This pharmaceutical and biotechnology company was heavily involved in the development and production of COVID-19 vaccines.

With their work being more important than ever, they needed to ensure full contingency plans for mission-critical utilities supporting the plant.

Most importantly, the vivarium rooms and associated laboratories had to have their supply of chilled water guaranteed. If the supply was interrupted it had to be restored within 24 hours to ensure the facility stayed within GxP compliance. If chilled water was lost, all the research from clinical trials and cold storage freezers would be contaminated greatly affecting the site’s R&D projects.

The existing chilled water system did not have safe and easily accessible connections for temporary rental chillers. So, they engaged Aggreko’s engineering team to design and install a solution that would ensure the supply could be restored within 24 hours in any situation.

The solution was approved by the plant and guaranteed that the chilled water supply could be restored within 24 hours in the event of a utility failure.

This meant that the plant could concentrate on its critical research and development work, getting COVID-19 vaccines approved and delivered across the world.

By ensuring production always stayed within GxP compliance, the plant not only protected its productivity and profitability but most importantly delivered vaccines as quickly as possible, providing a route out of the pandemic for countries around the globe.
