Prochem has been shortlisted as a result of its inventive and determined approach to the design and delivery of The Equilibration Warehouse, a close control, high temperature and relative humidity storage facility on behalf of its client, Teva Pharmaceuticals Ireland Ltd.
The Equilibration Warehouse project, conceived and implemented by Prochem, saw the successful application of a new and alternative ventilation design to that of the existing equilibration facility. By reducing the energy consumption requirements per pallet space by as much as 80 %, the end result has allowed Teva to significantly scale-up its warehousing operations without increasing energy costs. Prochem brought a 15-strong team to the project, all of whom have significant pharmaceutical engineering experience. It was led by Kevin Lynch, Prochem Director of Building Services Engineering with significant support from Mark Campion as Senior Building Services Engineer.

"We are very proud of The Equilibration Warehouse project we delivered for our client Teva. We apply best practice to all client work but it’s very rewarding to have this acknowledged publicly by an awards initiative as prestigious as the Irish Pharmas. It is also gratifying that, of all the projects and companies nominated across all award categories, Prochem is the only engineering consultancy company considered, which is a testament to the expertise of our team in Kilkenny and the value placed on them by our industry," commented Donal Higgins, Managing Director, Prochem Engineering Ltd.
