Healthcare

MEP for hospitals

Where uptime is measured in lives.

Critical power redundancy

ICUs, theatres, dialysis and neonatal care cannot lose power for the eight seconds a generator takes to come online. Hospital-grade UPS sized for true full load, not nameplate — and tested annually under fault conditions.

Infection-control airflow

Theatre laminar flow, isolation-room negative pressure, pharmacy clean rooms — designed to hold pressure differentials through real door-opening scenarios, not just at steady state.

Medical gas pipelines

Oxygen, N₂O, medical air, vacuum and AGSS to ISO 7396-1, pressure-tested and oxygen-cleaned, with valve boxes laid out around clinical workflow.

Scope of work
  • Critical power — MV/LV switchgear, isolation transformers, life-safety UPS, dual-path generators with N+1, tested transfer switching
  • HVAC — redundant chiller plant, VAV, OR laminar flow, isolation-room pressure control, MRI precision climate
  • Fire safety — NFPA 99 healthcare fire safety, smoke control, voice evacuation, nurse-call integration
  • Medical gases — full pipeline systems to ISO 7396-1
  • Water — thermally balanced hot water, dialysis water treatment, lab-grade supply
Hospitality

MEP for hotels & resorts

Built for guest comfort, costed for operations.

Diversity factor, honestly applied

Hotels run at 60–75% of design load most of the year. Sizing for 100% peak wastes capex; sizing for average leaves you short on banquet nights. We size to the right percentile and document the assumption.

Acoustic isolation designed in

Every plant room is potentially audible from the suite next door. Pump skids, AHU vibration and generator start-up need acoustic treatment specified at design stage, not retrofitted at handover.

Hot water that survives 7am

When 70% of rooms shower at once, the plant gets tested. Designed to BS 6700 with redundancy and recirculation, and pre-tested against a simulated demand profile before commissioning.

Scope of work
  • Power — MV/LV distribution, generators, life-safety UPS, ATS sequencing, BMS integration
  • HVAC — chiller plant, guest-room VRF, public-area AHUs, kitchen exhaust, IAQ controls
  • Fire safety — NFPA pump rooms, sprinklers throughout, hydrants, kitchen suppression, addressable detection
  • Plumbing — cold and hot water, recirculation, sewer ejectors, pool plant, irrigation
  • Specialised — pool dehumidification, hotel laundry integration, back-office IT cooling
Industrial

MEP for factories

Built for production, costed for energy.

Production-aligned scheduling

Shutdowns coordinated to the production schedule, not contractor convenience. Phased commissioning that lets the line keep running while new sections come online.

Process cooling, not comfort cooling

RMG sewing floors need humidity control more than temperature. Pharma needs both, precisely. Cold storage needs neither for the staff and both for the product. We design for the process.

Heavy electrical loads

Large motors, welding bays, induction furnaces and compressed-air plant bring harmonic distortion and voltage sag. Power quality gets designed on day one, not diagnosed in year two.

Scope of work
  • Power — MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, prime and standby generators, PFC capacitor banks, line-level sub-metering
  • HVAC & process cooling — industrial chillers, process-sized AHUs, evaporative cooling, dust extraction, factory dehumidification
  • Fire safety — industrial sprinklers, foam suppression for fuel risks, dust-rated detection, ESFR storage racks
  • Compressed air — compressors, dryers, ring mains, point-of-use regulation
  • Specialised — wastewater pre-treatment, condensate and process heat recovery, solar PV where it pays
From concept to commissioning

High-performance MEP, end-to-end.

One team for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection—from design and installation to commissioning and maintenance.

Backed by ISO 9001:2015 certification and CIDA EM1 registration across all MEP categories, our certified teams apply proven methodologies to ensure efficient delivery, reliable performance and long service life.

Mechanical · Electrical · Plumbing

Three disciplines, one engineering team.

Every NativeWay MEP commission is delivered by one in-house team — designed, installed, commissioned and maintained without handing off between trades.

Anatomy of a project

From a sketch on a napkin to year 30 of maintenance.

Five stages, one team. Every NativeWay MEP project moves through the same accountable process.

01
Design

Brief & engineering

Load calcs, schematics, BIM model, specifications and tender-ready BoQ — based on your operating profile, not a template.

02
Procure

Specify & source

Equipment specced for tropical climate, local codes and parts availability — sourced through our 80-year supplier network.

03
Build

Install & coordinate

In-house mechanical, electrical and plumbing crews working off one BIM model — no sub-sub coordination gaps.

04
Commission

Test & hand over

System-by-system commissioning, balancing, witness testing, O&M manuals, training and tagged handover.

05
Maintain

AMC & lifecycle

Same team that built it keeps it running — preventive maintenance, spares, 24/7 emergency response, retrofits at year 15.

Sectors we serve

The same engineering, calibrated to the building.

A hospital is not a hotel. A factory is not a bank. We've spent eight decades learning the difference — and the codes that come with each.

MEP contractor Sri Lanka · questions procurement teams ask

Before you shortlist us.

Is NativeWay a CIDA EM1 graded MEP contractor?

Yes. NativeWay holds CIDA EM1 — the top of the five grades (EM1–EM5) for electrical and mechanical contractors in Sri Lanka — across all E&M categories. CIDA grades specialty by specialty, and any grade can be checked on the contractor grade search at cida.gov.lk. We are also ISO 9001:2015 certified.

What size of MEP project can an EM1 contractor take on?

EM1 is the only electrical and mechanical grade with no upper band — it starts above Rs 100 million of annual capacity under CIDA’s table effective 1 April 2025. EM2 stops at Rs 100 million and EM5 at Rs 4 million, so a full MEP package for a hotel or a multi-storey building is EM1 territory. See our CIDA grading guide for the full table.

Do you price tenders to a consultant’s BoQ, or design and build?

Both. We price consultant-designed tenders against the drawings and BoQ, and we take design-and-build commissions from concept through commissioning. Either way, the same in-house team carries the job into handover and annual maintenance.

Which MEP disciplines do you deliver in-house?

Mechanical (HVAC, chiller plant, ventilation, dehumidification), electrical (standby and prime generation, transformers and switchgear, LV distribution, fire detection, lighting, CCTV), plumbing and drainage, and fire protection. One engineering team, one contract — no handovers between trades.

Which sectors do you work in?

Hospitals, hotels and resorts, factories (RMG, food and beverage, pharma), power generation, universities and public buildings, and commercial and residential high-rise. The projects above include a 350 MW power plant, a maternity hospital, a biscuit factory, an airport hotel, a university faculty and a 650-unit apartment tower.

Where in Sri Lanka do you work?

Island-wide. Our head office is in Colombo, with service centres in Colombo, Matara and Anuradhapura for maintenance and breakdown response. Recent projects run from Kerawalapitiya and Katunayake to Ranala, Ja-Ela, Dehiwala and Karapitiya in Galle.

Which codes and approvals do you design to?

Local approvals — UDA, CEB, NWS&DB and the Fire & Rescue Department — are designed in and drawing-approved before installation. Design and commissioning follow ASHRAE, NFPA, IEC and BS-EN where applicable.

What CIDA EM1 means for your MEP tender

Sri Lanka's CIDA EM1 grading sets the floor for who can bid on serious MEP packages — from hospital fit-outs to power-plant balance-of-plant. If you're issuing a tender or evaluating bidders, the EM1 question shapes what you can ask for, what insurances you get, and what recourse you have. Our procurement guide unpacks what the certificate actually means in practice. Read the CIDA EM1 tender guide →
