Medical Gas Systems in Saudi Arabia
Medical Gas Pipeline Systems — Design, Installation, Testing & Maintenance
Medical gases are critical healthcare infrastructure; their performance depends on accurate load calculation, source selection, disciplined pipeline installation and full testing before commissioning. We deliver the complete scope — design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance.

We design and execute against the engineering reference approved for each project. Technical values and requirements apply according to the applicable standard, the project specification and the approved design.
Engineering guides
What Are Medical Gas Systems?
An engineering overview of a hospital Medical Gas System: sources, pipeline, control and terminal units.
Medical Oxygen Systems
Medical Oxygen sources — cylinders and manifolds, liquid oxygen tanks and generators — and how the right source is selected for a facility.
Medical Air Systems
How Medical Air is generated, treated and distributed in a hospital, and how it differs from surgical tool air.
Medical Vacuum Systems
How a Medical Vacuum system works, and why traps, filters and the exhaust route are core parts of its design.
Medical Gas Pipeline Design
A design methodology for the Medical Gas Pipeline: from load calculation and zoning to routing and isolation points.
Medical Gas Manifolds
How a Medical Gas Manifold works with alternating banks, and where it serves as a primary or reserve source.
Area Valve Service Units (AVSU)
The role of an AVSU in isolating a clinical area from the medical gas pipeline, and criteria for its location and emergency use.
Medical Gas System Testing
The pre-handover test sequence for medical gas systems: pressure and leak, cross-connection, purity, flow and alarms.
Medical Gas System Maintenance
How to build a preventive maintenance programme for medical gas systems, and what to inspect and document at each visit.
Medical Copper Tube
Why degreased Medical Copper Tube is used in medical gas pipelines, and how it is stored, installed and jointed.
Frequently asked questions
Which systems are included in medical gas systems?
Typically medical oxygen, medical air, medical vacuum, nitrous oxide and anaesthetic gas scavenging (AGSS), together with pipeline networks, control and isolation, terminal units and alarm systems.
Do you modify or extend an existing network?
Yes. We start with a survey of the existing network and an assessment of its current capacity, then define the required modification or extension scope with the necessary testing before returning it to service.
Which technical references are used for design?
We design and execute against the reference approved for the project — such as NFPA 99, HTM 02-01, Civil Defence requirements and the applicable project specification — with technical values set by the approved design.
Do you offer periodic maintenance contracts?
Yes. A preventive maintenance programme can be structured according to facility size and departmental criticality, with technical condition reports.
Have a project or an existing facility that needs an engineering review?
Our engineering team can review your requirement and propose a solution suited to the application, the site and the applicable requirements.
