Life Sciences
The way life sciences companies create, store, use, and access data is changing. Digital transformation initiatives and projects are digitalising not only the data itself but the processes and workflows that use that data. This is driving efficiency savings, quality improvements, and oversight, as well as optimising compliance processes, ensuring audit readiness, and reducing risks.
One area of digital transformation that should not be overlooked is building and facility data. Inaccurate building and facility data can delay projects, increase project costs, and lead to unnecessary and expensive periods of unplanned production line downtime. A lack of access to complete and accurate building data can also impact product quality resulting in potential knock-on impacts on patient safety, compliance, and brand reputation.

Geospatial Surveying for Site Optimisation
In the life sciences sector, facility location is critical. You need data to ensure site selection and layout planning align with business needs and objectives.
Our geospatial surveying expertise will provide you with highly accurate site data that you can use to make informed decisions. Whether you’re expanding an existing facility or building a new one, our precise site information optimises space utilisation, identifies risks, and ensures compliance with local regulations.
BIM Consultancy for Efficient Design and Compliance
Life sciences sector facilities demand meticulous design to ensure optimised manufacturing operations, R&D, and quality control. It is also necessary to ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
Our BIM consultancy solutions streamline design and construction processes, ensuring projects remain on schedule and within budget. We enable seamless collaboration between architects, engineers, and construction teams, ensuring your facility not only meets but exceeds industry standards. This leads to on-time project delivery, reduced costs, and a facility designed for optimal functionality and safety.
As-Is Building and Facility Data for Renovation & Extension Projects
At Tantek 4D, we have experience working with companies in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries delivering geospatial surveying, BIM (building information modelling), and digital twin solutions. That experience includes members of our team completing scanning and data capture tasks while adhering to strict safety and quality procedures and protocols. This work delivers significant benefits to our life sciences sector clients, including multinational corporations.
While every project is different, examples of the impact of our services on life sciences sector facilities include:
- Upgrading, expanding, modifying, or replacing a production line requires accurate building and facility data. With the level of investment that is required in production line improvement/installation projects and the compliance and operational risks that exist, it doesn’t make sense to work from old drawings and specifications that will inevitably be out of date. Geospatial surveying and digital twin solutions can provide you with complete and accurate data on your facility as it is now.
- Renovation, expansion, or new build construction projects benefit from the coordination and collaboration that comes from the central access to data that can be achieved through a customised BIM solution.
- Advanced digital twin solutions can be developed that enhance integration across your entire facility making it as easy to conduct maintenance checks on production line equipment as it is to confirm the temperature and humidity levels in your facility and the status of your ventilation and cooling system.
The above examples are just some of the ways as-is building and facility data can benefit organisations in the life sciences sector. All companies can benefit, but the advantages are amplified if you are planning any sort of construction, improvement, or physical change project in the coming years. Having access to as-is facility data today will prevent headaches, challenges, and increased risks in the future.
Benefits of Complete and Accurate Data
- Ensure physical infrastructure and production line projects are better planned with reduced project, compliance, and operational risks.
- Get better oversight of your facility’s sustainability performance with data that will also help with decision-making to ensure you remain on track with targets and statutory responsibilities.
- Improve the health and safety of staff and contractors operating in your facility through enhanced training, access to information, and improved SOPs (standard operating procedures) related to the facility, its maintenance, and health & safety topics.
- Improve operational oversight and control over your entire facility.
- Improve asset tracking capabilities.
- Improve facility maintenance processes to prevent issues from occurring, especially those that result in unplanned production line downtime.
