Healthcare Facilities

A failed HVAC system in an office building is uncomfortable. In a healthcare facility, it’s a patient safety issue. We install sheet metal systems and HVAC in hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities across the Valley. Precision installs, tight tolerances, and the airflow control these environments demand.

The Work Is Different Here

Healthcare HVAC isn’t standard commercial work. Every zone in a facility has its own requirements for air changes per hour, filtration, and pressurization. We know the difference. We build to those specs, and we document it.

Airflow in a clinical environment is code-driven and patient-safety-driven. That means ductwork with tight seams, custom transitions that maintain pressurization, and enclosures built to hold up in clinical use. Our in-house fab shop builds these pieces to tight tolerances. When a ceiling void doesn’t match the drawings or a pressurization zone needs a custom piece, we fabricate and install the same week. Projects don’t sit waiting on outside suppliers.

Occupied facilities mean working around patients and staff. We plan our work to minimize disruption. That means sequencing, coordination, and communication with your facility team before we start.

Why Contractors Choose Santiam

Both scopes, one sub. Sheet metal installation and HVAC under one contract. Custom pieces built to tolerance in our own shop. One crew accountable for the airflow performance of the whole system.

Straight answers on scope and timelines. No surprises when conditions change. Work that passes inspection the first time. When something comes up, we call it out early.

We’ve worked alongside general contractors on some of the more complex mechanical projects in the mid-Valley. The ones who come back aren’t looking for the lowest bid. They’re looking for a crew that won’t put their project at risk.

Healthcare Facility Services

Install

Sheet metal systems and HVAC for new construction and major renovations. Plan-spec or design-build. Equipment selection, custom ductwork, installation, commissioning. Built to the ventilation and filtration standards each zone requires.

Maintain

Preventative maintenance keeps your systems running at spec between inspections. We schedule filtration changes, coil cleaning, belt checks, and control calibration around your facility. No deferred maintenance, no surprise failures.

Repair

When something fails in a clinical environment, response time matters. We prioritize healthcare facility calls. Our technicians know these systems and come ready to work.

Common Questions About Healthcare Facility Projects

What filtration standards do healthcare facilities require?
It depends on the space. Surgical suites, isolation rooms, and procedure areas each have specific minimum filtration ratings and air changes per hour under ASHRAE and Oregon code. We build to those requirements and can walk you through what applies to your project before we quote it.
Can you work in an occupied facility?
Yes. We plan our work around your schedule and coordinate with your facilities team. Most healthcare HVAC work requires phased execution to keep clinical spaces operational. That’s standard for us.
Do you work from plan and spec, or design-build?
Both. We work with architects and engineers on plan-spec projects, and we do design-build for owners who want a single point of contact for mechanical design and installation.
What's your service area for healthcare facilities?
Our commercial team serves four corners of Oregon and Southwest Washington.
