CSL BEHRING AG - PROTINUS
With Pharmaplan as general design contractor, construction management, commissioning & qualification lead, CSL Behring is expanding its production capacity to keep up with global
demand for its market-leading immunoglobulin products.
The new building accommodates two additional manufacturing lines
for immunoglobulin products. This extension is a multi-story building with three basement levels. The new building is connected
to the already existing service and logistics center at the site. Its core includes immunoglobulin bulk manufacturing, space for
future sterile filling line, and utility and logistics rooms. Pharmaplan took on the role of general design contractor to support the production
expansion. A fast-track approach was applied in all project phases to meet the strict timeline. The basic design, for instance, was
executed in just six months.
The new production building and the building envelope had to be built within a limited time frame
and without any interruption to the existing site operations. Also, with the footprint of the new buildings taking up the majority
of the remaining site area, there was very limited space for the kind of construction site that this type of project usually requires.
