Following completion of the pre-construction period and stage 3/4 design, we are delighted to announce commencement of the new research and development and manufacturing cleanroom fitout contract for KLA. CMB secured the MEP contract for this project and commenced work at the beginning of this month. We will be responsible for construction and fit out of the new external Gas Bunker and wet plantroom, utilising modern methods of construction to service the Mechanical, Electrical and Process systems.
The new state-of-the-art innovation centre and manufacturing facility will include offices, cleanrooms, storage and support facilities and will accommodate up to 750 employees within the new facility. The brand-new innovation centre will provide over 25,000 square feet (2,300m2) of cleanrooms for research and development and more than 35,000 square feet (3,250m2) of bespoke manufacturing assembly halls.
We pride ourselves on providing an excellence in engineering approach across all projects that we work on and will continue to work closely with the KLA Team and look forward to working with our trusted supply chain to deliver this new manufacturing facility.
