Sectors

Regulated industries are our home ground.

C2Improve specialises in Food & Beverage and Pharmaceutical — sectors where HACCP, cGMP, and validation underpin every engineering decision. We also serve Industrial & Manufacturing and Water & Environment clients across the Netherlands.

Food & Beverage

Food and beverage manufacturers face a unique combination of pressures: strict food safety regulation, high-speed production environments, hygienic design requirements, and the need to expand or upgrade facilities without stopping the line. Getting the engineering wrong doesn't just affect schedules — it affects product safety.

C2Improve brings EPCM expertise built for the food industry — from HACCP-led process design and hygienic engineering through to FAT/SAT programmes that satisfy BRC, IFS, and FSSC 22000 audit requirements.

HACCP GMP Food BRC / IFS / FSSC 22000 EHEDG Hygienic Design CIP / SIP

Typical Challenges We Solve

HACCP validation for new process lines, hygienic design of equipment and facilities, live-environment expansion without production shutdown, FAT/SAT programmes aligned with food safety audits, allergen segregation engineering, and temperature-controlled environment design.

🌭

HACCP-Led Process Design

Engineering new process lines with HACCP built in from the start — identifying Critical Control Points during design, not after.

🧹

Hygienic & EHEDG Design

Equipment and facility engineering to EHEDG standards — hygienic pipework, surface finishes, drainage gradients, and cleanroom-ready layouts.

🔬

FAT & SAT (Food Sector)

Acceptance testing designed to satisfy BRC, IFS, and FSSC 22000 auditors — with full documentation and independent witnessing.

🔁

CIP / SIP Engineering

Clean-in-place and sterilise-in-place system design and validation — critical for dairy, beverage, and prepared food lines.

🏗️

Live-Line Expansions

Project and construction management for brownfield food facility expansions — minimising disruption to food-safe production environments.

✅

Audit-Ready Documentation

Engineering and testing documentation packages structured to meet food safety certification auditor requirements from day one.

Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences

Pharmaceutical projects don't just need good engineering — they need engineering that can be validated. Every piece of equipment, every system, every software interface must be qualified to demonstrate it does what it's supposed to do, consistently, with a documented evidence trail that satisfies regulators.

C2Improve understands the V-model validation lifecycle — from User Requirements Specification through IQ, OQ, and PQ. We structure every project so engineering deliverables are the qualification evidence, not a separate exercise bolted on at the end.

cGMP V-Model IQ / OQ / PQ GAMP 5 EU GMP Annex 11 FDA 21 CFR Part 11

The V-Model — How We Structure Pharma Projects

C2Improve structures engineering deliverables (URS, FDS, DS) so they serve directly as qualification protocols — eliminating duplication and saving weeks at IQ/OQ/PQ.

Typical Challenges We Solve

cGMP facility design and build, equipment and system qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), GAMP 5 computer system validation, cleanroom engineering (ISO 14644), CSV for process control systems, regulatory inspection readiness, and change control during live operations.

💊

cGMP Facility Engineering

Design and construction management of cGMP-compliant manufacturing facilities — from API production to packaging and fill-finish.

✅

IQ / OQ / PQ Qualification

Full qualification lifecycle management: protocols written, executed, and documented to regulatory standards.

🔬

FAT & SAT (Pharma)

Pharma-grade FAT/SAT programmes with cGMP-compliant test protocols, independent witnessing, and full regulatory documentation.

💻

GAMP 5 & CSV

Computer System Validation to GAMP 5 — covering SCADA, DCS, MES, and lab systems under EU GMP Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

🏭

Cleanroom Engineering

ISO 14644-compliant cleanroom design, HVAC qualification, and air classification validation for sterile and aseptic manufacturing.

📄

Validation Master Plan

Site Validation Master Plans (VMP) and project validation strategies aligned with ICH Q10 and EU GMP Chapter 4.

Industrial manufacturing facility Netherlands

Industrial & Manufacturing

The Dutch manufacturing sector is under constant pressure to modernise, decarbonise, and optimise. Capital projects, energy transition programmes, and facility expansions all demand expert engineering and project management delivered in live operational environments.

C2Improve has deep experience delivering complex industrial projects — from process plant upgrades to full facility builds — with minimal disruption to ongoing production.

Typical Challenges We Solve

Ageing infrastructure, sustainability and energy transition, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance (BRZO, Seveso), capacity expansions under budget pressure, and live-environment project delivery.

🔩

Process Plant Projects

Full EPCM delivery for new and upgraded industrial process facilities.

⚡

Energy Transition

Engineering and delivery of decarbonisation and renewable energy projects.

🏗️

Facility Expansions

Brownfield and greenfield expansions with minimal production impact.

🔬

FAT & SAT for Industry

Acceptance testing and commissioning for industrial plant and machinery.

💧

Water & Environment

The Netherlands and water have always been inseparable. Right now, the combination of climate change, PFAS contamination, and ageing infrastructure means a lot of that water infrastructure needs replacing, upgrading, or rethinking — and doing so under regulatory and budget pressure that doesn't leave much room for error.

C2Improve brings technical knowledge of Dutch water systems with project management discipline to deliver complex, multi-stakeholder programmes for waterschappen, municipalities, and private operators.

Typical Challenges We Solve

Climate adaptation, PFAS remediation, ageing WWTP infrastructure, flood risk management (dike reinforcement), drinking water quality, and multi-contract programme coordination.

🛀

Water Treatment Plants

Engineering and construction management for drinking and wastewater facilities.

🌿

Environmental Remediation

Owner's engineer and PM for soil, groundwater, and PFAS remediation.

🌊

Flood Defence

Engineering for dike reinforcement, water barriers, and climate-adaptive infrastructure.

📊

Programme Management

Multi-contract coordination for waterschappen and municipalities.
