Installation Teams

BeaconMedaes have been providing high quality Installation Services for many years. We employ the most experienced medical gas pipeline installers in the UK. Our installation service covers acute hospitals, veterinary surgeries, dental practices, as well as teaching and private hospitals.

BeaconMedaes have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to best practise, both here in the UK and within our  export markets.

Project Management

BeaconMedaes is capable of providing expertise at all levels – from Medical gas Competent Person (CP) to Authorised Person (AP). Our knowledge of Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS) is derived from over 40 years of experience in the field.

Professional Design Services

Before a project begins our Sales Support team offers expert medical gas design services, to assist your design professionals with the specialised design work of the medical gas pipeline system.

Site Surveys

Our Installation work starts before the engineers come to the site.  When we receive a request to quote Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS) work, we generally visit the site to ascertain any existing drawings are accurate as well as compliant to current standards (HTM02-01). The on site surveys are essential where new pipe work is required, and our engineers will take measurements to include existing and proposed usage so that the correct pipe sizes are used in the job.

Isometric drawings and plan drawings are used to extrapolate all possible components of the installation. In addition, we take into account any proposed future expansion, in order to save client costs going forward.

BIM Drawings

Our experienced sales support team will provide room layout drawings in 3D revit format, to ensure equipment can be located and installed easily. Ensuring post installation all serviceable items are easy to access.

Pipeline designs are also provided in 3D with a suite of drawings including full isometric, schematic diagrams, flow calculation drawings, as fitted and as installed drawings.

Field Service

BeaconMedæs has the largest field Service and Maintenance force in the industry and has the ability to reach any mainland facility with the best response times. Our service specialists possess a vast knowledge of the industry and are able to work on all other manufacturer’s equipment. BeaconMedæs service specialists have the knowledge, skills and parts to complete the work on the spot and all technicians are certified Competant Persons (MGPS). You can rest assured that planned and corrective maintenance can be handled rapidly to maximise equipment uptime. In addition, our factory maintains a large inventory of parts available for quick despatch if required.

Planned Preventative Maintenance

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is inspection work that is performed on a piece of equipment on a scheduled basis. The schedule is based on best practices and manufacturers’ recommendations designed to keep your equipment operating smoothly.

Corrective Maintenance

Corrective Maintenance is repair work that is performed on a piece of equipment to restore it to proper operating condition. This is typically unscheduled work, requested by the customer or person performing planned maintenance. BeaconMedæs not only offers competitive labour rates and OEM parts pricing, but stands behind both for 90 days.

MyMedGas

MyMedGas allows you to manage your entire Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS). We connect all the details on compliance, assets tracing, equipment history, competence development and 24/7 support. Our easy to use digital platform includes features such as inventory asset management, monitoring of equipment, maintenance history, reports, compliance status and much more. Together with our nationwide service organisation you get full control of your MGPS, ultimately supporting your patients.

BeaconMedaes has been a trusted partner to healthcare facilities around the world. We understand the increased demand on your MGPS like no other. Our MedGasScan audit enables you to identify oxygen and other medical gas leaks on your pipeline and equipment, helping you to calculate the total losses on each gas pipeline and determine the amount of gas lost per annum. This can be converted back to a cost-saving for your facility, as well as help you eliminate the potential fire risk associated with oxygen leaks and reduce the large negative carbon impact of gases such as nitrous oxide and nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture (50% v/v). 

How does it work?

• The camera detects ultrasonic signals produced by loss of gases such as oxygen, nitrous oxide, nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture, or medical air, which are not audible to the human ear.
• It forms an accurate acoustic image which is transposed in real-time on top of a digital camera picture, which allows the user to accurately see from which directions sound is arriving.
• Once the gas system has been tested and tagged, a comprehensive report is produced highlighting any leaks on the system.
• In the report, a visual record of the leak is produced - the louder the leak, the darker the image, with colours ranging from yellow to red.
• The report is uploaded onto our cloud-based MGPS asset, compliance and risk management system, MyMedGas.

BeaconMedæs and Atlas Copco have combined their expertise and knowledge to create the Medical Vacuum Plant. Main improvements are increased performance, usability and an advanced control system which provides remote live monitoring. Additionally, user friendliness is enhanced with the easy to operate central plant controller with a 5.7” colour display. By reducing the footprint and providing easy access to serviceable parts the new mVAC plant provides better usability and easy maintenance.

For increased flexibility, and areas where access can be more difficult we also have a floor mounted system.

The Anesthetic Gas Scavenging System removes anesthetic gas mixtures in areas fitted with nitrous oxide terminal units like operating rooms. By virtue of its design, the active disposal system can produce high capture levels simply by connecting the terminal unit to the anesthetic breathing circuit via a receiver unit. This removal at the source eliminates the possible long term health hazards for the exposed medical staff.

The Lifeline® MCS Manifold is a compact and fully automatic manifold control system for medical gases. Regarded as a leading manifold control panel in its class, the Lifeline® MCS Manifold combines ease of use, installation and maintenance with a very high flow capacity. We use two stage regulators in our manifolds as standard. This results in a leading high flow capacity of 1,750 lpm at 4 bar stable pressure over the entire flow range. We always use halogen free high pressure regulators which reduce the risks of self-ignition and emission of toxic gases.

The manifold has a graphical display with a precise pressure indication which give you visibility on your medical gas consumption. Additional visuals of remaining cylinders gas volume and average flow consumption provide full control over your medical gas installation.

The digital control panel and two stage regulators allow for low changeover pressure that can save you thousands liters of valued gas annually. This saves you money.

The BeaconMedæs Emergency Reserve Manifold (ERM) is designed for compliance with HTM 02-01 guidelines. The ERM is used to support the main manifold and is connected downstream of the manifold control panel. The Lifeline ERM is capable of high flows capable of supporting large medical systems.

For lower flow rate gases or applications, we have our Lifeline ECO ERM.

ERM's come as 2x1 standard, with an optional 1x1 cylinder extension kit. ERM's can then be extended to any size desired, although note HTM02-01 states a max 2x2 should be used.
