Renovating the restaurant at this world-class resort and convention center required teams from 3S MEP + Structural to design new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

The mechanical side included a heat-load calculation for the kitchen to design a new ventilation system, including exhaust and makeup air systems that met IMC-2015 standards. Work also included selecting a new heating system, rooftop unit and exhaust fan, among other equipment.

Electrical work encompassed new lighting, power and fire alarm layouts, and our team also designed a new general plumbing system — cold/hot water, sizing and selecting water heaters, a sanitary system and adequate venting.

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.
