Services
Electrical Power Services
Designing safe, reliable electrical distribution systems for healthcare, industrial, and commercial facilities. Our engineers utilize state-of-the-art power analysis software to deliver substations, transformers, and distribution systems that minimize facility disruptions. With expertise in SCADA systems and utility grid contingency planning, we ensure continuous power access for critical operations.
Commissioning Services
Providing comprehensive building system verification from design through construction. Our ASHRAE-compliant process ensures HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and life safety systems meet contract specifications. We offer early design-phase commissioning to mitigate construction issues and guarantee sustainable system performance aligned with owner requirements.
Building Information Modeling
Leveraging Autodesk Revit for 3D modeling and collision detection since 2008. Our BIM services enhance project accuracy through real-time design contingencies and coordination. This technology improves budget adherence and reduces field coordination efforts by identifying system conflicts before construction begins.
Energy Modeling
Creating dynamic thermal and daylighting models to optimize energy efficiency. We analyze HVAC strategies, solar shading, and lighting systems to achieve LEED certification goals. Our computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations help reduce cooling loads and improve occupant comfort in commercial and industrial facilities.
Construction Administration
Providing full-cycle construction management from design through completion. Our engineers act as Owner Representatives, ensuring contractor compliance with specifications. We offer on-site inspection, progress monitoring, and coordination between design teams and construction crews to maintain project timelines and quality standards.
