping material, welding methods, network cleaning, jointing and erection
methods, temperature conditions, minimum flow rates and velocity to be
maintained for these networks are all parameters that must be controlled to
achieve acceptable results.

Environment systems

Ventilation and air conditioning systems are designed to create a clean and/or
aseptic environment, free of contamination, to meet the requirements of the
industry and the applicable norms. Air filtration levels and the creation of clean
rooms of classifications ranging from 100,000 to 100, using HEPA filters, are of
the utmost importance to produce such an environment. In order to maintain the
quality of this environment, the systems must be able to control and monitor the
following parameters: room-to-room relative pressurization levels, air circulation
flow rates, temperature and relative humidity. Essential requirements for
validation and certification of these facilities are that all of the above parameters
be recorded and documented.

Fume hoods and biological safety cabinets, and their arrangement in efficient
systems capable of guaranteeing the scientists’ safety and health while ensuring
an energy-efficient system, is a major issue in a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient
research facility.

Dust control

The control of dust and particle emissions resulting from production processes
requires the installation of dust recovery systems integrated into ventilation and
air conditioning systems. This integration may be required to maintain the
pressure at differential levels even when the dust collector systems are not in
operation. House vacuum systems are also normally required for the periodical
cleaning of equipment and of the rooms themselves.
Effluent treatment

Liquid and gaseous effluent treatment systems (such as neutralization,
disinfection and filtration systems and kill tanks (sterilization)) are required by
regulatory authorities (Environment bodies, municipalities) and codes and
standards for the protection of the environment.

Room finishes

The quality of room finishes and the methods and details used for their
construction, ease of maintenance and cleaning, i.e. no holes or cracks may be
visible in the finish, and all surfaces must be sealed. These surfaces must be hard,
smooth and free of sharp edges where dust could accumulate; all protruding
elements in the rooms must be easily cleanable. The impact of these requirements
on the visible elements of electromechanical systems must be considered in their
selection, for proper integration into the overall building.

The high sealing efficiency of the partitions (walls, ceilings, floors) required to
maintain the pressure differential rates needed between adjacent rooms has a
direct impact on the selection of building, structural and architectural systems.
Special sealing systems are sometimes required as a remedy to existing
conditions.

Safety issues

The safety of scientists and other personnel is a very important aspect of the
global design of research centers. Key elements include the following:

•   location of means of egress for scientists with respect to the most probable
    sources of danger (solvent concentration, fume hoods, etc.);
•   location of ventilated solvent storage cabinets;
•   fume hoods and biological safety cabinets;
•   eye wash and emergency shower water networks and locations;
•   solvent storage rooms and explosion venting;
•   high solvent content room partitions, explosion rating design and explosion
    venting panels;
•   sprinkler and fire cabinet locations;
•   electrical classification (intrinsically safe systems, explosion-proof areas,
    etc.);
•   HAZOP (hazardous operations, interlocking, emergency stops, etc.).

Access to electrical and automation systems

Easy access to electrical and automation systems and control elements for
maintenance, calibration and replacement is a key element which must be
considered in design. Explosion-proof rooms, types of ceilings, types of easy
cleaning access panels, and their integration into the buildings are all elements
      that require particular attention when designing these sophisticated facilities.

      Flexibility

      This word has a very special significance for pharmaceutical production and
      research facilities. With the fast-growing rate at which production and research
      can evolve, systems must be designed so that they can still meet the industry
      needs in the future.

      Communication

      Process and building communication networks for voice and data are now
      included in state-of-the-art research and manufacturing facilities.

      Emergency and UPS

      Emergency power supplies for research systems as well as for environmental
      systems are now more and more contemplated in research facilities and include
      static uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for process automation.

      Building control and monitoring systems for process automation

      Recent computer technology combined with industry needs has dramatically
      changed the building control integration level in facilities.

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma takes pride in the fact that all control and automation
      design for all above-listed systems is done in-house by SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s
      own team of control and building automation experts.


2.4   CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT/GENERAL CONTRACTING

      As construction manager, SNC-Lavalin Pharma can become the Owner’s
      representative and manage all field construction activities. This includes
      responsibility for the construction methods, techniques, sequences, procedures,
      costs, schedules, quality and warranty of the construction work. To accomplish
      this construction work, SNC-Lavalin Pharma will bid and award contracts to pre-
      qualified and approved subcontractors for all segments of the work on a
      competitive bid basis.

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma is directly accountable to our client for all construction and
      other items relating to the construction of the facility. During the construction
      phase of the project, we coordinate all activities to develop an orderly, controlled
      construction effort within the agreed time frame. Our capability in management,
      engineering, budgeting, cost estimating and control, scheduling, purchasing,
inspection and labor relations is fully utilized to ensure the successful
      achievement of the project objectives.

      PM+ ® , SNC-Lavalin’s proven Project Management system, is a professional
      delivery service encompassing everything needed to plan, design and construct a
      facility with one source directly accountable to the client. The specific benefits
      of TPM are:

      •   Single-source responsibility
      •   Reduced administrative burden
      •   Early cost determination and control
      •   Reduced financial risk
      •   Schedule compression

      Projects are managed by a single individual who has total project responsibility.
      This improves coordination and communication from project conception to
      completion. The Project Director is ultimately responsible for the delivery of all
      aspects of the project, and is the focal point for project information distribution
      throughout the assignment. This Director manages all project resources and
      facilitates communication between the client and the team of professionals.

      PM+ ® allows the design and construction phases to operate as independent
      professional organizations; integrated through the Project Director and providing
      an optimum balance between design and construction considerations.
      Contractual options are tailored to the individual owner’s needs and ensure
      delivery within budget, schedule and quality requirements.

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s ability to meet owner schedule and budget requirements
      is enhanced through our project management and reporting systems which
      provide our project managers with timely information.


2.5   CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION, START-UP ASSISTANCE

      The engineering construction scope of work includes bid packages
      (specifications, standards and drawings), construction management (construction
      work, schedule, supervision of process skid installation and shop drawing
      approval) and assistance upon start-up operations (training sessions,
      documentation required for IQ/OQ validation, automation system debugging and
      as-built drawings).

      Construction work supervision is of prime importance, ensuring the optimum
      quality of facilities. A high level of sophistication of systems and finishes
      requires constant follow-up and monitoring, allowing good construction work
      progress and quality that meets specification requirements.
System start-up, balancing and calibration are essential parts of the project as
      they will allow subsequent installation, operation and performance qualifications
      (IQs, OQs, PQs) to take place, if required, as well as to gather required
      documentation for validation.

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s team can provide on-site supervision as well as assistance
      upon system start-up.

      Our recent experience in projects involving production and research centres
      shows the importance of the presence of the design team members on-site upon
      electrical and automation system start-up in order to be able to assist the various
      contractors break in the state-of-the-art systems.


2.6   QUALIFICATION AND VALIDATION

      The preparation of documentation proving to regulatory agencies that the facility
      conforms to cGMPs is an important issue in the industry.

      Every integrated validation process starts with the preparation and
      implementation of a validation master plan early on in the design phase; this plan
      carefully defines and documents all procedures and activities which have an
      impact on the process.

      The preparation and early submittal of the validation master plan to authorities
      having jurisdiction (TPP and FDA) allows the Owner and the authorities to reach
      agreements in principle early in the project. It also allows design deficiencies to
      be detected and corrected.

      To this end, close collaboration between the Owner’s representatives and SNC-
      Lavalin Pharma’s team is required in the elaboration of the validation master
      plan, IQs, OQs and PQs as well as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and
      their integration as a whole into all other elements which form the overall plant
      master file (equipment data sheets, calibration procedures, preventive
      maintenance programs, change orders).

      SNC-Lavalin Pharma is proud to offer the pharmaceutical industry a complete
      range of validation services for building and process systems.

  • 5. 1.1 SNC-LAVALIN PHARMA AND THE BIO-PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s desire to be involved in biotech and pharmaceutical projects has its source in the fact that SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s engineers recognize that the needs of the pharmaceutical industry’s engineering systems are among the most challenging in terms of sophistication and complexity. In order to maintain a leading edge in high tech building and process technologies, SNC-Lavalin Pharma recognizes its own need to invest in R&D in this field, as is the case for the pharmaceutical industry in its own fields of expertise. As a consequence, SNC-Lavalin Pharma is following in the footsteps of the pharmaceutical industry and has started what it considers to be a very innovative building technology R&D plan that revolves around two major poles: − SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s role as founding partner in the Central Canada Chapter of the ISPE (International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering). − SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s role as founding partner in the Canadian Chapter of A3P (Association for Clean and Sterile Products, based in Europe). − SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s role as an affiliate member of IRPI (Institute for Research in Industrial Pharmacy). − Active participation of our staff in industry forums, technology-related panels and similar functions in life sciences sectors. Through a very proactive presence in these organizations, SNC-Lavalin Pharma is significantly investing in terms of time, energy and financial resources and recoups solid technical training and a better global understanding of the pharmaceutical industry’s design and compliance needs and requirements. As the pharmaceutical industry has clearly demonstrated in the past with its massive investment in R&D, SNC-Lavalin Pharma strongly feels that its future success and survival directly depend on these R&D efforts, in addition to creating strategic alliances with the pharmaceutical industry.
  • 6. 2. TECHNICAL EXPERTISE For twenty years, SNC-Lavalin Pharma has carried out numerous projects for biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries as well as for hospitals and government agencies. These include R&D laboratories, manufacturing/production areas, in particular pertaining to solid dosage (granulation and compression), coating columns, fluid bed dryers, production of antibodies, solvent tank farms, liquid production lines, etc. SNC-Lavalin Pharma has thus developed a dedicated team of specialists with current expertise in the process design, facility engineering and validation of the sophisticated systems usually required in such facilities. These requirements reflect the industry’s needs to create, control and monitor, among others, the environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure, ventilation, filtration) while ensuring the safety of researchers, operators and other workers as well as adequately confining associated chemical and biological contamination risks. Our frequent and close collaboration with the engineering departments of our pharmaceutical and biotech clients has given SNC-Lavalin Pharma the opportunity to acquire a thorough understanding of the specific and challenging needs of research as well as production, in addition to the requirements of the authorities having jurisdiction (FDA cGMPs, TPP cGMPs and GLPs, Sanitary 3A, CSA, NFPA and FM/ULC). This understanding has also included a very close collaboration, on a number of our mandates, with inspectors from the American FDA, the British MCA as well as from the Therapeutic Products Programme (TPP) of Health and Welfare Canada, for the validation of facilities, systems and equipment.
  • 7. 2.1 KNOWLEDGE OF APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s expertise more particularly cover the standards usually applied to the design of pharmaceutical production and research centers and laboratories, including sterile facilities and injectable handling systems, which must be certified by the FDA and the TPP, as well as meeting the current good manufacturing practices standards (cGMPs) published by the Code of Federal Regulations (Chapter 21) for the United States and by Health and Welfare Canada. The interpretation of these GMPs, which are regularly published in the Code of Federal Regulations, is also of interest, as the standards are constantly updated in order to meet new industry requirements. The rapid evolution of the good laboratory practices (GLPs) applicable to research facilities’ activities is also very closely followed by SNC-Lavalin Pharma. The members of SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s pharmaceutical and research facilities project teams are all well aware of the importance of proper interpretation of these standards and of their constant evolution due to the changing needs of the industry, but also to the availability of new technical solutions. This is why a constant effort is made by SNC-Lavalin Pharma to improve its level of awareness in this field; this is done by means which include technological transfers and training, including attending educational seminars set up by ISPE North America and European branches, as well as direct consultations with US-based experts specialized in the validation and certification of pharmaceutical systems. Regulations regarding the confinement of biological hazards are also of utmost importance as they define several basic criteria to be met by electromechanical systems and important architectural elements of buildings where products with potentially high risks of biological contamination are handled. Policies concerning bio-safety in laboratories, as published by the Center for Biological Diseases of the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Laboratory Center for Disease Control of Health and Welfare Canada, strictly govern this matter. Similarly, the regulation published by the Atomic Energy Control Board (document R-52) states their guidelines concerning the handling of elementary and intermediate radioisotopes in a laboratory. Our process automation personnel is bound by our internal procedures (our quality manual is available for on-site review) and these reflect, where relevant, ANSI/ISA-S88.01 and GAMP standards. As for animal facilities, the standards and requirements stipulated by the Canadian Council on Animal Protection (Manuals on Care and Use of Animals for Experimentation, volumes 1 and 2) serve as reference.
  • 8. 2.2 THE SYSTEM LIFE CYCLE APPROACH The System Life Cycle approach was developed by the biopharmaceutical industry in recent years. At SNC-Lavalin Pharma, we have developed our own version of the System Life Cycle (SLC) approach in the last few years and we continue to adapt it in order to better serve our biopharmaceutical clients. The System Life Cycle breaks down the project into three majors phases, made up of a total of nine steps, which are common to all projects. The SLC involves not only the A/E firm but all the stakeholders for the project. In fact, even if SNC-Lavalin Pharma is not directly involved in all the steps of the SLC, we try to give the best input possible to our Client to ensure a smooth transition from one phase to the other. The scheduling phase is split into three steps: an opportunity study, a feasibility study and a study of variables. It is during the scheduling phase that the major issues need to be discussed and resolved. Any major issues that are missed in this phase could have a significant impact on the financial or technical viability of the project. The realization phase is split into four steps: basis of design, detailed design, procurement and construction. Obviously, this is where SNC-Lavalin Pharma has the biggest impact on the project and where we would put a lot of effort into guaranteeing the best A/E and CM services to our Client. The operation phase is split into two steps: installation and operation. It is in this phase that some of the most critical steps of the validation are completed. The last step, operation, normally has no end point and is managed by our Client on a continuous basis.
  • 9. 2.3 KNOWLEDGE OF SPECIAL SYSTEMS AND ELEMENTS SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s specialized expertise results in extensive familiarity with the standards and best practices used in the pharmaceutical industry for the following areas: Layout planning Special planning of corridors, loading and unloading docks, production, storage and packaging rooms and of their location, as well as the careful planning of doors and room access allows for the optimal use of areas for handling and circulation of raw material, semi-finished, finished and packaging materials, equipment and personnel, animal circulation (clean-dirty corridors concept) while meeting production needs and avoiding cross-contamination. Research facility characteristics also include a high level of M/E content thus creating a significant need for M/E equipment room areas, a higher floor-to-floor height, a lower building net to gross area ratio, and a need to coordinate locations of M/E rooms so as to limit the possibilities of effluent reingestion. Process and Automation When it comes to production skids, the scope of services for the design of process and automation engineering includes process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation drawings (P&IDs), general arrangement drawings (GAs), process equipment specifications (bid package, bid analysis and recommendations) and automation specifications (instruments, instrumentation and mechanical equipment index, control loop diagrams, layout drawings, installation details and interconnection drawings). Process and automation expertise in the pharmaceutical industry covers process skids, process utilities, environmental systems, and clean-in-place (CIP) systems. Process skids include solvent tank farms, aqueous and solvent solutions for coating and granulation, fluid bed dryers, coating columns, liquid production lines, packaging and filling lines, etc. Process utilities include USP purified water, compressed air, nitrogen blanketing, process steam, clean steam, process air conditioning, hot and cold water, etc. Environmental systems include spill containment and waste solvent collection measures, measures against solvent vapour emissions, decontamination systems, etc. Clean-in-place (CIP) systems include production, storage, distribution and recovery (and recycling) of cleaning solutions, from simple systems such as wash-in-place (WIP) to clean-in-place (CIP) and finally, sterilize- or steam-in- place (SIP).
  • 10. The integration of liquid process services with process skids in the fixed furniture is also a key element for flexibility. Water systems Recognizing the acute need of the industry on this matter, SNC-Lavalin Pharma has acquired solid expertise in the design, construction and validation of water treatment systems and water distribution networks producing water-for-injection (WFI), USP purified water, and laboratory quality demineralized water, using a combination of multi-layer filtration, water softening, 5 micron filtration, chlorine removal, distillation or reverse osmosis process, deionization (mixed bed or continuous), U/V sterilization and final filtration to achieve both the chemical and the bacteriological water quality required by the client. The right selection of piping material, welding methods, network cleaning, jointing and erection methods, temperature conditions, minimum flow rates and velocity to be maintained for these networks are all parameters that must be controlled to achieve acceptable results. Environment systems Ventilation and air conditioning systems are designed to create a clean and/or aseptic environment, free of contamination, to meet the requirements of the industry and the applicable norms. Air filtration levels and the creation of clean rooms of classifications ranging from 100,000 to 100, using HEPA filters, are of the utmost importance to produce such an environment. In order to maintain the quality of this environment, the systems must be able to control and monitor the following parameters: room-to-room relative pressurization levels, air circulation flow rates, temperature and relative humidity. Essential requirements for validation and certification of these facilities are that all of the above parameters be recorded and documented. Fume hoods and biological safety cabinets, and their arrangement in efficient systems capable of guaranteeing the scientists’ safety and health while ensuring an energy-efficient system, is a major issue in a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient research facility. Dust control The control of dust and particle emissions resulting from production processes requires the installation of dust recovery systems integrated into ventilation and air conditioning systems. This integration may be required to maintain the pressure at differential levels even when the dust collector systems are not in operation. House vacuum systems are also normally required for the periodical cleaning of equipment and of the rooms themselves.
  • 11. Effluent treatment Liquid and gaseous effluent treatment systems (such as neutralization, disinfection and filtration systems and kill tanks (sterilization)) are required by regulatory authorities (Environment bodies, municipalities) and codes and standards for the protection of the environment. Room finishes The quality of room finishes and the methods and details used for their construction, ease of maintenance and cleaning, i.e. no holes or cracks may be visible in the finish, and all surfaces must be sealed. These surfaces must be hard, smooth and free of sharp edges where dust could accumulate; all protruding elements in the rooms must be easily cleanable. The impact of these requirements on the visible elements of electromechanical systems must be considered in their selection, for proper integration into the overall building. The high sealing efficiency of the partitions (walls, ceilings, floors) required to maintain the pressure differential rates needed between adjacent rooms has a direct impact on the selection of building, structural and architectural systems. Special sealing systems are sometimes required as a remedy to existing conditions. Safety issues The safety of scientists and other personnel is a very important aspect of the global design of research centers. Key elements include the following: • location of means of egress for scientists with respect to the most probable sources of danger (solvent concentration, fume hoods, etc.); • location of ventilated solvent storage cabinets; • fume hoods and biological safety cabinets; • eye wash and emergency shower water networks and locations; • solvent storage rooms and explosion venting; • high solvent content room partitions, explosion rating design and explosion venting panels; • sprinkler and fire cabinet locations; • electrical classification (intrinsically safe systems, explosion-proof areas, etc.); • HAZOP (hazardous operations, interlocking, emergency stops, etc.). Access to electrical and automation systems Easy access to electrical and automation systems and control elements for maintenance, calibration and replacement is a key element which must be considered in design. Explosion-proof rooms, types of ceilings, types of easy
  • 12. cleaning access panels, and their integration into the buildings are all elements that require particular attention when designing these sophisticated facilities. Flexibility This word has a very special significance for pharmaceutical production and research facilities. With the fast-growing rate at which production and research can evolve, systems must be designed so that they can still meet the industry needs in the future. Communication Process and building communication networks for voice and data are now included in state-of-the-art research and manufacturing facilities. Emergency and UPS Emergency power supplies for research systems as well as for environmental systems are now more and more contemplated in research facilities and include static uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for process automation. Building control and monitoring systems for process automation Recent computer technology combined with industry needs has dramatically changed the building control integration level in facilities. SNC-Lavalin Pharma takes pride in the fact that all control and automation design for all above-listed systems is done in-house by SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s own team of control and building automation experts. 2.4 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT/GENERAL CONTRACTING As construction manager, SNC-Lavalin Pharma can become the Owner’s representative and manage all field construction activities. This includes responsibility for the construction methods, techniques, sequences, procedures, costs, schedules, quality and warranty of the construction work. To accomplish this construction work, SNC-Lavalin Pharma will bid and award contracts to pre- qualified and approved subcontractors for all segments of the work on a competitive bid basis. SNC-Lavalin Pharma is directly accountable to our client for all construction and other items relating to the construction of the facility. During the construction phase of the project, we coordinate all activities to develop an orderly, controlled construction effort within the agreed time frame. Our capability in management, engineering, budgeting, cost estimating and control, scheduling, purchasing,
  • 13. inspection and labor relations is fully utilized to ensure the successful achievement of the project objectives. PM+ ® , SNC-Lavalin’s proven Project Management system, is a professional delivery service encompassing everything needed to plan, design and construct a facility with one source directly accountable to the client. The specific benefits of TPM are: • Single-source responsibility • Reduced administrative burden • Early cost determination and control • Reduced financial risk • Schedule compression Projects are managed by a single individual who has total project responsibility. This improves coordination and communication from project conception to completion. The Project Director is ultimately responsible for the delivery of all aspects of the project, and is the focal point for project information distribution throughout the assignment. This Director manages all project resources and facilitates communication between the client and the team of professionals. PM+ ® allows the design and construction phases to operate as independent professional organizations; integrated through the Project Director and providing an optimum balance between design and construction considerations. Contractual options are tailored to the individual owner’s needs and ensure delivery within budget, schedule and quality requirements. SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s ability to meet owner schedule and budget requirements is enhanced through our project management and reporting systems which provide our project managers with timely information. 2.5 CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION, START-UP ASSISTANCE The engineering construction scope of work includes bid packages (specifications, standards and drawings), construction management (construction work, schedule, supervision of process skid installation and shop drawing approval) and assistance upon start-up operations (training sessions, documentation required for IQ/OQ validation, automation system debugging and as-built drawings). Construction work supervision is of prime importance, ensuring the optimum quality of facilities. A high level of sophistication of systems and finishes requires constant follow-up and monitoring, allowing good construction work progress and quality that meets specification requirements.
  • 14. System start-up, balancing and calibration are essential parts of the project as they will allow subsequent installation, operation and performance qualifications (IQs, OQs, PQs) to take place, if required, as well as to gather required documentation for validation. SNC-Lavalin Pharma’s team can provide on-site supervision as well as assistance upon system start-up. Our recent experience in projects involving production and research centres shows the importance of the presence of the design team members on-site upon electrical and automation system start-up in order to be able to assist the various contractors break in the state-of-the-art systems. 2.6 QUALIFICATION AND VALIDATION The preparation of documentation proving to regulatory agencies that the facility conforms to cGMPs is an important issue in the industry. Every integrated validation process starts with the preparation and implementation of a validation master plan early on in the design phase; this plan carefully defines and documents all procedures and activities which have an impact on the process. The preparation and early submittal of the validation master plan to authorities having jurisdiction (TPP and FDA) allows the Owner and the authorities to reach agreements in principle early in the project. It also allows design deficiencies to be detected and corrected. To this end, close collaboration between the Owner’s representatives and SNC- Lavalin Pharma’s team is required in the elaboration of the validation master plan, IQs, OQs and PQs as well as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and their integration as a whole into all other elements which form the overall plant master file (equipment data sheets, calibration procedures, preventive maintenance programs, change orders). SNC-Lavalin Pharma is proud to offer the pharmaceutical industry a complete range of validation services for building and process systems.
