Plant engineering
and assembly
Our range of services for plant operators in the Life Science sector includes components, modules, complete process units and even turnkey plants. We provide both prefabrication and on-site assembly. And, of course, our services also include the installation of the plant systems such as piping, process control and a full state-of-the-art qualification. What all our products and services have in common: they are customized to meet the special requirements of our customers.
We build plants for our customers in the food and pharmaceutical industries that meet the high standards of quality and hygiene. The advantage for our customers is that we combine all services (including electrical engineering and automation) for plant construction at Bilfinger. This enables us to produce food and additives in high reproducible quality, which is essential in the life science industry."

What sets us apart
- Many decades of experience in the manufacture of components and plants for the Life Science industry
- Services from a range of trades and specialists from a single source
- Extensive knowledge of processes and requirements in the industrial production of Life Science products
- Time- and cost-optimized processes thanks to an intelligent modular concept: installation of prefabricated components minimizes disruptions caused by assembly in the plant
- A high level of expertise in the on-site installation of equipment including relevant qualification
- Well-known, international references
- Process plants
Bioreactor systems and fermentation plants, CIP/SIP systems, preparation systems, purification systems, modules and (super)skids, plant equipment, pure media systems - Process control
- Media supply and disposal
- Wastewater treatment
We have outstanding expertise in the (pre)fabrication of components, modules and plants. This approach has a number of advantages over on-site assembly:
- Controlled work processes in our own workshop: Compliance with the strictest quality standards
- Use of the most suitable technical equipment
- Fewer challenges presented as a result of confined space, noise, dust generation and safety
- Minimal disruption to plant operations due to fast and safe assembly of prefabricated modules on site
- Reduction of the total construction time
specific sequencing tools and professional organization. A key component of our work is coordination with Construction Management and compliance with safety guidelines and regulations.
The most frequently requested services in our portfolio include:
- Piping construction
- Steel construction
- Equipment installation
- Insulation
We deliver all these services from a single source and provide the specialists needed for the task at hand. The advantage for the customer: Time and effort for coordinating trades is minimized.
We conduct qualifications that meet both customer requirements and the strictest regulatory standards, such as current “Good Manufacturing Practice” (cGMP) in the pharmaceutical industry:
- Risk analyses for design qualification, installation qualification and functional qualification
- Project-specific qualification concepts
- GMP-compliant documented acceptance test plans and reports that are used for factory acceptance tests and/or on-site acceptance tests
Intelligent automation concepts are key to turn individual components into a fully functional plant. In this context, we offer the following services:
- Hardware and software concept development
- Software development
- Process visualization
- Interface coordination
- Staff training
- Documentation
