Medical production and deposit facilities

INDUSTRY:

Medical/Pharma industry

FOCUS:

  • Managing complex power distribution across multiple buildings
  • Ensuring reliable backup power for critical operations
  • Implementing advanced lighting control systems

OBJECTIVE:

To provide a comprehensive electrical installation for the new facility, ensuring reliable power distribution, efficient lighting solutions, and robust backup power systems for continuous operation.

SOLUTION:

  • Power distribution through 2 x 1600 kVA and 1000 kVA transformers (Schneider Electric)
  • Use of encapsulated bus ducts rated at 2500 A and 1600 A (Schneider Electric)
  • Installation of 43 electrical power distribution cabinets (Schneider Electric)
  • 1000 kVA generator for backup power (Cummins)
  • DALI driver-equipped lighting fixtures for adjustable lighting levels (Philips)

PROJECT DURATION:

16 months

THE PROJECT COMPRISED OF:

The project involves the design and execution of the electrical installations for a new production facility in Timisoara, Romania, with a total constructed area of 30,000 square meters.

It encompasses several key facilities:

  • A regional distribution center
  • A research and development center for scientific services
  • An administrative center
  • A new factory for infusion solutions

The technical and detailed design, along with the execution of the following installations, were managed by Eltrex:

  • Power distribution: medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) systems for all 5 buildings.
  • Lighting: normal and emergency lighting systems for both interior and exterior.
  • Internal distribution installations: power and socket distribution systems.
  • Grounding, equipotential bonding, and lightning protection

Additional exterior installations include:

  • Installation of over 50 lighting poles
  • Electrical work for platforms, roads, and site utilities (e.g., drilling, reservoirs, fire pumps)
  • A 1000 kVA generator to provide backup power in case of an outage

Electricity supply for the building complex is divided into three zones, each powered by medium voltage in a closed-loop system. Transformer capacities for the three zones are: 2 x 1600 kVA + 1000 kVA + 1600 kVA. Electrical distribution within buildings will be managed through 43 electrical panels, sourced from 3 main panels connected via encapsulated busbars rated at 2500 A and 1600 A.

Interior lighting systems will feature adjustable illumination levels through DALI drivers, allowing for light level adjustment based on requirements.
