Pond's engineering and construction management teams have designed, constructed, and commissioned over 100 sterilization projects ranging from greenfield projects through facility additions, capital planning, emission controls, and utility systems. We design and implement e-Beam, x-ray, steam, gamma, H2O2, and ethylene oxide terminal sterilization facilities for medical device manufacturers protecting against patient infections with the appropriate sterilization modality. Pond's process engineering and controls group leads the industry in the understanding and implementation of EPA’s regulatory impact on the operations of commercial sterilizers. We pioneered a design approach that will achieve compliance at any facility for Method 204. Our expertise in EPA’s EtO National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and application of EPA’s Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) are trusted in the commercial sterilization industry for greenfield projects, through chamber additions to successful solutions for fugitive emissions capture systems, degassing cell upgrades and all manner of low and high concentration EtO destruction abatement systems. When our clients choose electron beam sterilization to improve their supply chain integrity, our team provides complete structural design and construction management of the critical concrete shielding infrastructure, along with all mechanical, electrical, process and material handling work for a uniquely integrated project. Our clients benefit from our unique understanding of the construction costs and the fast-track design approach needed to expedite the project’s accelerator delivery while enjoying the earliest possible site mobilization construction start.
Pond embraces client goals to reach final product validations that support the timely and robust delivery of critical sterilized products to their healthcare customers.
