Case Study: WHO-GMP Interior Upgrade at GIDC Savli, Vadodara

Interior upgrades inside a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility require more than a conventional fit-out schedule. Access, cleanliness, approved materials, service interfaces and the operating status of adjoining areas all influence how work can be sequenced.

Sisco Profiles' project record describes an interior upgrade for an API manufacturer at GIDC Savli, Vadodara, with the plant partially operational throughout the works. This draft deliberately avoids publishing unverified floor area, project value, dates, room classifications or client-confidential process details.

Project context

• Location: GIDC Savli, Vadodara

• Facility: API manufacturing plant

• Work type: interior upgrade

• Operating constraint: plant remained partially operational during the work

Planning around a partially operational plant

The first step is to agree which areas can be released, when access is permitted and which activities require shutdowns or special controls. A zone-based plan should identify interfaces between live operations, contractor work areas, material routes and waste removal.

Define boundaries and access controls

The facility team should approve work boundaries, access routes, permits, worker induction, material movement and the process for isolating affected services. Do not assume a particular cleanroom classification or GMP control regime; follow the facility's approved procedures and quality system.

Sequence services before closing ceilings and walls

Review HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire systems and other services against the approved drawings before closing concealed areas. Record inspections and approvals at the agreed hold points so the team can trace what was installed and accepted.

Control materials, cleanliness and handover records

Confirm finish specifications, cleaning methods, packaging, storage and protection requirements with the plant's engineering and quality teams. Maintain material approvals, inspection records, test results, as-built information and a clear snag closure process.

Questions to resolve before starting a pharma fit-out

• Which production areas will remain operational?

• What permits and work windows apply?

• Who approves materials and samples?

• What testing or qualification documentation is required?

• How will interfaces with existing utilities be isolated, tested and handed back?
