Construction of a Prefabricated Modular Building for a Thermal Disinfection and Decontamination Station for Pathogenicity Groups III–IV Effluents

In late November 2021, the INEX engineering team conducted a comprehensive site visit to Dubna State University to survey the facilities designated for a major high-tech upgrade. The project involves the planning and organization of specialized cleanroom environments for two critical research hubs: the Chemical Power Sources (HIT) Laboratory and the Power Plants Laboratory.

Designing cleanrooms for academic and experimental research presents unique challenges, as the infrastructure must support both rigorous scientific protocols and the flexibility required for university-level experimentation.

Key Focus Areas of the Conceptual Design: The project is currently in the coordination phase, where specific design requirements are being aligned with the university’s research goals. Primary focus areas include:

• Personnel Logistics: Designing specialized gowning and de-gowning sequences to prevent contamination transfer between research zones.

• Security & Automation: Implementing automated access control systems (Sykud) to ensure only authorized personnel enter high-purity zones.

• Environmental Monitoring: Integrating automated systems to track and control temperature, humidity, and particle counts in real-time.

• Sterility & Integrity: Developing architectural solutions that maintain the required cleanliness classes for energy-sector research and chemical analysis.

Technological Synergy: The HIT and Power Plant laboratories require distinct environmental parameters. INEX is working to create a conceptual project that balances these specific technological needs with the architectural constraints of the university’s existing buildings, ensuring a seamless flow between general campus areas and high-purity research zones.
