Services
Mechanical Design
Our mechanical design services focus on creating efficient building systems tailored to specific project requirements. We specialize in HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems for commercial and industrial facilities. Our engineers utilize advanced software tools to develop optimized solutions that balance performance, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness while meeting all regulatory standards.
Energy Studies
We conduct comprehensive energy studies to evaluate building system performance and identify efficiency improvement opportunities. Our analysis includes lifecycle cost assessments and recommendations for sustainable technologies like geothermal systems. These studies help clients make informed decisions about energy-saving investments that reduce operating costs while maintaining occupant comfort and system reliability.
Construction Administration
Our construction administration services ensure proper implementation of design specifications during project execution. We provide site visits, submittal reviews, and coordination with contractors to maintain design integrity. This oversight helps prevent costly errors while ensuring compliance with mechanical codes and project requirements throughout the construction process.
Geothermal Systems
We design geothermal heating and cooling systems that leverage earth energy for sustainable building operations. Our expertise includes system sizing, ground loop configuration, and integration with building mechanical systems. These solutions offer significant energy savings while meeting environmental goals for commercial and institutional facilities seeking LEED certification or other sustainability benchmarks.
Chiller Plant Design
Our specialized chiller plant design services cover central cooling systems for large-scale facilities. We handle capacity planning, equipment selection, and control system integration to ensure reliable temperature management. This expertise extends to complex projects like the Bass Pro Pyramid, where we designed systems to meet unique architectural and operational requirements while maintaining energy efficiency.
