Trusted Service Providers
Terra's network includes architectural designers and specialty application consultants to ensure alignment of aesthetic appeal, facility integration, and floor planning with respect to multi-functional spaces.
Hybrid Stick-Built / Modular Rooms
Terra's modular cleanroom panels arrive from the factory with prespecified cutouts for pass-throughs, doors, and windows, which eliminates most on-site modifications that would otherwise require sawing, cutting, or drilling. Terra offers innumerable options for component integration including filter fan units, lights, power distribution modules, control panels, doors, windows, and pass-through chambers stocked and ready for immediate shipment
Built to Your Standards
Terra offers a wide range of value-add services, including white glove delivery, cleanroom installation, structural seismic analysis, expedited production, qualification documentation, and extended warranties. Order-specific certificates of compliance, listing each product’s adherence to ISO, UL, OSHA, and seismic standards, are supplied with every qualifying sale.
