When you need a medical HVAC specialist

  1. 1

    Hospital or clinic under construction

    The right design starts before any duct is installed, because ventilation and filtration needs differ from the surgical suite to the waiting area. An early survey saves costly alterations after the building is finished.

  2. 2

    Departments reporting warm air or odours

    In an existing medical building, weak cooling in one department or odours crossing into an adjacent area signals an imbalance in the air distribution or extraction system. Finding the cause needs measurement, not guesswork.

  3. 3

    Maintenance contract for a running facility

    A hospital does not close for equipment servicing. We schedule preventive maintenance visits department by department, coordinated with facility management, and carry out repairs with the smallest possible effect on daily operations.

Who it's for

  • Building a new hospital or medical centre

    We survey the building early and design systems to each department's requirements before installation begins.

    Ask on WhatsApp
  • Your clinic has repeated cooling faults

    We inspect the existing systems, find the root cause of recurring faults, and repair them without stopping the clinic.

How we work

How we work

  1. 1

    Survey and requirements

    We visit the facility, map the heat loads and air requirements for each department, and agree the duct routes before any design work begins.

  2. 2

    Design and supply

    We design the duct network and fabricate it in our own workshop to SMACNA specifications, and supply units from our authorised brands: Carrier, YORK, General, Midea, Gree and Smart Gold.

  3. 3

    Phased coordinated installation

    In operating buildings we work with management to phase the installation so adjacent departments stay open, and control dust and noise away from patient areas.

  4. 4

    Commissioning and follow-up

    We commission the systems, measure airflow in each department, and adjust the dampers until the design requirements are met, then hand over the facility with a maintenance plan.

What sets this district apart

Al Ajawid is a modern south Jeddah district with a large medical centre and specialist clinics in contemporary buildings. Medical sections such as theatres, care units and diagnostic areas need a reliable central system with low humidity and stable temperature. Regular maintenance and rapid checks must happen without closing departments or disrupting patients, requiring tight coordination with the medical centre's management.

Al Ajawid is in south Jeddah, a modern developing district focused on advanced medical services.

The medical centre and clinics in Al Ajawid mostly run an advanced central system with coils in ceilings and walls, with multiple outdoor units on the wide roof.

FAQ

Questions about Hospital HVAC

How do ventilation needs differ across hospital departments?

Ventilation needs vary from one department to the next based on the activity in each area and the requirements set by the facility's designer and the site survey. Operating theatres need highly filtered, directionally controlled air, while patient rooms, corridors and administrative areas each carry different requirements. We build the duct network and select units from the facility's drawings and its specific requirements, not from general assumptions.

Can systems be maintained without stopping sensitive departments?

Yes, but it requires careful planning before the maintenance date. We agree with facility management on a schedule that names the section and the right time window, then isolate the target section using dampers and blanking plates without affecting adjacent departments. Corrective tasks such as replacing a capacitor or repairing a flare joint are carried out within the agreed time window.

What governs duct network design in a medical building?

Design is governed by the approved facility drawings and each department's requirements as defined by the site survey and the specialist designer. We fabricate ducts in our own workshop from G90 galvanised sheet to project dimensions, and use Kimmco and Armaflex insulation with Foster sealants to control leakage. Distribution and pressure in each section follow the specifications drawn for that department individually.

Distribution and pressure in each section follow the specifications drawn for that department individually.

Do you work with small clinics or only hospitals?

We work with medical facilities of all sizes, from a clinic in a residential district to a multi-storey medical complex. The size of the facility does not change the principle: the site survey is the starting point, and from it we determine unit types, duct dimensions and fresh-air requirements for each zone. Preventive and corrective maintenance contracts are available for clinics and hospitals alike.

How often must the medical centre's central system be serviced?

We recommend a full check every three months and deep cleaning of coils and drains. In summer, maintenance may be more frequent.

How do you clean the coils without stopping the system during working hours?

We service small sections at a time in coordination with management, using rapid cleaning tools that do not require full system shutdown.

Severe summer heat; does this stress the coils and units?

Yes, extreme heat increases system load. We recommend cleaning outdoor coils every four weeks in summer and using reflective heat shields.

Where do you position multiple outdoor units on the wide roof?

We space them evenly to ensure full airflow around each unit, choosing locations away from the main entrance and windows to avoid noise and vibration.
