BMS, Life Safety & Security Systems for Hospitals
Hospitals cannot pause. We design, install and integrate the BMS, life-safety control, medical gas monitoring, nurse call and physical security that keep wards running, theatres ready and patients safe.
Facility, Life-Safety & Security Solutions for Hospitals
From a single clinic to a multi-block campus, we give estates, security and clinical engineering teams one live picture of the building so operations continue uninterrupted and every area stays secure.
Critical Environment BMS
Theatres, isolation rooms, pharmacies and wards held to pressure, temperature and air-change setpoints with alarms at the desk.
Life-Safety SCADA & PLC
Generators, UPS, isolated power, fire interfaces and smoke control supervised by redundant PLCs that fail safe.
Hospital Security & PSIM
Access control, lockdown, infant protection, visitor management and CCTV brought together in one operations centre.
Clinical Alarm & Nurse Call Integration
Nurse call, patient-monitor alarms, paging and porter tasks routed to the right handset with escalation and audit.
Everything We Deliver Inside a Hospital
A hospital runs more building systems than any other public facility, and each one touches patient care. We design, install and integrate the full set so estates, security and clinical teams work from one picture.
Critical Environment BMS
Keep every clinical space inside its ventilation limits around the clock. We deploy an open-protocol BMS with redundant servers that controls and records theatre pressure cascades, isolation room pressures, aseptic suites, ward comfort and plant, with alarms at the room and at the estates desk.
Medical Gas Monitoring & Alarms
Know the state of oxygen, medical air, vacuum and nitrous oxide from plant to bedside. We integrate medical gas plant and area alarm panels into the monitoring platform, with reserve levels, pipeline pressures and changeovers trended and escalated to the authorised person.
Life-Safety SCADA & PLC Control
Make sure power and smoke control respond in seconds without anyone at a screen. We engineer redundant PLC and SCADA logic for generator transfer, UPS and isolated power supervision, smoke extract, stair pressurisation and damper control, with hard-wired interlocks behind the software.
Power Resilience Monitoring
See the whole power chain from utility incomer to theatre socket. We monitor incomers, generators, fuel, UPS, battery strings and isolated power insulation monitors in Group 2 locations, with tests logged and faults raised before they affect clinical areas.
Nurse Call & Paging
Get the right person to the bedside quickly and prove the response time. We deliver nurse call with staff presence, escalation to buddies and charge nurses, paging groups for crash, fire and security teams, and reporting by ward and shift.
Patient Monitoring Alarm Integration
Reduce missed alarms without touching the bedside monitor. We integrate monitoring gateways with nurse call and handsets for secondary notification and escalation, leaving alarm limits and primary alarms with the clinical devices and recording every acknowledgement.
Bed Management & Occupancy Dashboards
Turn beds around faster and see pressure building before the emergency department does. We integrate bed management and patient administration data into live ward dashboards showing occupancy, cleaning, isolation capacity and discharge pipeline.
Infant Protection & Paediatric Security
Protect the most vulnerable patients with layered security that staff barely notice. We install infant tagging with exit-zone detection, lift and door lockdown, mother–baby matching and camera call-up, integrated with access control and the PSIM.
Access Control, Lockdown & Visitor Management
Control who goes where in a building that is open to the public. We deliver badge and PIN access for drug stores, pharmacies, mental health units and plant rooms, zoned lockdown for security and infant-abduction scenarios, and visitor and contractor badging with escort rules.
CCTV, Duress & Body-Worn Video
Give security teams evidence-grade video where incidents happen. We design ONVIF-based camera systems for entrances, emergency departments, pharmacies and car parks, with duress buttons, body-worn camera docking and retention sized to policy and the applicable regulatory requirements.
PSIM & Security Operations Centre
Run every incident from one screen with a procedure to follow. We integrate access control, CCTV, intrusion, intercom, infant protection and duress into a PSIM platform with SOP-driven workflows, and fit out the operations centre with video walls and consoles.
Fire Detection & Evacuation Interfaces
Give estates the fire picture beside the systems it affects. We interface fire alarm panels, aspirating detection and gas suppression with the BMS and PSIM, with phased evacuation, damper, lift recall and door release sequences agreed with the fire engineer.
Water Safety & Legionella Monitoring
Evidence your water safety plan from live data rather than clipboards. We monitor calorifier and return temperatures, cold water storage, dosing and sentinel outlets, and log flushing and sampling against the plan in the maintenance system.
Lifts, Pneumatic Tube & Porter Systems
Keep patients, specimens and equipment moving between floors. We monitor lift status, fire recall and entrapment alarms, pneumatic tube systems and porter task queues, with faults raised to the helpdesk automatically.
CAFM Integration & Planned Maintenance
Close the loop between an alarm and a completed job. We integrate the BMS, security and medical gas systems with the CAFM helpdesk so faults raise work orders, planned maintenance is scheduled against run hours, and accreditation evidence is exported on demand.
OT Network & Cybersecurity
Keep the networks that run the hospital separate from the ones that hold patient data. We build segmented, firewalled OT networks for building, security and clinical-engineering systems, monitored and patched in line with IEC 62443 principles.

Uninterrupted Operations and a Secure Facility
Hospitals are judged on continuity and safety. These are the ways we design, deliver and support systems so that operations continue through faults and the facility stays secure, with the evidence to prove it.
Resilience Built In
Dual utility supplies, standby generation, UPS and isolated power are monitored end to end, with transfer times, autonomy and test results recorded. Controllers, servers and networks are duplicated to the facility's resilience target so a single failure never blinds the estates team.
Maintenance Without Downtime
Run-and-standby plant, duty rotation and planned changeovers let filters, pumps and fans be serviced while clinical areas stay in range. Planned maintenance is scheduled against run hours and condition data through the CAFM, with permits and isolations tracked.
One Alarm Philosophy
BMS, medical gas, fire, nurse call and security alarms follow one agreed priority, routing and escalation scheme, so the right person sees the right alarm on the right device. Nuisance alarms are designed out so critical ones are acted on.
Layered Facility Security
Perimeter, building, department, room and asset each get a proportionate layer: barriers and ANPR, staffed entrances, badge and PIN zones, infant tagging, drug store locks and duress buttons, all reporting to the PSIM with camera call-up.
Compliance Evidence on Demand
Theatre and isolation room pressures, medical gas tests, generator runs, emergency lighting tests, water temperatures and access logs are recorded automatically and exported for Civil Defence, health authority and accreditation reviews.
24/7 Operations Support
Estates, security and clinical engineering teams are backed by round-the-clock support, remote diagnostics on a segmented OT network and spares holding for critical controllers, so faults are resolved before they interrupt care.
Systems we bring onto one platform
Building & plant
Clinical engineering

Security
Operations
Each system keeps doing its own job; the platform adds one alarm philosophy, one audit trail and one place to act. Life-safety and clinical alarms stay primary at their source, with the integration providing supervision, secondary notification and evidence.
Facility & Security Challenges in Hospitals
No Tolerance for Downtime in Clinical Areas
A pressure fault in a theatre or a lost gas alarm can stop surgery and put patients at risk. We design redundant monitoring and control with alarm escalation so faults are caught and acted on in seconds.
Security in a Building That Never Closes
Thousands of visitors, contractors and patients move through a hospital every day, past pharmacies, infants and vulnerable people. We deliver layered access control, infant protection, duress and PSIM so security is proportionate and provable.
Siloed Systems and Alarm Fatigue
BMS, medical gas, nurse call, fire and security often arrive from different contractors and alarm in different places. We integrate them over open protocols into one alarm philosophy so operators see one picture and nothing is missed.
