Protoclean is quality control for clean-build construction of cleanrooms.

Mobilization

ACM is mobilized and on-site as soon as the interior building is weathertight and installations of return ducts, process piping, unistruts, pipe hangers, and other utilities downstream of the clean air are started.

Equipment and Tool Hook-up Protoclean Protocols are executed once the facility passes the As-Built Certification. At the completion of Tool Hook-up, a second Certification is performed under At Rest Conditions.
