PHILIPS INTEGRATED CIRCUITS PHILIPPINES – IC Test & Assembly Plant

The project is the first semiconductor plant of Philips to showcase their “Factory 2000” concept, which aims to provide maximum flexibility and efficiency in manufacturing. Products are assembled, tested, and packed on the same floor through highly-flexible lines, with minimum work-in-process and handling during manufacture.

This world-class high volume IC assembly and test facility is composed of five major buildings: a 2-storey Production Building, a 3storey Administration Building, a 3-storey Warehouse, an Energy Building and a Waste Water Treatment Plant. It is built on an 8.27 hectare site with a gross floor area of about 36,000 square meters.

A 12.2 x 12.2 metre columnation on a 73.2 x 122.0 metre footprint, gives the 2-storey, steel framed production building utmost flexibility for equipment layout. This, coupled with a well planned utilities layout, makes it specially adaptable to frequent equipment relayouts.

RNFA provided project management, covering total engineering and architectural design as well as construction management services. The project was substantially completed in seventeen months with beneficial occupancy for the 2nd floor of the Production Building by the 13th month.
