two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The room layout can be found in Appendix 2.0. The three autoclaves currently installed at Quadram Institute supporting the CL3 facility are to be replaced as part of this project. The existing chamber sizes and volumes are as follows: -
Autoclave 1 - Dimensions: 672mm x 672mm x 1000mm deep / Volume: 452 litres Autoclave 2 - Dimensions: 672mm x 920mm x 1350mm deep / Volume: 830 litres Autoclave 3 - Dimensions: 672mm x 920mm x 1540mm deep / Volume: 930 litres *
*existing double door autoclave.
The autoclaves are used to process porous, hard good and media loads, including waste media (Hazard Group 3 minimum requirements). For Fluids loads, volumes processed from small volume (10ml) up to large volume (3L) containers. Load Probe Control is therefore a requirement.
Clause 2.0 of the URS and Appendix 1.0 provide typical process requirements.
The existing units are in use daily at present and will remain in operational use until the new Autoclaves have been manufactured and transported to site.
It is intended to utilise the existing services to the current autoclaves for the new autoclaves where possible, where these need to be modified then this will form part of the project work undertaken by the supplier. The successful supplier will also be required to specify the specific utility infrastructure requirements (steam flow/pressure, electrical capacity etc), provide drawings and confirm heat loads for the new autoclaves.
The successful supplier will be required to engage with the Project Team to ensure that the programme for the replacement is realistic and timely. The autoclave room will be operational throughout the replacement works and detailed programming for work tasks is essential for all aspects of the project.
