Mecalab designed and assembled two gas humidification panels for the high-tech industry. From engineering to SEI4-VCI seaworthy packaging, every stage (welding, quality controls and PED certification) reflects the technical standards that define Mecalab’s expertise.
Mecalab : a leading player in high-precision piping
Specialised in pure water and air technologies, Mecalab works on industrial projects with a high level of technical requirements. With an integrated approach ranging from design to documented delivery, the Belgian company has established itself as a trusted partner for the high-tech, pharmaceutical and process industries.
This new project is a concrete illustration of that expertise : the design, assembly and full qualification of two gas humidification panels intended for an application in the high-tech sector.
Mecalab’s scope of work : from engineering to delivery
Mecalab took charge of the entire project, covering the following phases :
This turnkey approach allows the customer to focus on their core business while entrusting Mecalab with the technical and documentary responsibility for the entire subsystem.
Quality control : rigour and traceability at every stage
For highly demanding applications such as gas humidification in high-tech environments, quality is not assumed, it must be proven. Mecalab implemented a comprehensive inspection programme, covering :
- 🔹 Radiographic testing : non-destructive testing of welds
- 🔹 Dye penetrant testing : detection of surface defects
- 🔹 Pressure and leak tests : validation of performance under operating conditions
- 🔹 Dimensional and visual inspections : geometric compliance and finish
These inspections ensure the long-term reliability of the panels and their compliance with applicable standards, including the PED directive (Pressure Equipment Directive).

A complete as-built technical dossier
Upon delivery, each panel is accompanied by a comprehensive as-built technical dossier, consisting of the following elements :
- 🔹 Complete welding dossier
- 🔹 Updated as-built drawings
- 🔹 Material and calibration certificates
- 🔹 Test reports
- 🔹 User manual and operating documentation
- 🔹 PED certificate and good practice certificate
This level of documentation is essential for projects subject to regulatory audits, process qualifications or strict traceability requirements, which are typical of the high-tech and pharmaceutical industries.
SEI4-VCI seaworthy packaging: optimal protection during transport
The care given to the project does not stop at qualification : the panels were packed in SEI4-VCI class seaworthy packaging, providing optimal protection against corrosion, humidity and mechanical shocks during international transport.
This level of packaging, usually reserved for high-value equipment, reflects Mecalab’s attention to customer satisfaction right through to final delivery on site.
