Peking University International Hospital
Peking University International Hospital is located in Peking University Medical City within Zhongguancun Life Science Park, Changping District, Beijing. It is a large general hospital integrating medical services, teaching, and research, with a total floor area of approximately 440,000 square meters and 1,800 approved beds. As a large public healthcare building, the hospital includes numerous water-use areas and a complex piping network, placing high requirements on the hygiene, durability, and long-term stability of the water supply piping system. The project uses Franta stainless steel piping systems.

Healthcare Facilities
Challenges in Healthcare Facility Plumbing Projects
Healthcare facilities such as hospitals, medical centers, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and healthcare complexes operate continuously and place high demands on water supply reliability, hygiene, and system maintenance. Patient rooms, public areas, kitchens, sanitary facilities, equipment rooms, and pump rooms all depend on stable piping systems, making material durability and long-term system performance especially important.
Common challenges in healthcare facility water supply systems mainly include the following three aspects:
1. High Water Hygiene Requirements Demand Reliable Piping Materials
Water supply systems in healthcare facilities serve patient rooms, sanitary areas, kitchens, public spaces, and other frequently used areas. Corrosion, scaling, deposits, or aging inside the piping system may affect water quality and increase maintenance requirements. Piping materials must therefore support hygienic and reliable long-term water delivery.
2. Continuous Operation Requires High System Reliability
Hospitals and other healthcare facilities operate around the clock, and water supply interruptions may affect patient services, sanitation, kitchens, and daily facility operations. Leakage, blockage, corrosion, or connection failures can therefore create greater operational impact than in ordinary buildings.
3. Complex Functional Areas Increase Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Healthcare buildings contain patient areas, offices, sanitary spaces, kitchens, equipment rooms, pump rooms, pipe shafts, suspended ceilings, and other functional zones. Different areas may require different pipe diameters, installation methods, and connection systems. At the same time, maintenance work must minimize disruption to normal healthcare operations.
Franta Stainless Steel Piping Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
Franta provides stainless steel piping system solutions for hospitals, medical centers, clinics, rehabilitation facilities, and other healthcare buildings. The system can be applied to domestic hot and cold water supply, building main pipelines, floor branch piping, pump rooms, equipment connections, sanitary areas, and other general water supply applications.
According to different pipe diameters, installation areas, and operating requirements, Franta offers bare stainless steel pipes, plastic-coated stainless steel pipes, pre-insulated stainless steel pipes, press-fit fittings, grooved fittings, flange connections, valves, and sealing accessories, providing coordinated piping solutions from pump rooms and main pipelines to branch lines and terminal water outlets.
1. For Water Hygiene: Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Piping
Franta stainless steel pipes are available in 304, 304L, and 316L stainless steel. Their corrosion resistance and smooth inner surfaces help reduce scaling and deposits inside the pipeline, supporting hygienic and reliable long-term water delivery in healthcare facilities.
Stainless steel piping can be used in domestic hot and cold water systems, potable water systems, sanitary areas, kitchens, patient areas, and other general water supply applications according to project requirements.
2. For Continuous Operation: Durable Piping Systems Help Reduce Maintenance Risks
Healthcare facilities require reliable water supply throughout daily operation. Durable stainless steel piping helps reduce risks associated with corrosion, leakage, blockage, and aging, supporting stable system operation over a long service life.
For hot water systems and areas with temperature differences, pre-insulated stainless steel pipes can help reduce heat loss and condensation. Plastic-coated stainless steel pipes can provide additional external protection in concealed installation areas such as walls, pipe shafts, and ceilings.
3. For Complex Installation Areas: Multiple Connection Methods Improve System Adaptability
Healthcare projects include both small- and medium-diameter branch piping and larger-diameter main pipelines and pump-room systems. Franta provides different product and connection combinations according to pipe diameter and installation location:
- Building main pipelines and pump-room piping: stainless steel pipes can be combined with grooved fittings or flange connections for high-flow water transmission and equipment connections.
- Floor branch pipes and terminal piping: bare or plastic-coated stainless steel pipes can be combined with press-fit fittings for efficient installation in patient areas, sanitary spaces, offices, and other functional zones.
- Hot water and equipment piping: pre-insulated stainless steel pipes, valves, flange fittings, and sealing accessories can be configured according to system requirements for zone control, inspection, and maintenance.
Through flexible combinations of pipes, fittings, valves, and connection methods, Franta stainless steel piping systems can adapt to different functional areas while helping healthcare facilities maintain reliable water supply and convenient long-term maintenance.
