Production logic

One building.
Five operating environments.

An EV facility is not a warehouse wrapped around equipment. Material movement, energy demand, environmental conditions, and process risk define the building.

The process leads. Architecture and systems follow.
  1. 01Cell manufacturingDry-room environment
  2. 02Module and pack assemblyClean and electrostatic-discharge-controlled production
  3. 03Formation and ageingHigh-density electrical process zone
  4. 04End-of-line testingTesting, discharge, and traceability
  5. 05Paint and body shopHazardous process environment
Integrated design condition

A change to process equipment can alter electrical capacity, heat rejection, ventilation, hazard zoning, structure, access, and the construction sequence. Those interfaces must remain visible in one coordinated environment.

Connected infrastructure

Four systems.
One production outcome.

Each system has its own calculations and standards. The facility works only when their operating assumptions agree.

PWR

High-current power

Power architecture follows the production line, not a generic building load.

  • Medium- and low-voltage distribution
  • Transformer stations and busway systems
  • Formation, testing, and charging loads
  • Power quality, earthing, and metering
ENV

Controlled environments

Temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and pressure become process parameters.

  • Dry-room dehumidification
  • Cleanroom-class environments
  • Process cooling and chilled water
  • Compressed dry air and inert gases
SAF

Chemical and fire safety

Lithium-ion and process hazards require a facility-specific protection strategy.

  • Lithium-ion fire strategy
  • ATEX zone coordination
  • Gas detection and interlocks
  • Containment and drainage interfaces
CTL

Controls and monitoring

Operators need one clear view of energy, environment, alarms, and process utilities.

  • Building management system design
  • Energy and power monitoring
  • Process utility controls
  • Commissioning and handover data
Protected outcomeStable production

Capacity, conditions, safety, and operational visibility stay connected.

Operating zones

Different rooms.
Different engineering briefs.

The production sequence stays continuous, but the technical rules change from zone to zone. Open each brief to see what drives the design.

01Cell manufacturingDry-room environmentEvery penetration can become a humidity risk.
Environment
Low-dew-point dehumidification with a resilient supply strategy
Interfaces
Penetrations coordinated to protect the controlled envelope
Safety
Lithium-ion hazards addressed through a project-specific fire strategy

Process equipment, structure, utilities, and maintenance access resolved together
02Module and pack assemblyClean and electrostatic-discharge-controlled productionThe production floor, services, and automation routes share the same space.
Environment
Controlled assembly areas with electrostatic-discharge requirements

Assembly lines, automated guided vehicle charging, and workstation distribution
Automation
Guide paths, charging points, controls, and safety interfaces coordinated in BIM
Design focus
Earthing and material requirements maintained across every discipline
03Formation and ageingHigh-density electrical process zonePower and heat rejection shape the building concept.
Power
Resilient supply for formation cyclers and associated process equipment
Environment

Monitoring

Design focus
Electrical capacity, cooling, and operating scenarios developed as one brief
04End-of-line testingTesting, discharge, and traceabilityTest infrastructure must be designed before the layout is frozen.
Power
Dedicated high-current discharge circuits and cable routes
Safety
Thermal-runaway detection and a coordinated protection zone
Data
Testing, logging, and supervisory-control infrastructure integrated with the layout
Design focus
Safe access, equipment replacement, and production continuity
05Paint and body shopHazardous process environmentHazardous and standard occupancy zones must operate inside one fire strategy.
Hazard zoning
ATEX classification for spray booths and flash-off areas
Ventilation
Supply, extract, volatile-organic-compound control, and solvent-recovery interfaces
Utilities
Process ventilation, power, controls, drainage, and fire-protection coordination
Design focus
Zone boundaries remain legible in models, drawings, and operating information

BIM and digital delivery

Resolve interfaces
before they become site decisions.

Building Information Modeling supports the engineering process when it connects the operating basis, physical coordination, technical review, and issued information.

  1. 01

    Set the operating basis

    Confirm process loads, environmental criteria, production zones, resilience targets, utility constraints, and responsibility boundaries.

    Design basis and interface register
  2. 02

    Build the system architecture

    Develop power, environmental, safety, control, and utility strategies around the production process and maintenance model.

    Coordinated system concepts
  3. 03

    Resolve the physical interfaces

    Coordinate equipment, routes, penetrations, hazardous zones, access, structure, and process utilities in the federated model.

    Reviewed BIM coordination record
  4. 04

    Issue usable information

    Connect calculations, models, schedules, diagrams, and decisions to tender, construction, commissioning, and handover needs.

    Traceable engineering package

Design control

A production brief
that stays connected

01

Capacity and environment

Electrical demand, heat rejection, air conditions, and utility capacity are tested against the production brief.

02

Hazards and continuity

Fire, chemical, hazardous-area, and operational scenarios are coordinated with the systems expected to respond.

03

Information and handover

Models, calculations, decisions, and asset information remain connected through design and delivery.
