A containment facility requires separate standards from clean rooms, which TPC consider in their design, construction and certification.
Bio containment and bio security facilities are a risk to lab staff and facility operators if they are not built correctly. TPC have built many successful containment facilities throughout Australia that have easily achieved the leakage requirements and standards. We have also assisted others where there has been a failure due to the inexperience of their contractors. TPC through our detailed and diligent QA system ensure that throughout the build each trade is aware of the risks associated with poor installation techniques and assist with onsite training of their personnel when required. TPC at the start of the project openly discuss through a detailed induction process what issues may arise and how to ensure a perfect seal is achieved first time round.
To ensure TPC are updated with the latest information and products relating to Bio-safety and Bio-security, the directors and supervisors at TPC attend regular training courses and are at the forefront of new technologies that could improve the products and installation we offer. TPC are members of the association of Biosafety for Australia & New Zealand (ABSANZ).
To ensure a minimum leakage rate is achieved at the end of each project TPC progressively pressure test their rooms and after each trade using a NATA certified test rig. These test results form part of our QA documentation for the project on completion.
