1. The Mechanical Scope:

The mechanical aspect of the project entailed a comprehensive list of systems and equipment required for the smooth running of the building. This included the introduction of state-of-the-art split system (gas-fired) style HVAC systems which were designed to provide efficient heating and cooling for the building. Additionally, new make-up air units were installed to ensure proper ventilation throughout the building, and cabinet and unit heaters were placed in key areas such as the lobby, stairwells, bike room, electrical room, and water room. The scope also included the installation of new toilet exhaust and distribution systems, new kitchen exhaust and distribution systems, new general exhaust systems, dryer venting distribution systems, and local controls.

2. The Electrical Scope:

The electrical scope of the project focused on the design and implementation of various power and lighting systems. This included the design of power distribution systems, lighting system circuiting, electrical power outlets circuiting, emergency battery units, fire alarm detection and notification systems, fire detection and alarm systems, power system study, technology system design, power for food service and laundry equipment, and building transformer sizing. All systems were designed to meet the building’s electrical load and to ensure the safety of the residents.

3. The Plumbing Scope:

The plumbing scope of the project was designed to ensure the proper functioning of the building’s water and drainage systems. This included the installation of a complete sanitary drainage and vent system, complete domestic water (cold and hot) system, storm and roof drainage plans, an engineered recirculation system, selection for building grease trap, riser diagrams, natural gas distribution piping, and plumbing fixtures.
