Our Industrial Lab Design Services

Our company offers complete industrial laboratory design solutions, which start from the first analysis and continue until the final engineering work. The team works to develop all operational activities of the laboratory through three main objectives, which include achieving maximum efficiency, adhering to all regulations and creating systems that work together with existing industrial operations.

Requirement Analysis & Feasibility Study

Industrial laboratories achieve successful operations through their initial process assessment identification. Ziebaq starts by examining your operational goals, technical requirements, compliance needs, and workflow patterns.

  • Process understanding and workflow mapping: We analyse your laboratory’s fundamental operations, which include sample preparation and testing, analysis and reporting, through data-backed workflow mapping methods. The process identifies bottlenecks through discovering inefficient sample handoff points while it achieves path optimisation, which decreases cycle times by 30%. We create maps of crude oil distillation workflows in oil and gas laboratories to achieve complete integration with upstream operations.
  • Risk and hazard assessment: We carry out comprehensive hazard identification (HAZID) assessments together with detailed risk assessments, which examine chemical exposure risks and flammability hazards, pressure-related dangers and ergonomic safety issues. Our organisation uses Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as a tool to measure risks, while we suggest protective measures that include zoning areas for volatile solvents.
  • Capacity planning: We forecast throughput based on equipment specifications, staff requirements and maximum operational capacity. We determine bench requirements for a 500-sample-per-day environmental testing laboratory by calculating that each analyst needs 2.5 square meters of space and the laboratory needs to store 10,000 vials while preparing for a 20 per cent future expansion.

Space Planning & Layout Optimisation

The laboratory design needs to function as an optimised workspace to enhance productivity, safety, and streamline work operations. Ziebaq focuses on intelligent space planning and layout optimisation so every square meter works efficiently.

  • Efficient workflow zoning: The receiving, storage, waste, analysis and prep spaces of our facility exist as separate zones. The facility maintains a single-direction flow path to stop any possibility of cross-contamination. The laboratory maintains separate areas for sterile and non-sterile substances to comply with Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.
  • Separation of hazardous/non-hazardous areas: Hazardous zones that handle acids and flammable materials implement blast-proof barriers together with separate ventilation systems that keep their operations distinct from clean analysis areas to meet OSHA and SFDA requirements.
  • Operator safety and accessibility: The layouts of the space use aisles that have a width of 1.2 meters, together with benches that can change height between 700 millimetres and 1100 millimetres, and they provide ergonomic seating options. The layout design, which positions laboratories close to their utility sources, helps to decrease the time needed to reach equipment, resulting in lower fatigue levels during food testing operations.

Engineering Design & Drawings

Ziebaq creates precise engineering documents that enable efficient project execution and installation work. The technical design team creates complete project drawings and system plans that guide all stages of the implementation process.

  • Detailed AutoCAD layouts: The AutoCAD plans for 2D and 3D design work include precise measurements and equipment layout specifications and pedestrian movement patterns, which the design team uses to create utility and furniture arrangements.
  • P&ID (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams): The diagrams show the complete piping system, which includes all pipes, valves, sensors and process controls that protect against leaks during gas chromatography operations.
  • Utility routing plans: The optimised routes establish two benefits because they decrease pipe bends, which lead to pressure drops, and they create dedicated trays to store electrical and gas lines for maintenance purposes.

HVAC & Ventilation Design

Industrial laboratories require systems that can manage fumes, vapours, heat loads and airborne contaminants. Proper ventilation functions as an essential condition that protects workers while maintaining process stability. Ziebaq designs HVAC systems that meet your laboratory’s requirements.

  • Industrial-grade airflow systems: We try to aim for 10 to 20 air changes per hour (ACH), with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predicting turbulence-free air movement.
  • Fume extraction and exhaust systems: According to SASO’s instructions, fume hoods must operate at face velocities ranging between 0.3-0.5 m/s, with ducted exhausts that remove HCl or solvent vapours by venting them to the outside.
  • Temperature & humidity control: Precision controls maintain a temperature range of 22±2°C and a humidity range of 50±10% RH through the use of PID controllers, which maintain operational stability in biotech incubators.

Utility & Infrastructure Planning

Industrial laboratories need reliable utility services that support their equipment operations, testing activities and regular work procedures. Ziebaq establishes essential infrastructure components to ensure your laboratory maintains its operational performance.

  • Gas pipeline systems (industrial gases): The system needs PVC or stainless steel piping, which will transport N2, O2, Ar and H2 gases through pressure regulators that operate at 0-10 bar and with leak detection systems.
  • Electrical systems with backup (UPS/generators): The facility uses 415V three-phase panels, which have UPS systems that provide 10-30 minutes of backup power and diesel generators with capacity exceeding 500kVA to maintain data integrity during chromatography operations.
  • Water supply, drainage, and waste systems: RO-purified water system operates at 18MΩ·cm as its pure water output and uses acid-resistant drains which contain neutralisers to handle acid waste while its hazardous and non-hazardous waste lines remain completely separated.

Laboratory Furniture Design

Industrial labs need furniture that can handle demanding use while resisting chemicals, heat and corrosion. Ziebaq designs laboratory furniture that balances strength, endurance, comfort and operational capacity.

  • Heavy-duty industrial lab furniture: Steel bench frames (load-bearing capacity 500 kg/m²) that can hold analytical balances and ovens.
  • Chemical- and heat-resistant worktops: Epoxy resin surfaces protect against 98% H2SO4 acid and 200°C temperature exposure, while phenolic materials serve as a replacement solution for solvent-heavy pharmaceutical laboratory operations.
  • Anti-corrosion materials: Powder-coated galvanised steel or fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) cabinets indeed prevent corrosion in the humid Gulf climate.

Safety & Compliance Design

The laboratory designs of Ziebaq include safety features as fundamental elements of their design process. Our laboratory designs create safe environments by reducing potential hazards while providing essential emergency response systems that comply with industrial safety standards.

  • Fire safety and explosion-proof systems: ATEX-rated installations, CO2 suppression systems, and fire-rated walls (with 2-hour-peripheral sealing properties).
  • Emergency response setups: Eye wash stations should provide a 15-minute flow, safety showers must flow at 20 gallons per minute, and illumination should be made available for exit paths.
  • Hazard containment solutions: Secondary barrier basins (110% leak volume) and spill kits on every bench.

Cleanroom & Controlled Environment Design

Ziebaq provides cleanroom design solutions, along with specialised controlled-environment systems, that industrial facilities use for operations that require maintained environmental conditions to protect contamination-sensitive work processes.

  • ISO Class Cleanrooms: ISO 7/8 cleanrooms with 60 m³/h HEPA-filtered air.
  • Contamination control systems: ULPA filters (99.999% efficient) along with sticky mats in the entrance area.
  • Pressure differentials: +15Pa cascades to prevent ingress.

Key Features of Our Industrial Lab Designs

Our designs stand out with these engineered advantages:

  • Built with High Load and Continuous Usage: building with enough strength to handle 24/7 hits thrown at it by shakers or centrifuges.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Corrosion-resistant materials include FRP sheets and PVDF pipes for petrochemical conditions.
  • Energy-Efficient Systems: The HVAC system saves 25 per cent of its energy consumption through its variable frequency drives. The system allows 50 per cent faster expansion through its plug-and-play benches.
