Medical Gas Pipeline System Project – Gambia, West Africa
International Healthcare Infrastructure Project
LOCATION: Farato, The Gambia, West Africa
PROJECT TYPE: Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS)
STATUS: Completed
MARKET: International Healthcare
HOSPITAL CAPACITY: 104 Bed (20 Bed ICU, 84 Bed OBS Wards)
KEY HIGHLIGHT: Complete Turnkey MGPS Solution – Medical Gas Pipeline Network, 104 Bed Head Panels, Compressor & Vacuum Systems, Manifold, Supply, Installation, Testing & Commissioning (SITC).
Concord Engineering Solutions successfully completed the execution and commissioning of a Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS) project in Gambia, West Africa, marking an important milestone in our international healthcare infrastructure journey.
The project involved the installation, testing, commissioning, and operational support of a medical gas pipeline network for a healthcare facility in Gambia.
Our engineering and site execution scope covered medical-grade copper piping, Bed Head Panel installation, medical gas equipment integration, testing, rectification, and final commissioning support.
Project Overview
Executing a Medical Gas Pipeline System in an international environment requires effective coordination between engineering teams, equipment suppliers, local manpower, logistics partners, and project stakeholders.
For this project, Concord Engineering Solutions provided on-site engineering and execution support for the medical gas distribution infrastructure while coordinating with local resources and international equipment suppliers.
A key project milestone was the installation and integration of 104 Bed Head Panels, connecting essential medical gas services directly to patient-care locations.
Scope of Work
Our project scope included:
- Medical Gas Pipeline System installation
- Medical-grade copper pipeline installation
- Installation of 104 Bed Head Panels
- Medical gas source equipment integration
- Medical gas network testing
- Pipeline pressure and leak testing
- Pipeline flushing
- Medical gas outlet verification
- Rectification and rework
- Equipment operational checks
- Testing and commissioning
- Site coordination
- Final operational support
Medical Gas Infrastructure
The medical gas distribution network was executed to support essential clinical and critical-care applications throughout the healthcare facility.
The infrastructure incorporated:
- Medical Oxygen: Medical oxygen distribution to designated patient-care locations.
- Medical Vacuum: Vacuum infrastructure supporting clinical and critical-care applications.
- Medical Air: Medical air distribution integrated with the associated source equipment.
- Additional Medical Gas Services: Other required medical gas services were incorporated according to project requirements.
The network utilized medical-grade copper piping and associated fittings, supported by appropriate installation, jointing, testing, flushing, and commissioning procedures.
104 Bed Head Panels – Installation & Integration
One of the major elements of the project was the installation and commissioning support of 104 Bed Head Panels (BHPs).
The Bed Head Panel network was integrated with the Medical Gas Pipeline System to provide required gas services at individual patient-care locations.
Our site execution team coordinated the complete process:
Installation → Connection → Testing → Rectification → Operational Verification
The objective was to ensure proper integration of the Bed Head Panels with the overall medical gas distribution network and readiness for operational use.
Engineering & Site Execution
Overseas healthcare infrastructure projects introduce additional challenges involving logistics, manpower, local resources, equipment coordination, and site-specific conditions.
Concord Engineering Solutions followed a structured execution approach:
Engineering → Material Coordination → Site Installation → Testing → Rectification → Commissioning → Handover
Our team worked closely with local manpower and project stakeholders throughout execution to address installation requirements, site conditions, rectification requirements, and system performance.
