MEP Systems Design: Electrical, Mechanical and Hydraulic Systems

KITE Engineering is your partner for MEP Systems Engineering and Construction (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing Systems): our company aims to provide our Clients with the best MEP Systems solutions, developing unique and customised projects, fully complying with all technical and legislative requirements, while ensuring quality, budget requirements and timing.

We specialise in the Design of electrical and hydromechanical plants and systems, such as plumbing systems, heating, air conditioning and air treatment systems, gas distribution and fume exhaust systems, water lifting stations, geothermal exchange systems and MEP Electrical and Mechanical Management and Control Systems.

MEP Systems Design for civil buildings, Industries and production plants is constantly oriented towards environmental and managerial sustainability: we offer the best technical solutions to reduce consumption and emissions, yet ensuring our end users satisfaction. Thanks to a high level of competence and experience in the MEP systems sector, our team of electrical, mechanical and hydraulic engineers, constantly trained and updated, is able to support our Clients in every single step of the project, from the feasibility study and initial concept, to the execution. We provide full support and assistance throughout the whole construction process: from the tenders and MEP Management, to the testing and the maintenance planning.

MEP Engineering for electrical and thermomechanical systems

Our MEP Engineering process follows four main steps: the first one is the Plant Engineering Concept, followed by the Design, Plant Engineering Development and Construction phase. Each phase entails specific technical activities, evaluations and analyses.

1. Plant Engineering Concept

After considering the overall structure and infrastructure of the building and its intended use, we design the MEP Systems Concept, first of all identifying all power sources, then the connections with external networks, spaces, technical rooms, shafts and the main plant connections. In this phase, we define the nature of the mechanical and electrical systems and their impact on the final architectural and structural aspects of the project.

2. Preliminary Plant Design

Once the Concept Design of the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems has been defined, our team of Engineers and Specialists proceeds developing a Preliminary Project of the technological systems, to define all building’s energy needs and power distribution; balancing out the technical plant requirements with all structural and architectural aspects.

3. Final Design
It is time to proceed with the final design of the technological systems. In this phase, we define the nature, equipment and performance of all MEP systems and any other special system. We determine a cost estimate for all plant construction works, indicating the quantity and costs to the relative budget to start off with the plant engineering works. Also in this stage, we draft the project documents of the plants for administrative and authorisation purposes. After this, the final plant engineering and related documents are ready.
4. MEP Systems Execution Design

After sharing and evaluating the definitive project with the Client, revising and amending, we proceed with the fourth and final stage, the Execution Design. In this final Project, you can evaluate Systems Engineering and the development activities to be carried out, quantifying each technical element by type, quality, quantity, specification and price, so much in detail to be valid for tenders. In this phase, we implement all notes and considerations emerged, integrating and coordinating the executive project with the updated architectural plans.

Plant Works Management and MEP on site Supervision

After the MEP Systems Execution Design that includes all Electrical, Mechanical and Hydraulic Systems, we carry on with site inspections and on-site technical coordination meetings between the various players involved. Our work supervision activities and MEP Engineering Supervision include multiple tasks, from checking the execution and work progress, to checking the adequacy and quality of materials. More specifically, the following services are included:

MEP Engineering Management Services

  • Work execution Evaluations.

  • Timing Evaluation.

  • MEP Systems construction Progress evaluation in compliance with the project execution and construction.

  • On site meetings to coordinate plant engineering activities with other areas.

  • Material specifications submitted by plant engineers and consistency evaluations with tender specifications.

  • Work progress and material congruence check with project estimates and tenders.

  • Quality control to evaluate compliance with the standards of good practice and with contract’s requirements.

MEP Systems Testing

We carry on MEP Systems functional and performance testing activities on the electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems and evaluate their compliance with executive projects. Our tests are carried out both during construction, in particular on those parts that will no longer be accessible once the work is completed, as well as at the end of the system installation, to make sure that every element is according to plans and safety regulations.The Testing phase and the relative certifications represent a guarantee of quality and safety for the systems and increase the commercial value of the work.

Consulting services, evaluation and control of electrical systems

We offer a range of plant consultancy services and instrumental checks, tests and functionality surveys of electrical systems and produce all project documentation in compliance with the technical and legislative regulations. We cover electrical, electrotechnical and photovoltaic systems, industrial electrical systems, civil electrical systems, electrical systems for the automation of residential buildings, switchboard design, diagrams and electrical circuits for industrial automation, infrastructures, commercial premises and production facilities. Here our main Engineering activities and services we offer in the development of electrical systems:

  • Electrical systems evaluation and their compliance with the as-built project drawn up by installing companies.

  • Certifications check in reference with DM37/05.

  • Visual checks on the electrical systems to verify standards and compliance with current regulations.

  • Instrumental checks against indirect contacts.

  • Functionality check of the differential switches.

  • Measurement of insulation resistance.

  • Polarity tests.

  • Measurement of average illuminance.

  • Random check of the continuity of the protective and equipotential conductors according to the provisions of art. 612.2 of the CEI 64-8 standard.

  • Random check of the detachability of the cables and the dimensions of the pipes and ducts.
  • Random check of the coordination between short-circuit currents and breaking capacities of the devices and maximum permissible peak and short-time duration currents.

Consulting services, verification and testing of mechanical systems

As for electrical systems, we offer plant engineering consultancy services to verify, control, calibrate, simulate and test mechanical systems and all the structural technical components. That includes mechanical, thermo-mechanical systems, VCM systems or controlled mechanical ventilation systems, ventilation and air exchange systems, air conditioning, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems air (HVAC), and for all plants, plumbing-sanitary systems, waste systems, fluid management for civil and industrial buildings. Below our main engineering activities and services for mechanical systems:

  • Verification of the mechanical systems and their compliance with installing companies projects.

  • Certifications evaluations in reference with DM37/05.

  • Visual checks on the mechanical systems to verify standards and compliance with current regulations.
