Why We Build Advanced Manufacturing

The facility never
stops being built

Ireland is home to a concentration of the world's most advanced manufacturing campuses — semiconductor, medtech, precision electronics, and high-value process environments — where new product lines, capacity expansions, and regulatory upgrades generate a continuous pipeline of technically complex construction. From cleanroom and sub-fab builds to process utility buildings and CSA packages, Conroy delivers within live production environments — as principal contractor or as CSA delivery partner within EPC programmes.

Global demand for semiconductors and precision-manufactured components continues to accelerate. Ireland's established base of advanced manufacturing operations is expanding — driving demand for new cleanroom, sub-fab, and process utility construction.

Campuses running multiple concurrent construction packages derive greater value from a framework contractor than from re-tendering each package. Accumulated site knowledge, established EHS relationships, and pre-agreed commercial terms reduce cost, programme risk, and management burden.

Construction inside an operating production facility requires vibration control, contamination management, noise monitoring, and fire compartmentation — maintained throughout the programme. The contractor either understands this or creates operational risk.

Advanced manufacturing clients increasingly deliver through EPC partners or multi-contractor frameworks. The construction scope sits within a wider delivery programme — requiring a contractor who integrates with the project team rather than operating in isolation.

What We Build

Six facility types.
One delivery standard.

Cleanroom Construction

Controlled environment construction — ISO 5 to ISO 8 classifications. Partition systems, ceiling grids, HEPA filtration interfaces, and pressure cascade management.

ISO 5–8 HEPA interface Pressure cascade
Sub-Fab & Plant Room

Below-grade and adjacent plant spaces housing process utilities, CDA, UPW, vacuum, and exhaust systems. Heavy structural loadings, vibration isolation, and services-dense environments.

Process utility Heavy loadings Vibration isolation
Process Utility Buildings

Standalone and campus-integrated utility buildings — boiler houses, chiller compounds, CHP, electrical substations, and bulk chemical storage. Designed for the operational demands of the production facility.

CHP / chiller HV substation Bulk chemical
New-Build Production Facility

Greenfield and brownfield production buildings — structural frame, envelope, and internal fit-out delivered as principal contractor or within an EPC delivery team.

Greenfield / brownfield D&B EPC integration
Capital Maintenance & Retrofit

Structural repairs, envelope replacements, roof upgrades, and fabric maintenance programmes on operational campuses. Planned around production windows and shutdown schedules.

Production Line & Capacity Expansion

Extensions to existing production areas, new line fit-out, and capacity upgrades delivered within live facilities — coordinated around production schedules and operational constraints.

What We Build — Technical Specification

The disciplines we deliver
under one contract

Every discipline below is delivered under one contract — from structural frame to controlled environment finishes, MEP coordination to quality documentation. Construction access, demarcation, and permit-to-work protocols are integrated into every discipline.

Structural & Civil Works
Base Build

RC frame, structural steel, foundations, piling, and reinforced slabs designed for heavy process equipment loadings. Vibration isolation pads and anti-vibration mounts integrated from design stage.

RC Frame Heavy Loadings Vibration Isolation
Architectural & Controlled Environment Finishes
Process-Grade

Partition systems, ceiling grids, hygienic linings, coved junctions, and epoxy finishes. Fire compartment integrity maintained throughout — penetrations managed through formal permit and documented reinstatement.

Flush Panels Epoxy Coatings Fire Compartmentation
Cleanroom Classification & Pressure Integrity
ISO 5 — ISO 8

Controlled environment construction to ISO 14644. HEPA filtration interfaces, pressure cascade management, temporary containment, and construction-phase air sampling at all classified interfaces.

ISO 14644 Pressure Cascade Contamination Control
Mechanical & HVAC
Full MEP Coordination

AHU installation, ductwork, pipework, process cooling, and exhaust systems — coordinated within the master programme. All isolations managed through the facility's PTW system.

AHU / HVAC Process Cooling Exhaust Systems
Electrical & Instrumentation
LV & Controls

LV distribution, lighting, fire detection, emergency lighting, and BMS interface — designed and installed to support the classified environment. All electrical isolations planned and authorised through the facility's isolation management system.

LV Distribution BMS Interface Fire Detection
Process Utility Infrastructure
Clean Utilities

CDA, UPW, vacuum, exhaust, and clean steam systems — equipment bases, vibration isolation, and full services coordination. Live system tie-ins managed as discrete controlled activities with isolation and recommissioning protocols.

CDA / UPW Vacuum / Exhaust Live Tie-Ins
Vibration & Environmental Control
VC-A to VC-E

Vibration criteria established with the client's process engineering team before mobilisation. Real-time monitoring, agreed trigger levels, noise control, and contamination management maintained throughout construction.

Real-Time Monitoring Noise Control Trigger Levels
Documentation & Quality Assurance
ITP & Traceability

ITPs, material certificates, inspection sign-offs, NCR dispositions, and as-built records — captured progressively and structured for handover. Full traceability from procurement through to completion.

How We Deliver

Delivering alongside
live production

Advanced manufacturing clients cannot absorb unplanned production interruptions. A failed isolation, a contamination event, or a vibration exceedance costs more than any construction overrun. Our delivery model front-loads the risk into pre-construction — so the build integrates with the operation.

Construction methodology developed in consultation with the client's operations and engineering teams before mobilisation. Vibration limits, contamination controls, access constraints, and isolation requirements agreed and documented at the earliest stage.

Structural steel, cleanroom systems, specialist MEP, and process utility equipment procured early — before design is finalised on secondary packages. Lead times on these items govern the programme. Orders placed during pre-construction so the critical path is protected from day one.

Construction programme aligned with the production calendar — shutdowns, campaign changeovers, maintenance windows, and qualification periods determine when work can proceed. Programme and cost status reported weekly.

Vibration monitoring, noise control, contamination management, fire compartmentation, and access demarcation maintained throughout. Conroy operates fully within the client's permit-to-work and isolation management systems.

Structured digital handover — O&M manuals, as-built drawings, BIM model, and COBie data formatted for FM integration. 12-month defects liability period with active management.
