New Caen University Hospital: Equans France selected for plumbing, heating and ventilation work packages (phase 2)
Axima, an Equans France entity, is acting as principal in a consortium with Fouchard, a company based in Normandy, to provide heating, air conditioning, ventilation (HVAC) and plumbing services for part of the reconstruction of Caen University Hospital. The hospital environment imposes particular constraints and demands adapted expertise in these fields. Begun in September, work on the new university hospital will be completed by the end of 2026. AIA Life Designer is in charge of project management for the entire project.
Air and technical requirements
In view of the public health issues at stake, complex rooms (35 operating theatres
and 26 imaging rooms) are classified according to the risks associated with each pathology and the degree of
contagiousness. The hygiene of fluids is of paramount importance. Each block is
to prevent transmission. The highest standards apply to the
intensive care and medical imaging sectors.
This quality imperative is reflected right from the preliminary studies. Benefiting from the largest office
europe's largest HVAC design office, Axima is capable of studying and taking into account
all parameters, especially air pressure.
