Retrofitting the MEP-FP System for Maintenance Garage with Office in Bronx, New York

Task Assigned

Our team was engaged to assess and redesign the outdated MEP systems for a single-story Vehicle Repair Shop and Parts Storage/Sales Facility. The scope of work encompassed a comprehensive evaluation of existing infrastructure and services, preparation of updated CAD-based design documentation, close coordination with the structural and architectural teams, and support during phased implementation to ensure minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Additional Notes

• The existing electrical equipment was outdated, and the repair area housed numerous miscellaneous loads. So, we implemented new equipment without revising the leading service, while devising load-management strategies to prevent system overloads.
• The building required extension of fire protection piping and verification of system pressure across the facility. We conducted hydraulic calculations from scratch and verified pressure availability at each sprinkler head.
• We successfully upgraded electrical systems without requiring floor shutdowns. Also, our team achieved renovation of MEP-FP services at minimal cost while ensuring compliance and operational continuity.
