PCL family of companies - Buildings

HIGH-TECH building involves meeting or exceeding the very strict protocols for cleanliness in the medical, bio-tech and research working environments.

Our ability to deliver the "build clean" requirements needed for the construction of manufacturing and research work environments has given our companies a reputation for being high-tech builders. In performing the work, we apply our knowledge of the medical, bio-tech and research markets to come up with innovative construction methods to finish construction projects quickly, without compromising quality. The benefit to clients is that they can bring their products to market faster.

FSI International 1A

PCL’s reputation as a high-tech builder prompted FSI International Inc., a world leader in the production of automated surface conditioning equipment, to commission the Minneapolis district to construct its new 110,000 sf manufacturing facility.

Because of the ultra-clean requirements, a "build clean" approach was utilised, involving as many as five levels of protocol, each more stringent than the last, to ensure the working environment is free of dust particles, the tiniest of which can destroy a microchip. In the final stages, workers are required to dress in full cleanroom garb (i.e. gowns, shoe covers, bouffants) and enter and exit the cleanroom via an airlock.
