Pharmaceutical Sector

Research Facilities – Secondary Manufacturing Plant – Plant Utilities – Infrastructure Change

We have built our reputation on the successful delivery of complex multidisciplinary projects, giving our clients improved business performance. Lorien regularly work within confidentiality agreements due to the nature of product development initiatives and life sciences research.


The pharmaceutical sector is quite diverse, and the skills required in particular areas are quite different. At Lorien we don’t therefore pretend to be an expert in everything pharmaceutical, but conversely we do know where our strengths lie:
  • Life sciences research facility design
  • Secondary manufacturing suites
  • Facility utilities: clean water systems; lab gases; electrical systems; voice and data; BEM’s
  • Packaging lines: jars; form fill seal; blisterpack; Class 100 aseptic
  • Specification and quality management
  • Financial control
  • 3D modelling and simulation
  • Contractor selection
Track Record

  • Retrofit of laboratory services and equipment within 50 laboratories covering 7800m2
  • Liquids waste heat treatment system for research facility
  • Purified water and water for injection stills
  • Redesign of 8100m2 human science laboratory (3 floors) to accommodate automated assay work
  • Granulation suite
  • Formulations facility design
  • Regulatory document archive
  • Inhalations preparation, filling and storage
  • Vaccines production facility
  • Pilot plant design
  • Insect rooms design (structure and services)
