Typical project scenario
Cleanroom Fit-Out
Controlled environment · Houston, TX
A Greater Houston semiconductor packaging facility built out a new ISO Class 7 cleanroom. HireAVac supplied a dedicated HEPA Protector vacuum that lived inside the cleanroom for the full fit-out and final particle-count validation.
Challenge
The cleanroom had to handoff at ISO Class 7 (≤352,000 particles ≥0.5 µm per m³) — and that was the target with people, equipment and routine activity inside. Construction debris from drop-ceiling install and final electrical pull was the biggest particle-count risk in the final week.
Solution
A HEPA Protector unit was decontaminated and double-bagged at our Houston yard, broken from its bag inside the anteroom. The vacuum exhausted through a final H14 stage, adding no particulate. It stayed inside the cleanroom for the full 5-week build and was the last piece of construction equipment removed before validation.
Results
- Particle count at handoff
- Within ISO Class 7 spec
- Validation
- Passed first attempt
- Re-cleaning required
- None
- Schedule impact
- Zero — validation on planned date
