Life Sciences
The pharmaceutical industry operates to the most exacting international standards of quality and technical excellence. These global organisations operate highly serviced production and research installations and require complex engineering services solutions.
Over the last 30 years we have established a strong client base among the leading biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies, including Abbott, Alexion, Allergan, Astellas, Janssen, Mallinckrodt and MSD, amongst others. Kirby works closely as a project partner with our pharmaceutical clients to deliver solutions to ensure that production and process facilities operate to optimum efficiency with close monitoring of process variables. We provide electrical and instrumentation services, specialist installations for HVAC and associated pipework in addition to providing power solutions for the HV/MV requirements of large manufacturing plants.
Featured Case Study
Project: Electrical and Mechanical Contracts in the CUB, Site-wide, MS & T and Warehouse Areas.
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Value: €25m
