Cabueñes University Hospital: precision and innovation in hospital engineering

We are participating, alongside Àtoms Enginyeria, in the project for the extension and refurbishment of Cabueñes University Hospital (Gijón), awarded by TRAGSATEC. The successful joint venture comprises Pinearq and Norniella Arquitectura, and our engineers are developing the hospital facilities, playing a key role in a field where reliability and continuity are essential.

Together with Àtoms Enginyeria, we are participating in the project for the expansion and refurbishment of the Cabueñes University Hospital (Gijón), awarded by TRAGSATEC.

Hospital engineering: technology and reliability

In a hospital, the installations are not merely an add-on; they are an essential part of its operation. In this project, our team is responsible for:

  • Critical systems with guaranteed 24/7 continuity.
  • Highly complex healthcare installations.
  • Air conditioning and environmental control in patient care areas.
  • Reliable electrical installations.
  • Medical gases, control and safety systems.
  • Energy integration in accordance with ERDF criteria.

Hospital engineering requires in-depth technical knowledge, specific regulations and an understanding of actual clinical operations. It is a highly specialised field, and this is where we bring experience, rigour and trust.

Strategic positioning at national level

Our involvement in this project reinforces our commitment to the healthcare sector at a national level. Hospital infrastructure is a particularly demanding environment, characterised by high levels of technology, multidisciplinary coordination and the highest operational standards.

Working in an integrated manner with Pinearq and Norniella Arquitectura allows us to coordinate architecture and hospital engineering from the initial stages, ensuring that every technical decision has a direct impact on efficiency, safety and the quality of care.

Impact and public value

The expansion of Cabueñes University Hospital is a strategic initiative for Asturias. Through our engineering expertise, we contribute to:

  • Energy-efficient infrastructure.
  • Resilient systems ready for the future.
  • Design focused on the life cycle and maintenance.
  • Guaranteed continuity of care.

Every technical decision has a direct impact on healthcare professionals and patients, and it is this responsibility that guides our work throughout the project.

Grup Carles Engineering continues to add value to the public health sector, combining technical expertise, innovation and a commitment to quality of care.
