Supporting Safer Healthcare Environments
Disys Technologies’ Expertise in Fire Damper Control Systems for Hospitals
Fire and smoke control systems play a critical role in protecting patients, staff and vital infrastructure within healthcare environments. Hospitals present some of the most complex and demanding building scenarios, requiring robust, intelligent and fully compliant fire damper control solutions- supported by responsive servicing and specialist expertise.
At Disys Technologies, we have built a strong reputation for the design, supply, commissioning and ongoing support of fire and smoke damper control systems, with particular experience in hospital and healthcare settings across the UK.
Proud to Join the BESA Group as an Affiliate Member
We are delighted to announce that Disys Technologies is now an Affiliate Member of the BESA Group. Joining BESA reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation and collaboration across the building services industry.
As part of the BESA network, we look forward to working alongside fellow members to drive best practice, raise standards and contribute to a more sustainable futurefor our sector. This affiliation reinforces our focus on quality, safety and continuous improvement, values that are especially important in safety‑critical environments such as hospitals.
Proven Hospital Experience Across the UK
Disys has extensive experience delivering and supporting damper control systems within live healthcare environments, where system reliability, clarity of control and effective commissioning are paramount.
One notable project included the commissioning of 1,100 dampers as part of an extension to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, Fife, demonstrating our capability to deliver at scale while working within the strict operational requirements of an active hospital.
Our nationwide healthcare experience also includes damper control projects at major hospitals such as:
- Royal Shrewsbury Hospital
- Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth
- Manchester Royal Infirmary
- Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Harrow
- Edinburgh Royal Infirmary
- Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle
- The Princess Royal Hospital, Telford
This track record has given us a deep understanding of the operational challenges faced by NHS estates teams and contractors, from phased commissioning and zoning to long‑term maintainability and rapid fault response.
Expanding to Better Serve a Growing Nationwide Customer Base
To support our continued growth and improve service levels for customers across the UK, We are moving to new, larger and better‑equipped headquarters, remaining in South Wales while significantly expanding our operational capacity.
In parallel, we are investing in our people by employing additional service engineers in regional hotspots, including Scotland and the Southeast of England. This regional expansion allows us to reduce response times for service and maintenance calls, particularly at hospitals and other critical sites where rapid intervention is essential.
Commitment to Safety and Compliance
Safety underpins everything we do. Disys Technologies has successfully attained SafeContractor approval, underscoring our commitment to the highest standards in health and safety across our electrical and life‑safety services.
This recognition aligns with the robust requirements of the SSIP Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme, reinforcing our dedication to delivering fire and smoke damper servicing and maintenance solutions that meet the stringent expectations of healthcare environments.
Innovation Through Focused R&D
Alongside our project and service expertise, Disys has recently placed increased focus on research and development, expanding our damper control portfolio to support projects of all sizes and levels of complexity.
Key developments include:
- DCS‑EM2, a compact new solution designed to control up to two dampers, ideal for smaller installations or decentralised applications.
- The FireSmart range, incorporating self‑addressing functionality to simplify commissioning, reduce installation time and minimise the potential for errors.
- The evolving TUI range, particularly suited to hospitals and large healthcare estates, capable of controlling up to 2,000 dampers across up to 200 zones, with a network length of up to 3 km- providing scalability and resilience across extensive sites.
These innovations ensure Disys systems remain adaptable, intuitive and aligned with the evolving needs of modern hospitals.
A Trusted Partner for Healthcare Fire Safety
From large‑scale commissioning projects to responsive servicing, from safety accreditation to continuous product innovation, Disys Technologies brings together experience, technical expertise and a clear understanding of healthcare environments.
As we continue to grow, invest and collaborate across the industry, our focus remains the same: supporting safer hospitals through reliable, intelligent fire damper control systems today and for the future.
