Our team meticulously engineered the system to provide optimal temperature control, air circulation, and ventilation throughout the facility. Through advanced HVAC technologies and our expertise in system design, we ensured seamless integration of the various components, allowing for efficient operation and minimal energy consumption.

The domestic water and sanitary waste systems that we designed took into account the special requirements involved in converting a historic building for modern use. We also designed a specialized grease system for the kitchen that ensured safe and efficient management of waste in compliance with local regulations and best practices.

In the electrical design, we performed a load calculation to upgrade the electrical utility service, paying close attention to the different demand factors and power requirements. We prepared detailed layouts of power and smart controls for the lighting.   

With all 3S MEP projects, a primary focus is integrating MEP and structural designs with the construction and architectural partners and the end-users to minimize the need for design adjustments or revisions during the construction process. Design teams from 3S MEP actively engage with all stakeholders to identify potential conflicts and optimize overall system layout. Our teams are exceptionally proficient at harmonizing essential building elements for successful outcomes.
