HEALTHCARE ESTATES
Innovation for challenging environments
‘Manufacturer of innovative products for challenging environments’, Pineapple, will show items from its new lighting and washroom ranges. Pineapple’s latest lighting range, Fynn, is a
reduced-ligature wall-mounted fixture. The touch- operated dimming control allows users to adjust the brightness to their preference, giving patients valuable control over their environment. Fynn is available in six versatile colours and two bulb colours, providing extensive personalisation, has been impact tested to IK10, and when sealed with anti-pick silicone, ‘becomes highly water- resistant and dust-proof’, with a IP66 rating. Pineapple’s Arc washbasin range (see
photo) is a reduced-ligature sanitaryware collection with fully integrated fittings. Produced in collaboration with ONVO, the Arc range is manufactured from a non-porous, stain-resistant solid surface material, and reportedly offers

excellent hygiene properties. The seamless basin design also eliminates the dirt-traps commonly found in traditional fixtures. In ‘maintenance mode’, Arc basins can be moved away from the wall, utilising a patented copper swivel system to help maintain a hygienic environment. Once maintenance is complete, the product is secured to the wall with ‘groundbreaking’ non-visible fixings, minimising tampering opportunities.
From plant room to patient
Precision UK says it will present its latest range of ‘world-leading’ medical gas pipeline equipment, ‘built to deliver safe and reliable medical gas – from plant room to patient’. The company said: “Visitors can join us on Stand H10 for a hands-on experience with our high-performance CPX solutions (see photo), including our Medical Gas Manifold, AVSU modules, Bedhead Units, and more. Our experienced MGPS experts and support team will be available to answer questions and conduct live product demos – highlighting the key features that are supporting safer operations, full compliance, and greater efficiency in healthcare facilities across the globe.”
Head of UK/EU Sales, Claire Whiteford, added: “We’re delighted to be exhibiting

Over the past 12 months, Precision UK has continued to enhance healthcare infrastructure throughout the UK and globally, ensuring the safe provision of life-saving medical gas pipeline equipment, from plant room to patient. Our HTM 02-01-compliant solutions are precision-engineered to meet the highest clinical standards, and designed to suit multiple hospital environments, covering the whole MGPS network. We look forward to welcoming visitors to explore how Precision UK can meet your requirements.”
C3 Group says it helps healthcare estates teams and other large organisations ‘turn sustainability goals into practical, cost-effective action’. It said: “We support clients in reducing carbon emissions, improving efficiency, and accessing the funding needed to drive real change. Working closely with NHS Trusts and estate owners, we assess buildings, identify opportunities, and design tailored carbon reduction strategies to meet specific needs. Our work follows the RIBA Stage Design Process to ensure that each phase is clear, compliant, and achievable. “Since 2024, we’ve helped clients unlock
over £22 m in green grant funding by creating targeted feasibility studies and business cases designed to meet funder requirements. This success enables our clients to undertake meaningful, low-carbon projects that might otherwise remain out of reach. Our in- house Low-Carbon Consultants and M&E engineering experts offers a comprehensive, end-to-end service. Clients benefit from having a dedicated team manage assessments, engineering, design, and funding applications, all while meeting PAS 2038 standards. “C3 Group was established to simplify the
delivery of complex decarbonisation projects. Whether you need support with a single building, or a complete estate-wide strategy, we are here to help you take confident steps toward a Net Zero future.”
Refurbishing AHUs can mean less disruption
Compliant air-handling is essential to patient safety, but full AHU replacement isn’t always the most practical solution – and in live healthcare settings, cost,
complexity, and system downtime, can present major challenges. So says VES, which argues that ‘refurbishment
offers a smarter, more flexible, approach’, and works with hospitals across the UK to refurbish any brand of AHU, not just its own. VES explained: “Each project is tailored to site-specific constraints such as unit footprint, ductwork, drainage, and access. From component upgrades to energy-efficient control integration, VES helps healthcare estates bring ageing systems back in line with HTM 03-01 Part A.”
It continued: “The 2021 addendum to HTM 03-01 introduced stricter standards on

leakage, filtration (ISO 16890), and material specification, making non-compliance an increasing risk. VES engineers assess what’s achievable within the existing set-up, and deliver clear proposals that enhance performance, support compliance, and prioritise patient safety. “For Estates teams dealing with frequent
breakdowns, high energy use, or legacy systems falling short of current guidance, refurbishment can offer a cost-effective alternative to replacement, reducing disruption and extending system life. To find out how refurbishment could work for your estate, visit VES on Stands A33 and A34.”
