The MSR-FSR Cleanroom Laundry project was a Design-Build-Construct project. Terry Wilson, the TriQuint Facility Manager, forwarded our information to MSR after we successfully completed three consecutive
Design-Build-Construct projects at TriQuint. We partnered with LRS Architects and designed the Cleanroom envelope and the equipment layout.
A cleanroom laundry has several requirements beyond a normal laundry. The process needs to include a DI water system for the wash cycles, a steam boiler for the dryers and for making hot DI water, and a class 10
certified cleanroom. We designed the class 10 cleanroom to be encapsulated by the return chase with full height walls to eliminate the need for conditioning the entire warehouse space. We then only needed to condition
the “clean envelope” around the cleanroom. This was a huge advantage as a cost reduction for our construction budget.
We installed the 400# capacity Washers (see picture above), High Purity Steam Dryers, RODI Skids, Storage Tanks, Natural Gas Boiler, Air Compressor equipment, HVAC Rooftop Units, and all the process piping. The
biggest challenge with this project was working with the constraints of a 6000 sf concrete tilt up warehouse that was not pre-facilitated for this type of use. These challenges were overcome during design and we were
able to provide and meet a construction budget that was less than 50% of what MSR had received previously from another design team.
Our strategy included assembling a Project Team of subcontractors that had successfully performed the three prior projects at TriQuint. The communication and cohesive work environment created by having an existing
relationship with the project team allowed us to complete the project in a mere 16 weeks from receipt of permit.
The project went very well and our customer is very satisfied. We will be starting our next Design-Build-Construct project for MSR by relocating their current semiconductor parts cleaning operation in Gresham, OR
to this new facility this Spring.
As the prime mechanical contractor, BMWC was accountable for all the mechanical work for this $35 million H-Wing renovation project. The project involved upgrading a 60 year old, 150,000 sf building, which included the renovation of five floors. BMWC's $9.5 million subcontract included all of the mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and controls. There were very few change orders on this project for our mechanical work based on our extensive pre-planning efforts, attention to the schedule, and our Lean construction techniques.
