Each capability is named, scoped and tied to a deliverable.
R&D Centre Facility Engineering
DirectLab layout and zoning, fume hood and biosafety cabinet specifications, lab utility design (DI water, vacuum, compressed air, specialty gases) and HVAC for analytical and microbiology areas.
Kilo-Lab Setup
DirectProcess development at 100g to 10kg scale, the glovebox vs. open-bench decision, vent and scrubber engineering and hazardous chemical storage.
Analytical Lab Engineering
DirectInstrument lab utilities, HVAC for sensitive instruments, balance rooms, sample storage and waste handling.
Lab HVAC & Cleanroom Design
DirectHVAC for analytical, microbiology, sterile and cleanroom areas, with pressure cascade design, filter selection (HEPA, ULPA) and particulate and microbial classification compliance.
R&D Regulatory Coordination
CoordinationRegulatory submissions — SPCB (CTE/CTO), Factory Inspectorate, CDSCO where applicable, and local Fire and Electrical authority approvals.
Pilot Plant Engineering
DirectPilot plant at 50L to 1000L reactor scale, with reactor configuration, distillation, filtration and drying integration and scale-up parameter capture.
Pilot-to-Commercial Bridge Engineering
DirectEngineering review of pilot data to inform commercial-scale design, with equipment selection at commercial scale and mixing, heat transfer and mass transfer scale-up.
Process Safety Scale-Up Studies
DirectReaction calorimetry interpretation, runaway scenario analysis at commercial scale and relief sizing for commercial equipment.
Tech Transfer Engineering Support
DirectTech transfer between sites — common when products move from CDMO to internal manufacturing, or between plants of the same company.
Direct engineering experience setting up R&D centres and pilot plants for growing API and fine chemical manufacturers. Process safety scale-up engineering across multiple commercial commissionings.
Diagnostic Study
Short, focused engagement that produces a structured recommendation report.
- Starting a new client relationship
- Scoping a problem before a larger programme
- Pre-audit gap analysis
Project Engineering Mandate
End-to-end engineering for a defined project — greenfield train, retrofit or expansion.
- Greenfield API / chemical plant
- Capacity expansion
- Major equipment retrofit
Implementation Retainer
Sustained engineering support to carry a roadmap from recommendation to operating reality.
- Systemic, multi-front gaps
- Op-ex transformation
- Sustained capacity programmes
