What flooring was installed at Meril Life Sciences, Ahmedabad?

Squarefoot supplied and installed approximately 160,000 sq. ft. of Tarkett iQ Optima homogeneous vinyl flooring at Meril Life Sciences in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in 2016. The flooring solution was selected to meet the requirements of a healthcare and life-sciences environment, where durability, easy cleaning, hygiene-focused performance and resistance to heavy foot traffic are important considerations.

The project specifications identify the flooring as clean-room tested according to ASTM F51/00, with a Class A certification. These characteristics were relevant to the facility's flooring requirements, including the need for a durable and easy-to-maintain surface across a large installation area.

THE PROJECT

Meril Life Sciences is a healthcare and medical technology company involved in developing medical devices and healthcare solutions. Its work spans areas including orthopaedics, vascular intervention, in-vitro diagnostics and endo-surgery.

For its Ahmedabad facility, Meril Life Sciences required a flooring solution suited to the operational demands of a professional healthcare and life-sciences environment. Flooring in such settings must support regular movement and day-to-day activities while remaining practical to clean and maintain.

Squarefoot delivered a large-scale homogeneous vinyl flooring installation designed around these functional requirements, providing a consistent flooring finish across approximately 160,000 sq. ft.

THE REQUIREMENT

Healthcare and life-sciences facilities require flooring that can withstand regular use while supporting effective cleaning and maintenance. High-traffic areas also demand a flooring surface that maintains its performance under continuous foot traffic.

For the Meril Life Sciences project, the key requirements included:

• Durability: A flooring solution designed for long-term use in a demanding professional environment.
• Easy cleaning: A surface that supports routine cleaning and maintenance.
• Hygiene-focused performance: Flooring appropriate to the facility's operational and cleanliness requirements.
• Heavy-traffic performance: A solution capable of handling regular movement across the installed area.
• Clean-room testing: Flooring specified with clean-room testing according to ASTM F51/00 and Class A certification.

The project required a solution that could address these needs while delivering a consistent finish across a substantial installation area.

THE SOLUTION

Squarefoot selected and installed iQ Optima homogeneous vinyl flooring from Tarkett for the Meril Life Sciences facility in Ahmedabad.

As a homogeneous vinyl flooring solution, iQ Optima was chosen for its suitability for demanding environments where durability, cleanability and maintenance are important considerations.

The flooring was specified to support the facility's requirements for heavy-traffic performance and hygiene-focused maintenance. Its consistent construction and range of available colours also provide options for creating a clean, coordinated and professional interior environment.

The project covered approximately 160,000 sq. ft. of flooring installed in 2016. According to the project specifications, the flooring was clean-room tested according to ASTM F51/00 and carried a Class A certification for controlled environments. The exact suitability of any flooring installation for a particular clean room should be confirmed against the applicable manufacturer documentation and project requirements.
