QC3 & PC3 Containment Facilities

TPC were chosen to deliver the QC3 and PC3 containment facilities for the NSW Department of Primary Industries.

The $56 million ($43.0M construction) upgrade of biosecurity facilities included the construction of a large new secure laboratory precinct. It includes high-containment certified PC2 and PC3 laboratories for virology, bacteriology, microbiology and molecular biology; refurbishment of existing animal and plant health laboratories, and an upgrade of electrical and safety systems.

The Dagard System was chosen for the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute as it creates a unique clean environment that is easy to maintain. This project also included highly specialized two and four door pass throughs with UV decontamination and dunk tanks. Dagard have made significant advances in the Bio-security and Medical Research industry. This proven system which includes a unique fully flush design for all windows, doors and accessories is supplied and engineered by the one company. The modular system reduces installation time, and due to a reduction in trades, can also significantly reduce the time required to meet PC3 leakage rate requirements.
