Pharma facility design · EU-GMP · ISPE · MENA

Where quality is designed into every detail.

A specialist pharmaceutical design and engineering house serving the Middle East and North Africa, taking facilities from the first conceptual layout to a fully coordinated, construction-ready design package.

The stack

Eight layers, one accountable team.

Architecture, process, HVAC, clean and black utilities, fire protection, electrical and automation — modelled together, drawn from the same geometry, handed over as one package.

Governed by
EU / GMP, ISPE guidance
Delivered as
Federated model + GA drawings

02 — HVAC

The heart of a GMP facility.

AHU-wise ducting layouts, supply and return balancing, volume dampers and terminal boxes engineered to hold the required grades — pressure cascades resolved in the model.

Modelled
Trunks, branches, terminals
Set out for
Pressure cascade, air changes

04 — Utilities / Plumbing

Purified water, routed to fall.

PW, WFI, clean steam and process gases with loop routing, slopes, dead-leg control and sampling points — plus drainage and plumbing, engineered for sanitary design.

Services
PW, WFI, clean steam, gases
Designed for
Drainability, CQV access

06 — Cleanrooms

GMP zoning, drawn as flows.

Room programme, cleanliness grades, airlocks and pass-throughs are laid out around personnel and material flows — the envelope designed around the process, not the other way round.

Detailing
Wall, ceiling and floor systems
Flows
Personnel, material, waste

08 — Process Equipments

Process first, building second.

Vessels, skids, access platforms and interconnecting piping set out against the process flow, wrapped in an envelope sized around them rather than the reverse.

Modelled
Vessels, platforms, piping
Envelope
Facade, entrance, site apron

Handover

Walk the facility before breaking ground.

Drawings, schedules and sections come out of this model, so what is issued for construction and what is inspected at handover are the same geometry.

Why Agon

  • 01

    Design-led, end to end

    Full design ownership from the first concept sketch to the issued-for-construction package.

  • 02

    Global regulatory knowledge

    US FDA, EU-GMP, WHO and PIC/S expectations applied at the drawing board.

  • 03

    Integrated engineering

    All disciplines designed and coordinated in-house, by one team.

  • 04

    Risk reduction

    Clashes, flow errors and classification gaps resolved on paper, not on site.

  • 05

    Operational efficiency

    Facilities designed for reliable, maintainable, energy-conscious performance.

  • 06

    Compliance by design

    GMP requirements embedded from the earliest design stages.

Facility expertise

Specialists in every facility type

From the suites where medicines and medical devices are made to the labs and warehouses that test and store them, every facility carries its own risks, regulations and design logic.

Engagements

Proof in the doing.

A selection of engagements that illustrate how we work. Client identities are withheld under confidentiality; project references are available under NDA.

Standards

Designed to pass inspection.

Compliance is not a checkpoint at the end. It is engineered in from the first layout. Every design decision we make is traceable to a requirement, and every requirement is verifiable at handover.

Method

A method you can see through.

Good engineering is only half the work; delivering it predictably is the other half. We run every project through a clear, staged method — defined deliverables, decision gates at each stage and a single point of accountability — so our clients always know exactly where their project stands.

  1. Listen & define

  4. Detailed engineering
  5. Design support
  6. Design handover

Let’s design it right.

From the first concept sketch to an issued-for-construction package, Agon designs pharmaceutical facilities that meet the highest international standards. We would welcome the conversation.
