Five zones. Five engineering briefs. Designed as one integrated building for Electric
Vehicle & Advanced manufacturing
EV manufacturing facilities sit at the intersection of heavy industrial power, pharmaceutical-grade environments, and chemical hazard management — all in a single building. Dry rooms demand dew points to −60°C. Formation zones carry power densities no other building type approaches. Lithium-ion fire suppression cannot be specified from a standard catalogue. TEBIN provides fully integrated engineering and BIM coordination for battery gigafactories, EV assembly plants, press shops, and paint facilities.
01 — What we design and coordinate
Where power
meets process
meets
precision
EV manufacturing facilities bring together the electrical demands of heavy industry, the environmental precision of pharmaceutical cleanrooms, and the fire safety requirements of a hazardous materials facility. No single engineering discipline can address this complexity alone.
TEBIN coordinates the full engineering scope — from MV transformer stations and dry room HVAC through to lithium-ion fire suppression, ATEX zoning, and BIM-based digital handover. We work on battery gigafactories, EV assembly plants, press shops, paint shops, and advanced materials facilities.

03 — EV facility zones & engineering requirements
Five zones. Five engineering disciplines. One building.
A battery gigafactory is not one facility — it is five distinct engineering environments under a single roof. Each production zone has specific power densities, environmental controls, fire safety strategies, and MEP interfaces that must be resolved before structural design is fixed.
Cell Manufacturing (Dry Room)
- HVAC design
- Low-dew dehumidification system with redundant supply
- MEP interfaces
- All penetrations designed to maintain envelope integrity
- Fire strategy
- Lithium-ion specific suppression — not standard catalogue
- Design challenge
- Every MEP penetration is a humidity risk — coordinated with process team
Module & Pack Assembly
- Environment
- Cleanroom-class MEP with ESD-controlled zones throughout
- Power design
- Assembly line feeds, AGV charging, workstation distribution
- AGV interfaces
- Guidepath and charging station infrastructure coordinated in BIM
- Design challenge
- ESD control from structural slab to ceiling — materials, finishes, earthing
Formation & Aging
- Power supply
- Resilient supply with UPS — formation cyclers cannot lose power mid-cycle
- HVAC precision
- Tight temperature control maintained throughout formation cycles
- Monitoring
- SCADA integration and energy metering designed from concept
- Design challenge
- Highest power zone in the building — infrastructure sizing drives concept layout
End of Line Testing
- Power
- High-current discharge circuit design and dedicated cable routes
- Fire safety
- Thermal runaway detection and dedicated suppression zone design
- ESD design
- Controlled ESD environment coordinated with structural and MEP
- Design challenge
- Data logging and SCADA infrastructure designed before layout is fixed
Paint & Body Shop
- ATEX design
- Zone classification for spray booths and flash-off areas
- Ventilation
- VOC exhaust and solvent recovery system engineering
- MEP scope
- Spray booth supply and extract HVAC to process specification
- Design challenge
- Fire strategy spans ATEX zones and standard occupancy in one building
04 — BIM & digital delivery
Coordinating
the most complex
buildings on earth
EV facilities generate more engineering interfaces than almost any other building type. BIM coordination is not optional — it is the only method that can manage this level of complexity without creating construction conflicts.
High-Power Route Coordination
MV cable routes, transformer positions, busway systems, and LV distribution boards are coordinated in 3D against structure, process equipment, and access routes — before any fabrication drawings are issued.
Process Environment Interfaces
We model the interfaces between controlled environments (dry rooms, cleanrooms, temperature zones) and MEP supply systems — documenting air flows, pressurisation, and utility penetrations.
Hazardous Area Modelling
ATEX zone layouts and gas detection system positions are documented in BIM, enabling cross-discipline coordination with structure, drainage, HVAC, and fire suppression systems.
Energy Infrastructure Documentation
Energy metering hierarchy, EPMS integration, and utility interface schedules are documented as part of the BIM deliverable — supporting commissioning, operational handover, and sustainability reporting.
05 — Why project teams choose us
EV facilities leave no room
for missing interfaces
or undocumented assumptions
High-current systems sized and routed from transformer to line
Humidity-controlled spaces engineered to process tolerance
Fire suppression designed for lithium-ion risk — not standard warehouse
Hazardous area design documented from first principles, not retrofitted
Metering & monitoring designed into infrastructure from concept stage
Digital handover that supports commissioning and long-term operations
