BUILDING MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
Beyond the more obvious building mechanical systems of HVAC and plumbing, building mechanical systems include escalators, elevators, moving walkways, garage lifts, automated gates, building sump systems, side sewers, kitchen vent hoods, fire protection systems, water filtration equipment and gas piping. Our engineers are experienced in evaluating all types of building mechanical systems and can opine on the system's design and installation, and the cause of damage and loss.
BUILDING ELECTRICAL CONSULTING
The scope of building electrical systems has increased over the past several decades to include items such as digital communications systems, Building Automation Systems (BAS), vehicle charging stations, uninterruptible power supplies, and fire alarm control units. Our experts provide valuable insight into the design, construction, and commissioning of these systems, as well the more traditional electrical conversion and distribution systems that are common to nearly all buildings.
PLUMBING CONSULTING
Our engineering experts have extensive knowledge of building plumbing systems and can assist in determining the cause of a plumbing malfunction or an associated water loss event.
HEATING, VENTILATION & AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) CONSULTING
Our engineers are experienced in diagnosing complex systems such as Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF). They provide insight into the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance which can play an integral role in establishing the cause of a malfunction and damage. Our engineers are well versed in the more traditional systems as well, with expertise in condensing and steam boilers, gas-fired furnaces, hydronic heating, and ground-sourced heat pumps.
