Safeguard care continuity through resilient infrastructure, empowered teams, and future-ready solutions
Hospitals are both healing spaces and critical operational facilities where life and technology converge every day. Every ventilator, medical gas line, and climate control system touches patient care, so when technology fails or cyber defences are breached, services stop and treatment suffers.
At Equans, we do not just maintain hospital buildings. We safeguard interoperable, secure, and energy efficient care environment, working alongside your teams to keep care flowing today and build reliable, sustainable performance for tomorrow.

Our 5 pillars of integrated services across the healthcare lifecycle
Design and engineering: Human-centred, technically uncompromising. We translate clinical needs into resilient multi-technical design across HVAC, medical gases, electrical and critical power, life-safety, and secure digital infrastructure. Designs support infection control and maintainability, and prepare data-ready operations.
Installation and commissioning: Precision delivery to healthcare specifications. Phased commissioning, soft-landing, on-site training, and complete documentation ensure a smooth handover with minimal disruption to care.
Facility management and maintenance: Proximity drives performance. On-site teams use CMMS, predictive and condition-based maintenance, and clear KPIs focused on uptime, statutory compliance, air and water quality, energy performance, and lifecycle planning.
Digital and smart hospitals: Secure interoperability by design. We unify BIM, BMS and EMS, RTLS, IoT, and OT and IT into one view so executives see what matters, and clinical and estates teams act in real time. Cybersecurity is designed in and verified in operation.
Decarbonisation and energy resilience: Sustainability that strengthens security. We deploy ATES, heat pumps, solar generation, battery storage, EV charging, and intelligent microgrids to cut emissions, manage peaks, and protect operating budgets on the path to net zero.
Industry applications:
Technical expertise tailored to critical environments
Medical gases: high-availability networks for theatres and ICUs.
Cleanrooms and laboratories: precise environmental control for diagnostics and research.
Infection control: HVAC strategies that protect air and water quality.
Emergency power and life-safety: redundant supplies for continuity of care.
Cybersecurity for IT and OT: layered defences with continuous monitoring.
Data and predictive analytics: RTLS, data capture, and AI insights to act before issues impact care.
