The Company and Project

Building Management System to create a sterile environment for manufacturing cancer drugs

AstraZeneca (AZ) had committed to the design and build of a new manufacturing line for cancer drugs. Due to the nature
of the pharmaceuticals to be produced, the manufacturing line had to be in a sterile environment, requiring a significant
investment in a Building Management System (BMS), Air Handling Units (AHU) and fan control systems. AZ commissioned
Honeywell to deliver the BMS solution, Honeywell in turn commissioned Bensons to carry out the design and build of the
control panels required to enable the operation of the BMS system.

The suite of control panels required consisted of:
• Five Motor Control Centres (MCCs) to provide power to various systems through the plant; and,
• Sixteen AHU control panels, all different but to a common design philosophy.

The value of the suite of control panels was c.£550k, design took place in the early part of 2021, with manufacture
between May and November of 2021. The overall project occupied c.3,500 hours of production time.

The Challenge

To develop a robust design and build programme

The key challenges associated with the delivery of
the project were:
• Agreeing a robust design and build programme
• Creating designs in parallel with evolving
requirements from the end customer
• Identifying and scheduling long lead-time items

procurement to ensure the parts were available
for production when required

• Gaining design approval in line with the plan, and
accommodating delays from the end client
• Developing Pre-Delivery Inspection documentation to
support the client
• Building and delivery of fully functional control panels in
line with changing end client requirements
