Medical
Medical-Grade Facility
A specialised medical-grade facility in Lane Cove, NSW, has partnered with Focus Industrial for the installation of a high-quality Argon gas reticulation system and a compressed air piping network. Designed to meet strict industry specifications, the installation ensures a reliable and efficient supply of critical gases throughout the facility.
The project involved the installation of a 316 Stainless Steel Surepress Argon Gas reticulation system, The system was designed to commence outside the main building at the Argon pressure pack location, running a 42mm OD Stainless Steel 316 Surepress piping ring main. The pipeline was fitted with a 1-1/4” lockable stainless steel isolation valve before being routed up the external wall to a height of 3.8 metres, penetrating through to the internal structure.
The Argon gas pipework was installed in parallel with the compressed air system and fixed to the same bracketry system supporting the compressed air and electrical cables. Six 22mm OD stainless steel droppers were installed as per site specifications, each terminating with a ½” lockable isolation valve and a Tesuco Argon Gas Flow Meter for precise gas control. The system was completed with full pressure testing, commissioning, and labelled decals to ensure compliance with site safety and operational protocols.
In addition to the Argon system, Focus Industrial also supplied and installed an Aluminium Unipipe compressed air reticulation system, aligning with the same engineering drawings. The system was designed to integrate two Kaeser compressors, dryers, filters, and receivers in line with the facility’s schematic layout. A 50mm DIA Unipipe aluminium ring main was installed to distribute compressed air throughout the site.
A total of 30 droppers, constructed from 20mm OD aluminium piping, were strategically placed, each fitted with a ½” lockable isolation valve and Nitto quick-connect fitting for secure and flexible operation. The piping was fixed to the Unistrut support system above the clean rooms and high-level areas, ensuring seamless integration with the facility’s electrical cable tray. To maintain the integrity of the clean rooms, all penetrations were silicon-sealed for airtight containment.
The installation process, which included positioning compressors, dryers, and the air receiver onsite, was completed over 5 to 7 days by a dedicated install crew. The system underwent full pressure testing and commissioning, ensuring it met the stringent operational requirements of the medical-grade facility.
With this installation, Focus Industrial has delivered a high-performance gas and air distribution network tailored to the precision needs of the medical industry, reinforcing reliability, efficiency, and compliance with critical standards.
