This construction forms part of the ThermoFisher site at Perth. The facility provides specialized in sample collection products for critical Covid-19 testing and is expanding given the significant demand globally. The added capacity and increased efficiencies will allow ThermoFisher to scale production in Perth to more than 8 million filled tubes per week.

FES was fully responsible for leading the co-ordination for the overall project, for all MEP Services and all other third party co-ordination. Our scope of work included engineering, drafting and installation of various aspects including contractor design, manufacture and assembly of complex service modules, thermal expansion of wet services and brackets/supports.

This project opportunity arose from the FES Groups successful participation in delivering the Louisa Jordan Hospital and performing ongoing maintenance within the operational hospital facility. Following a competitive bid process, FES were awarded the contract on the 2nd of November 2020 with an immediate start and a fast track delivery to be achieved.

The Covid Testing Regional Laboratory (CTRL North) is situated within the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service building on Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Foresterhill site. Primarily, the project entailed refurbishing an existing first floor area comprising of labs, consulting and administration areas to reconfigure in line with the test facility functional flow process.

The purpose of the facility is for the provision of laboratory and analytical services capable of processing up to 4000 Covid-19 test samples per day, with future capability to increase to up to 8000 samples. The project was part of the Government roll out scheme of regional test facilities and of a high profile, time critical nature.
