High-tech capabilities
CONTAINMENT FACILITIES
From Grade C cytotoxic active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) facilities through to PC4 containment facilities, we deliver compliant, certified facilities to contain highly toxic, potent or infectious materials. To assist in the certification of PC3 and PC4 facilities we have designed and built a pressure test rig to perform tests as specified in AS 2243.3 2010, Appendix H. This allows us to monitor the integrity of the facility as it is built, giving certainty to the final result. Earlier this year Wilkore completed work on the PC3 labs at Parkville Neuroscience.
CLEANROOMS
For over 15 years we have been delivering cleanrooms certified to ISO 5 and Grade A for the pharmaceutical, biotech, research and micro / nanotechnology industries. We source suitable materials and systems domestically and internationally to meet the requirements of cleanrooms. Our considerable experience has enabled us to develop design profiles to support the construction process in clean environments. Our competitive advantage is our ability to use our specialist installation staff to deliver a fully certified facility. The University of South Australia contracted us to build a cleanroom in 2008, and we are currently working on another.
LABORATORIES
We have a long history of success in the construction of laboratories. We build facilities for research and testing industries in fields like organic chemistry, microbiology, quality control and quality assurance, and the micro and nanotechnology spheres. We have completed several specialist high containment laboratories to house specific processes such as photolithography, chemical deposition and PCR and equipment like lasers, mask aligners and NMR units. We are constantly improving our methods of minimising environmental impacts; for example installing specialist air conditioning systems, constructing using low VOC materials and incorporating water re-use facilities. We constructed extensive laboratories for then Ecowise, now ALS.
Dagard Panel system
We at Wilkore have worked with the Dagard panel system since 2004 to provide turnkey facilities and stand alone installations. We have installed over 30,000m2 of Dagard panels for clients such as Sigma, IVF Australia, University of South Australia, Advent and VIDRL. Using the Dagard sandwich panels we can ensure cleanability, material compatibility, air-flow control and flexibility to meet a project's unique requirements.

AUTOMATED CONTAINER STORAGE
Wilkore offers its clients a unique opportunity with its expertise in automated container storage (ACS) systems. In 2006 Wilkore completed construction on the world's largest ACS, with a capacity to store 1,200 full-size shipping containers, for Kent Moving & Storage. Wilkore designed, constructed and commissioned the facility to meet Kent's logistic needs. ACS systems are designed for speed, reliability, efficiency, and to maximise the available storage volume at your location. Using the computer-operated 'Plan Ahead Position' system, containers are handled with reduced timeframes and labour costs. Systems can be incorporated into standard warehouse facilities and configured to suit your requirements. Our ACS expertise is one example of Wilkore's commitment to technological innovation.
