CHALLENGES
Maacos’ owner was planning to open a new Vehicle painting & service retail store in North Carolina. The place was a big white box space with existing electrical, water, and sanitary services provided by the base building.
The client was looking for an affordable design by utilizing the existing services provided by the base building.
Following were the challenges-
- Minimum services at the ceiling to avoid obstructions.
- Identify and reuse existing base building MEP services.
- Provide a compressed air system to equipment.
- Design drainage system.
SOLUTION
Our team of design experts took the challenge and found the best possible routing for the MEP services to avoid obstructions to the operations of new stores. Water and the sanitary load were calculated and satisfied within available existing services.
New electric and gas services were provided for the new demand in compliance with all local and energy conservation requirements. The compressed air system was designed and sized to satisfy painting equipment requirements. The drainage system was designed with a sand/oil separator to avoid any blockages.
We saved the cost and time for the client by providing quick, affordable, and error-free design within 2 weeks which resulted in the smooth start-up of the new Maacos store.
Scope includes plumbing, HVAC & electrical.
