In the core of our work is a deep understanding of analysis, careful design, and thorough documentation. We are not just consultants; we are an integrated part of the industry, and our team brings passion and expertise to the projects, which are essential for realizing successful projects in this sector. We cannot claim to save lives or cure diseases. We do not produce any medicine, but we put all our engineering and consultancy expertise behind the companies that do. Concept to completionAcknowledging that each task and customer are unique, we develop an individual project strategy in collaboration with the client. We address the most important needs, whether we are taking part in the conceptualization of a new production facility or remodeling parts of an existing factory within a tight timeframe. We are involved in the projects from the initial decisions and throughout the entire process – from concept development, master planning, and design to the final phases such as validation and commissioning. Our project model is based on extensive in the pharmaceutical industry. The Pharma & Life Science division comprises 100 dedicated engineers, architects, and process specialists with specialized knowledge. As the task expands, we leverage the expertise of our 9,000 colleagues within the Artelia Group One of the largest pharma consultants in the industryIn May 2022, LBP Engineering joined Artelia. The merger was a win-win match. With LBP’s strong skills within process engineering, tests and qualification and Artelia’s wide range of multidisciplinary qualifications, we have created a pharma division that is among the greatest in the Danish market. When clean just isn’t clean enoughArtelia design cold rooms according to our clients’ needs, always searching for the right solutions to save resources and guarantee cleanliness. This was the case at Xellia Pharmaceuticals where Artelia took an innovative approach to construct a class C cold room. Commotion in BusytownLarge-scale refurbishment and expansion works were required at Novozymes’ plant in Kalundborg, Denmark – without hindering daily operations.

Artelia has designed Xellia’s CIP equipment with an emphasis on usability. Hospital Pharmacy AalborgThe project included rebuilding the personnel sluices where the personnel put on clean room suits before entering production rooms. The requirements for sterility are extemely high, since the preparation and production of sterile pharmaceuticals are class B, C and D in accordance with EU’s rules for GMP (Good Manufacutring Practice). Furthermore the project included preliminary examination of air change in the cytostika zone where chemotherapy is produced. Client Region Nordjylland Services Clean room technique and all engineering in the reconstruction. Artelia even supplied all services within the qualification of cGMP (current Good Manufactoring Practice), the compliance with EU requirements and ISO requirements for production of sterile pharmaceuticals. Glostrup PharmacyClean rooms in class C has been established for pharmaceutical production. Furthermore the project encompasses new areas for the production of hormones and tablets and a FMS-system for surveillance of temperature and particles. All ventilation systems has been replaced, while additional installations are modernised in order to accomodate the current requirements and the new layout. The production area is being qualified. Client Glostrup Pharmacy Services Engineering consultancy and clean room technique.
