In any sector, Mechanical and Electrical (M+E) Services play important roles in the day-to-day operation of a facility or working space. Arguably none are as crucial as those in the Healthcare sector, where they can be pivotal in saving lives. 

In making sure facilities operate efficiently, and safely, and meet the needs of both patients and staff, M+E services encompass a wide range of systems where strict adherence to health sector regulations and standards is paramount. From powering life-saving equipment to maintaining optimal temperature and air quality, M+E services are the unsung heroes of any healthcare facility.

Here are just some of the essential jobs that these services provide:

The design and installation of Healthcare M+E services is perhaps more complicated than in most other sectors, with the drive to reduce costs and improve sustainability while ensuring exact regulatory standards providing a challenging environment for M+E solution design. With lives at stake, there has to be a huge element of trust in this infrastructure and those who design and install it. 

With multiple contracts in the Healthcare sector, Watsons has developed a reputation for designing and installing state-of-the-art M+E solutions. Our most recent contract with a Medical Centre in Shipley, West Yorkshire, married healthcare needs with sustainability, The work included:

• Photovoltaic panels providing a significant portion of annual power requirements

Our careful approach, M+E expertise and attention to detail have given us a reputation in the sector we can be proud of. Along with the satisfaction that our solutions are quietly, and invisibly, performing heroics every day.
