Our services
We advise our clients whether they are planning a new greenfield plant, considering an expansion of an existing facility, or seeking to operate their facilities more sustainably, Bilfinger Life Science is the partner of choice.
Formulating initial ideas in conceptual planning, creating a basic design as a basis for further project detailing, or formulating technical solutions concretely and professionally in detailed planning - all this is available from Bilfinger Life Science IN A PACKAGE or as an individual SERVICE to be passed on.
An experienced team of plant experts is available to develop pragmatic solutions quickly and with state-of-the-art design tools.
The production of high-quality equipment that is functionally suitable for the respective area of application is becoming an increasingly complex task in the global environment. Transforming the optimal and balanced combination of components into an excellently functioning whole is one of our core competencies at Bilfinger Life Science.
The right quality at a competitive price is the key to our customers' success in the marketplace.
A tank, a pump, a valve, a flow monitor, etc. do not make a fully functional system. It is the application of a well thought out process control concept that transforms the individual components into a fully functional plant. We design and build with individual, customer-specific requirements in mind.
Bilfinger Life Science offers comprehensive solutions in the areas of automation technology, EI&C and control cabinet construction, as well as integrated and comprehensive IT automation and process digitalization.
We make your factory smart!
Installing equipment on site requires expertise, project specific sequencing and organization. Coordination with construction management (overall site management) and compliance with safety guidelines and regulations is an integral part of our work.
At the same time, commissioning provides proof that all services required in the specification are actually performed under production conditions.
Early involvement of the operator in the commissioning process helps to communicate the function of the individual components of the plant and provides the operating personnel with a solid basis for subsequent operation.
In addition to the highly complex and comprehensive requirements of modern GMP regulations in the pharmaceutical sector, there are also increasing demands for transparency and traceability in the food and Pure Water industries.
Bilfinger Life Science uses its decades of experience to offer state-of-the-art qualification and documentation solutions to other industries as well and to convince end customers and authorities.
Safe process operation, new requirements, new technologies, new ideas:
We also support our customers in the operating phase of their plants with our expertise for plants and processes in the life science industry.
The plants we design and build have a service life that extends far beyond any contractual obligations. Whether maintenance is mandatory, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, or requested by the customer, we have highly trained technicians and qualified engineers with many years of experience to do the job. These service specialists are already involved during commissioning and look after the systems and customers throughout their service life. The Bilfinger Group's extensive service network enables us to be on site quickly
Especially in the project business, you have to get a lot of things right in procurement: the right products/services in the right quality and quantity at the right place at the right time - and at the right cost.
This is why our procurement management is an integral part of our services and is closely interlinked with project management. We have access to an extensive network of reliable partners and suppliers in the Bilfinger Group. The benefit for the customer: minimal effort in supplier management.
