With 20 years’ experience delivering complex healthcare projects, K2CM leads the way using Construction Management (CM) philosophies that help clients deliver faster, smarter, and more flexible, estate solutions.

Contour works with Estates teams,
contractors, and designers, to deliver project- specific solutions, whether replacing legacy guards, supporting capital upgrades, or meeting complex safety specifications. This year it has expanded its window protection range, with a remodelled internal unit now available with integrated ventilation and blinds, both operated via robust anti-ligature dials. A new external window protector provides a safe, retrofittable option for secure outdoor applications. Contour’s growing portfolio of anti-ligature accessories includes padded radiator covers, thermostat protectors, and vent grilles. ‘From design to installation’, Contour says it is ‘committed to safety, quality, and customer care, enhancing environments where dignity and protection are paramount’.
HTM-compliant medical central gas systems
On Stand C32 GCE Medical will present its full range of HTM-compliant medical central gas systems, ‘designed to meet the demanding needs of medical facilities across the UK and beyond’. Its exhibition stand will feature its manifolds, AVSUs, terminal units, bedhead units, and more from its brands, including Therapy Equipment, GCE Healthcare, Ohio Medical, and the newly acquired Delta P and Aktiv. It says that all these systems ‘have
a proven record of reliability in critical care settings worldwide’. GCE Medical’s capabilities have grown significantly following the recent acquisitions of Delta P Gas Equipment, based in Italy, and Aktiv Technologies, based in India, by its parent company, ESAB Corporation. It said: “These integrations expand our offerings in medical gas systems, suction solutions, and oxygen therapy. They also strengthen our position in both the European and Asia-Pacific markets.” With global reach and certifications
including HTM, MDR, CE, ISO, and FDA, GCE Medical says it ‘delivers solutions that are trusted worldwide, and certified everywhere’.
