Critical Life Science Facilities Carry Regulatory Pressure 24/7
Regulators, contamination risk, and validation paperwork don't wait for a convenient time. Here's what that pressure actually looks like on the ground.
None of that goes away on its own. It takes a partner who treats compliance as part of the build, not an afterthought.
GMP-Ready. Reduced Operational Downtime. Audit-Ready.
We keep your facility's critical systems compliant and running, so your team can focus on the science, not the scramble.
Inside Our IFM & O&M Offers
"Facility management" can mean almost anything. Here's the specific scope our life science and pharma clients get, and why most of them start with one discipline and grow into both.
A Clear Path From Risk to Reliability
Local Expertise. Global Depth.
Backed by more than 90 years of combined experience in pharma and lab environments, and local teams in 17 countries, Equans Services brings global depth to every US facility we serve.
Life science and pharma facilities also sit at the intersection of two larger shifts Equans Services supports every day: the energy transition, as cleanrooms and critical utilities become one of the most energy-intensive parts of any manufacturing footprint, and the industrial transition, as pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing moves back onshore across the US. The same IFM and O&M discipline we bring to heavy industry and energy infrastructure carries straight into the lab and the cleanroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
It covers preventive and corrective maintenance, calibration, and documentation practices for your critical systems and equipment, built to hold up under Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) recordkeeping and FDA scrutiny, not just general facilities standards.
Yes. We regularly support teams closing gaps ahead of an inspection or responding to observations after one, from documentation cleanup to physical remediation of cleanrooms and critical utilities.
IQ, OQ, and PQ execution, validation documentation, and lifecycle asset management, so your equipment stays qualified and your change control stays defensible.
Yes. Our capabilities span design, construction, and ongoing maintenance of cleanrooms and critical utilities, including modular and prefabricated approaches that shorten installation time and reduce contamination risk during buildout.
Yes. Equans Services has extensive experience providing Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services for life sciences and pharmaceutical facilities across Canada and the United States. We support both multi-site portfolios and dedicated on-site operations. In addition, we are backed by the expertise and specialized capabilities of our sister companies, enabling us to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end solutions.
In 2025, Equans Group welcomed AdvanceTEC, a Richmond, Virginia-based leader in cleanroom design and construction for biotech, pharmaceutical, and other high-tech industries, into the Equans family. That capability sits alongside Equans' broader global experience in pharma and lab environments, giving US clients local, on-the-ground expertise backed by an international network.
We support everything from single-site labs and growing biotech facilities to large-scale multi-site pharmaceutical manufacturers, scaling our team and services to match your operation.
It depends on scope, but most engagements start with a facility assessment that we can typically schedule within a few weeks of first contact.
Both are possible. Many clients start with a single project, a validation push, a cleanroom build, an audit-readiness review, and move into an ongoing O&M or facility management relationship.
