Modular Operating Room (OR) Solutions for Saudi Hospitals — Design, Build & Commissioning
Prefabricated, cleanroom-grade operating theatres engineered for infection control and rapid deployment
What Is a Modular Operating Room?
A modular operating room is built from factory-manufactured wall, ceiling, and service panels rather than conventional site-built drywall and finishes. Panels arrive pre-engineered for cleanroom performance — sealed joints, antimicrobial surfaces, and integrated service routing for medical gas, isolated power, and data — and are assembled on site in a fraction of the time conventional construction takes.
That speed matters because every day an operating theatre is out of service is lost surgical capacity. Modular construction also gives tighter control over air quality and pressure differentials from day one, since the panel systems are engineered specifically for controlled environments rather than adapted from general building materials.
Modular OR — Typical Technical Parameters
| Cleanroom Classification | ISO Class 7 (general OR) to ISO Class 5 (ultra-clean/orthopedic) |
| Air Changes per Hour (ACH) | 20–25 ACH minimum, per ASHRAE 170 / FGI guidelines |
| Pressure Differential | Positive pressure relative to adjacent corridors |
| Filtration | HEPA filtration at minimum for most OR classes |
| Governing Standards | ISO 14644, ASHRAE 170, NFPA 99 |
From Design to Commissioning
Design & Layout Planning
Surgical workflow analysis, equipment coordination, and room layout engineered around your surgical team's operating procedures.
Prefabrication & Factory QA
Wall, ceiling, and service panels manufactured and quality-checked off-site before delivery, reducing on-site variability.
On-Site Installation & Integration
Panel assembly coordinated with existing electrical, isolated power, medical gas, and HVAC systems already in your facility.
Testing & Certification
Air change rates, particle counts, and pressure differentials verified before the room is released for clinical use.
Staff Handover & Maintenance
Operational handover with facility staff, plus scheduled maintenance plans to keep panel seals and services performing to spec.
Standards & Compliance
- ISO 14644 — cleanroom and controlled environment classification guidance applied to panel and air handling design
- NFPA 99 — coordinated electrical safety requirements where the room integrates with isolated power systems
- Saudi healthcare facility and Civil Defense requirements for installed materials and fire-rated assemblies
Hospital Application Scenarios
OR Room Maintenance Plans
One-Time Maintenance
A single scheduled visit — panel seal inspection, service penetration check, and pressure differential verification. Ideal ahead of a compliance audit or accreditation visit.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled recurring visits to inspect panel seals, HEPA filtration, and pressure control, catching wear before it affects room performance.
Corrective Maintenance
Rapid-response repair when a panel seal, service penetration, or air handling component fails — restoring cleanroom performance quickly.
Modular OR Room Services Across Saudi Arabia
We design, build, and commission modular operating rooms for hospitals and surgical centers nationwide — from Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah to Dammam, Al Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail, and on to Yanbu, Taif, Abha, Tabuk, Hail, Qassim and Najran, covering every region of the Kingdom.
Frequently Asked Questions
What air change rate and cleanroom class does an operating room need?
Most general operating rooms are designed to ISO Class 7 with a minimum of 20–25 air changes per hour, following ASHRAE 170 and FGI guidelines. Ultra-clean applications like orthopedic implant surgery are typically held to a tighter ISO Class 5. The exact figures for your room are set by its clinical use, not a single number applied to every theatre, and are verified by commissioned particle-count testing after installation — not assumed from a datasheet.
Can a modular OR be integrated with our existing isolated power and medical gas systems?
Yes — the panel system is designed with integrated service routing for isolated power, medical gas, and data, and our installation is coordinated directly with whatever isolated power, HVAC, and medical gas infrastructure your facility already has, rather than treating the room as a standalone box.
What does a modular operating room (OR) project typically include?
A modular OR project typically includes design and layout planning, factory-prefabricated wall, ceiling, and service panels, on-site installation coordinated with your existing isolated power, medical gas, and HVAC systems, and testing/certification of air changes and pressure differentials before the room is released for clinical use.
Is modular operating room construction always faster than conventional build-out?
Usually, but not unconditionally. Modular systems are most advantageous at scale — a multi-theatre suite where the same panel design repeats — where the speed benefit is real. For a single theatre in an existing building with irregular geometry, or a genuinely custom layout, conventional construction's design flexibility can outweigh the timeline benefit. We cost and timeline both options before you commit rather than defaulting to modular for every project.
Maintenance and support after handover
Our work does not end at commissioning. We keep your systems running with a maintenance plan built around your site.
1, 2 or 3-year maintenance contracts
Planned preventive maintenance visits, inspection and test reports, and recommendations, on a contract length that suits your site.
Emergency visits
Emergency call-outs are part of the maintenance contract and are handled with priority according to the criticality of your site.
One team for every system
We maintain every system we supply and install, and we can take over the maintenance of existing systems on your site.
Visit frequency, emergency arrangements and spare parts are agreed with each client based on the site and the systems covered.
