cleanroom LUMIBIRD, a specialist in laser technologies, built a 640 m² ISO 8 facility in less than 8 months.
Construction and integration of a cleanroom within an existing building
LUMIBIRD / QUANTEL TECHNOLOGIES, a specialist in laser technologies, was previously based in Les Ulis. The company is expanding rapidly, and has moved to a larger site in Villejust (Essonne), in an existing building. As the building in question was not large enough to take the weight of a new cleanroom ceiling, VÊPRES had to supply a secondary steel structure to take the extra load. This also enabled the air handling units to be installed high up, saving floor space and freeing up maximum volume for LUMIBIRD's storage and operations.

cleanroom Construction of a 640 m² ISO 8 facility in Villejust, France, for LUMIBIRD - QUANTEL TECHNOLOGIES.
A steady pace
Among the constraints faced by VÊPRES was an ambitious schedule! The order was placed in May 2022, with delivery scheduled for the end of the same year. Significant in-house resources were therefore mobilized, particularly during the summer period, and a sustained pace had to be imposed on the assembly teams. Particular attention was paid to co-activity with other trades throughout the project. As for commissioning, it took place between December 15 and 31, a holiday period that is not usually conducive to a major mobilization of teams... Finally, the company had to manage the longer lead times for the supply of raw materials that characterized the year 2022. Once again, VÊPRES has risen to the challenge!
About LUMIBIRD
LUMIBIRD is one of Europe's leaders in laser technologies. It was born in 2017 from the merger of the KEOPSYS group, specialized in fiber laser technologies, and the QUANTEL group, specialist in solid-state laser technologies, diodes and medical equipment. Its fields of application are numerous, including industrial and scientific, space, medical, transport, etc. For the cleanroom project in Villejust, LUMIBIRD has renewed its confidence in VÊPRES, which had already been involved in previous projects.
In the heart of an existing building
LUMIBIRD / QUANTEL TECHNOLOGIES, a specialist in laser technologies, has moved to a larger site. The existing building was not dimensioned to support the weight of a new cleanroom ceiling. VÊPRES supplied a secondary steel structure to support the overloads and install the air handling units at height, freeing up floor space for LUMIBIRD's activities.
