Bunge Srl
The project
Preliminary and detailed design of the new state-of-the-art laboratory dedicated to the study of GMOs for Bunge Srl, at its Ravenna site.
The aim of the project is to create a secure, technologically advanced research facility designed to ensure maximum control over contamination risks, in order to support innovation in the agri-food sector.
Project launched in 2024.
The customer
Bunge Srl is part of a leading international group in the agri-food sector, specialising in the processing and marketing of agricultural raw materials and ingredients for the food industry.
Innovation, quality and safety are central to the company’s strategy, with ongoing investment in research and development to ensure high standards and competitiveness in the market.
Before the project: the client’s requirements
Bunge has highlighted the need to establish a highly specialised laboratory for the study of GMOs, designed in accordance with strict safety and containment criteria.
The main requirement was to create a space capable of:
- minimise any risk of cross-contamination;
- ensure controlled and traceable operational flows;
- integrate advanced environmental control technologies;
- to ensure full regulatory compliance and the highest reliability of search results.
A laboratory in which the layout, systems and spatial organisation were designed from the outset to support scientific precision, operational efficiency and safety.
Our approach: the solution
Our approach follows a well-established procedure, divided into two key stages.
- Preliminary design
- In-depth analysis of the client’s needs and objectives
- Definition of the overall concept for the laboratory
- Study of the functional layout designed to separate traffic flows and reduce the risk of contamination
- Identification of the most suitable technical and plant engineering solutions
- Detailed design
- * Detailed specification of each architectural and services component
- * Selection of materials suitable for ensuring safety, hygiene and durability
- * Design of environmental control systems
- * Implementation of containment protocols and operational procedures designed to ensure the utmost integrity of research activities
In addition to design, Labs2Life provides comprehensive consultancy on technical and scientific fit-outs, analysing the entire workflow to optimise equipment layout, spatial organisation and the overall efficiency of the laboratory.
