The scope of work included demolition drawings indicating existing HVAC ductwork, new ductwork distribution from existing HVAC units, new toilet exhaust and distribution, new general exhaust and distribution, local controls, design of a new ductless split system, and new gas distribution.

1. The Mechanical Scope:

The mechanical scope of work for the renovation project at the OB/GYN facility included creating demo drawings to indicate the existing HVAC ductwork, installing new ductwork distribution systems connected to existing HVAC units, new toilet and general exhaust systems for proper ventilation, local controls for efficient HVAC operation, design of a new ductless split system for heating and cooling, and installation of a new gas distribution system. The aim of the comprehensive mechanical scope was to ensure that the newly renovated facility had a modern and efficient HVAC system to meet the needs of healthcare providers and patients.

2. The Electrical Scope:

The electrical scope of work included demo drawings indicating existing lighting fixtures and equipment, low voltage/data design, electrical power outlets circuiting, emergency battery units, fire detection and alarm system, and fire alarm speakers/strobes.

3. The Plumbing Scope:

The plumbing scope of work included demo drawings indicating existing plumbing fixtures and piping, plumbing design to include toilets, restroom sinks, floor drains, exam room sinks, a washer box, a laundry tub, an ice maker box, a water heater, and hose bibs, a complete sanitary drainage and vent system, a complete domestic water (hot and cold) system, riser diagrams, a recirculation system, and plumbing fixtures.
