PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Kirby was appointed to complete the electrical and mechanical scope of works for a new manufacturing facility at Edwards Lifesciences.

The project involved the fit-out of an existing fallow space to construct a medical devices production facility to an ISO 7 cleanroom standard.
