We support the mechanical installation and integration of specialist process equipment, including:

  • Site surveys, measurements and installation planning
  • Mechanical positioning, fixing and equipment modifications
  • Ultra high purity gas distribution and orbital welded tubing
  • Vacuum forelines and associated pipework
  • Process cooling water and utility connections
  • Exhaust and abatement connections within the agreed scope

DECOMMISSIONING & RELOCATION SUPPORT

We assist with technical assessments, service identification, decommissioning planning, mechanical disconnections, removal of redundant pipework and alterations needed for replacement equipment. Specialist lifting, transport, electrical work and manufacturer commissioning are coordinated with appropriately qualified providers where required.

EXPERIENCE IN RESEARCH & CLEANROOM FACILITIES

ITM has experience of completed semiconductor process equipment installations in university research facilities, involving high purity gas, vacuum and cooling services, mechanical integration and testing. We also support feasibility and planning work for future process tool replacement projects, including MOVPE equipment.

FROM INITIAL SURVEY TO PRACTICAL INSTALLATION

Complex equipment projects need careful coordination of access, shutdown periods, utilities, specialist contractors and manufacturer requirements. We help establish what needs to happen, identify engineering constraints and deliver the mechanical elements within our agreed scope.
