Mechanical Services
No matter the size, every construction project employs the help of various specialists to build and install the necessities and amenities you may take for granted within your own home. As commercial mechanical contractors we are crucial for ensuring a building has all mechanical utilities installed and operating. But what are mechanical services in construction? What are these utilities that require a specialist’s touch? When referring to mechanical services within a building, this commonly includes plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, ventilation, elevators, and possibly even escalators. If moving components are involved, such as water, electricity, or gas, it is most likely a mechanical system.
Mechanical systems exist to provide an environment that not only protects the building but also creates a safe, healthy surrounding for the occupants. Therefore, an understanding of the needs of these mechanical systems is important.
HVAC SYSTEM
Though often considered the machinery that controls the climate of a building, the HVAC system is more sophisticated than simply the rooftop or ground unit. Modern HVAC systems include rooftop or ground units along with air ducts, CO2 sensors, fans, dampeners, and thermostats, while some even include carbon monoxide detectors along with humidifiers and dehumidifiers. All components of this system work in tandem to maintain a comfortable environment within the building beyond temperature control. When all the components work together effectively, the building occupants are comfortable.
PLUMBING
Plumbing systems do more than just distribution of liquids, they are often complex. There may be more than a single system for plumbing. Typically, drinking water is fed to indoor faucets, bathtubs, showers, dishwashers, and washing machines. However, some buildings also have hot tubs, swimming pools, fountains, and irrigation systems. With multiple water systems, backflow preventers are necessary to prevent water contamination. Process piping is commonly used in industrial buildings such as bakeries or chemical manufacturing plants. While these pipes may contain water, they may also carry natural gas, propane, chemicals, etc. Regular inspection, monitoring, and cleaning are necessary to maintain safe, reliable operations.
