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.

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.

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

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

EV facilities leave no room
for missing interfaces
or undocumented assumptions

01 Power density

High-current systems sized and routed from transformer to line

02 Dry environments

Humidity-controlled spaces engineered to process tolerance

03 Lithium safety

Fire suppression designed for lithium-ion risk — not standard warehouse

04 ATEX zoning

Hazardous area design documented from first principles, not retrofitted

05 Energy visibility

Metering & monitoring designed into infrastructure from concept stage

06 ISO 19650

Digital handover that supports commissioning and long-term operations
