In pharmaceutical manufacturing, purity is paramount.

Our work spans a wide range of specialized environments, including high-containment labs and biopharmaceutical production facilities where safety and precision are non-negotiable.

We handle projects that demand advanced systems, intricate technology, and rigorous standards, from designing sterile environments to building complex pharmaceutical manufacturing infrastructure.

To protect personnel and help ensure product integrity, these systems must precisely control every aspect of the environment—pressure, temperature, humidity, and air quality. Whether it’s creating controlled, sterile spaces or developing sophisticated HVAC and plumbing systems for manufacturing, Batchelor & Kimball is ready to meet your most critical mission.

Our expertise extends to pharmaceutical and biotech facilities, where we design and install mechanical systems that are essential for everything from drug manufacturing plants to cleanroom environments.

Our success comes down to three core principles:

  •  Holistic Knowledge of Your Facility: From the initial design stages, we meticulously study your facility’s construction and operational requirements. We build with an eye on the future, to help ensure that maintenance teams can easily access and service complex systems without disrupting production.
  •  High-Purity Fabrication: In our more than 200,000 sq ft of fabrication space, we adhere to the highest standards in the industry. Our Class-1000 clean rooms help ensure that every component, from piping to process systems, is fabricated to ISO-level standards. This is crucial for maintaining the purity and functionality of the systems used in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
  • Uncompromising Attention to Detail: Your lab or production facility isn’t just a job to us—it’s a vital environment where precision matters. We approach every project with a meticulous mindset, in an effort to fully consider every specification and execute flawlessly. You won’t find a more detail-oriented team than ours.

How We Keep Our Promise to Deliver Complex Pharmaceutical Systems

Our goal is to be the team that’s best prepared for the most intricate and critical HVAC and plumbing systems in pharmaceutical and life sciences facilities. Here's how we help ensure success:

  • Hiring and Retaining Talent: We don’t just hire; we hire for expertise. Our rigorous hiring process is designed to help guarantee that every team member is highly qualified to handle the unique challenges of pharmaceutical and life sciences facilities. Once we find the right people, we invest in their development, promoting long-term stability and expertise on every project.
  • Commitment to Safety: In pharmaceutical environments, safety is a top priority. Every day, we begin with a thorough team analysis of job hazards, and every worker is empowered to stop work if they observe an unsafe practice. Our mantra: Go home the way you came in.
  • Advanced Fabrication & Consistency: Our state-of-the-art fabrication shops, including Class-1000 clean rooms, help us deliver the highest purity in stainless steel and hygienic piping. This attention to detail promotes the longevity and compliance of systems critical to pharmaceutical manufacturing.
  • Project Tracking & Accountability: We use advanced project management technology to meticulously track every step of the construction process. This allows us to integrate all project information from estimating to turnover, helping ensure we meet pricing, scheduling, and quality standards.
  • Careful Collaborator Selection: We work with a trusted network of subcontractors who have proven expertise in pharmaceutical construction. Additionally, we bring in licensed professionals to inspect our work before delivery, helping us meet the highest standards of quality and compliance.

Our attention to detail isn’t just about meeting specifications—it’s about continuously improving processes. In one case, our team’s careful review and optimization of an HVAC system resulted in significant cost savings for a major pharmaceutical client.
