Our healthcare solutions

Supporting healthcare stakeholders to save lives

Combining our urban and nuclear skills into one fully integrated service

Tractebel has many years of experience in delivering various healthcare projects , ranging from hospitals and research centres to the care of the elderly, both in new-build and renovation projects. To produce or use medical radioisotopes for diagnosis and treatment, facilities must be built with a design that incorporates nuclear ventilation and radioprotection requirements to prevent harm to workers and patients. 

By combining infrastructure, nuclear and radioprotection skills, Tractebel provides a unique one-stop-shop approach to design facilities hosting nuclear medicine equipment and radiotherapy. Our multidisciplinary approach enables us to provide an integrated solution at each stage of the projects, while putting sustainability at the center of every decision.
