Services
Mechanical Engineering
Our mechanical engineering team designs advanced heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for complex facilities. We specialize in laboratory environments, healthcare spaces, and high-security buildings requiring precise climate control. With expertise in geothermal systems and thermal energy storage, we create energy-efficient solutions that reduce long-term operational costs while maintaining optimal performance standards.
Electrical Engineering
We develop comprehensive electrical systems for government and commercial buildings, including microgrid technology and data center infrastructure. Our engineers design resilient power distribution networks with integrated cybersecurity protections. Specialized capabilities include emergency power systems for healthcare facilities and advanced lighting solutions that meet strict energy efficiency requirements while ensuring operational reliability.
Building Information Modeling
Our BIM specialists create detailed 3D models that optimize building systems integration and construction workflows. This technology enhances project coordination across disciplines, reduces construction conflicts, and improves facility lifecycle management. We utilize BIM for complex projects requiring precise spatial coordination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in healthcare, laboratory, and government facilities.
Technology Consulting
We provide technology infrastructure consulting for mission-critical environments, including secure government facilities and healthcare institutions. Our services cover structured cabling systems, network architecture, and specialized communication requirements. With Registered Communications Distribution Designers on staff, we ensure technology systems align with evolving industry standards while maintaining compatibility with building mechanical and electrical infrastructure.
Sustainable Design
Our sustainable design practice focuses on reducing environmental impact through innovative energy solutions. We implement geothermal heat pump systems, solar energy integration, and advanced energy storage technologies. As signatories of the MEP 2040 Challenge, we commit to achieving net-zero carbon emissions in our designs by 2040 while delivering cost-effective, high-performance building systems for government and commercial clients.
