Mechanical engineering

Engineering services (Mechanical engineering)

We define the system duty, operating conditions and equipment requirements for the appointed mechanical scope. Design calculations and technical assessments inform the selection of pumping, piping, ventilation and associated plant.

Plant space, service routes, access and maintenance requirements are coordinated with the wider design team. For upgrades, existing records, operating data, shutdown constraints and site conditions establish the basis for the proposed work.

Scope of expertise

The appointment is defined around the facility, available information and required project outcomes. Relevant services can include:

• Mechanical system requirements and basis of design
• Pumping, piping and associated plant arrangements within the agreed scope
• Ventilation and smoke control interfaces
• Equipment specification and technical evaluation
• Coordination of access, maintenance space and installation interfaces

Design and deliverables

We establish the system duty and constraints, assess options and develop the selected solution to the agreed level of detail. Design information is coordinated with architecture, structures, electrical services and specialist suppliers where those interfaces apply. Technical decisions and exclusions are recorded for the project team.

Project information

Provide available drawings, operating duties, service information, plant data and known performance concerns. Identify shutdown restrictions, expansion plans and maintenance requirements before the scope is finalised.

The scope, deliverables, site involvement and responsibilities are confirmed for each appointment.
