Build Safer, Smarter Laboratory Setup with Kewaunee

Every laboratory carries a responsibility. It may support drug discovery, testing, academic learning, healthcare diagnosis or work. Whatever the purpose, the space must be safe, efficient, compliant and ready for use from day one.

Kewaunee International Group has over 100 years of experience. It supports every laboratory setup with proven expertise. The company provides laboratory furniture, safety systems, turnkey execution and managed services. Every solution is designed for efficient and reliable laboratory operation.

A Complete Approach to Laboratory Planning

A successful lab depends on how space, airflow, safety systems, work surfaces, utilities, storage and people work together. Kewaunee supports this through an integrated model which connects planning, design, engineering, manufacturing, installation, testing and support.

This reduces coordination gaps and helps project teams avoid delays that often come from working with multiple vendors.

Kewaunee’s approach can include

Site feasibility and planning support
Laboratory layout and design
2D and 3D BIM modelling
CFD based airflow design
MEP, HVAC, gas distribution, plumbing and electrical planning
Furniture, fume hoods, cabinets and accessories
Testing, validation, documentation and commissioning

This makes the complete laboratory setup more structured, practical and easier to manage.

Turnkey Laboratory Services for Better Control

Laboratory construction needs accuracy at every stage. A small design mismatch can affect safety, workflow, compliance or future expansion. Kewaunee's turnkey laboratory services manage the full lifecycle of a project, from concept to commissioning.

A turnkey lab set up with Kewaunee can cover:

Requirement analysis and space planning
Engineering design aligned with safety and quality guidelines
Manufacturing and installation of laboratory systems
HVAC, exhaust, gas, fire protection and lab utilities
Validation, certification, audits and handover support

The result is a functional laboratory designed for safe use, reliable performance and long term value.

Laboratory Furniture Built for Everyday Demands

Laboratory furniture must handle chemicals, repeated use, cleaning routines, furniture loads and changing workflows.Kewaunee designs and manufactures furniture for these daily realities.

Its modular and adaptable systems help teams reconfigure spaces as research needs change. Casework, worktops, storage units, sinks, fixtures, fittings and accessories are designed for durability, safety and easy maintenance.

Kewaunee offers steel, laminate, stainless steel, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, DSI laminate and other lab grade surfaces. These choices help every lab set up match the work it needs to support.

Safety Systems at the Centre of Every Lab

Safety is one of the most important parts of laboratory planning. Kewaunee develops systems to help protect users, samples, processes and the surrounding environment.

Key safety systems include:

Fume hoods to help contain harmful vapours, gases and dust before they reach users
Ductless fume hoods for applications where filtered containment is required without conventional ducting
Biological safety cabinets to support user, product and environmental protection through controlled airflow and HEPA filtration
Laminar flow cabinets to provide clean airflow for sensitive samples and controlled processes
Local exhaust ventilation systems to manage fumes and airborne contaminants near the source
Safety cabinets to store acids, corrosives, flammable liquids and combustible materials responsibly
Emergency showers and eyewash systems to support quick response during accidental exposure
Chemical storage solutions to keep hazardous materials organized, separated and safely accessible

For critical environments, a safe laboratory setup must begin with the right containment, ventilation, storage and emergency response systems.

Industry 4.0 Ready Laboratory Infrastructure

Modern laboratories need monitoring, real time data, energy efficiency and smarter control over infrastructure.

Kewaunee supports this with through Kewaunee Green Guardian, 3D BIM, CFD lab airflow design, VR collaboration hubs, AR based project visualization, digital twins and KI SMART project management.

These digital solutions help teams visualize the laboratory before construction, monitor safety conditions, track energy usage and improve decisions. For organizations planning a future ready lab set up, these tools increase infrastructure with performance.
