Mechanical Engineering

Our mechanical engineers deliver HVAC, plumbing, drainage, and fire-protection systems engineered for comfort, efficiency, and code compliance in a demanding climate. Cooling loads, ventilation, and water and waste strategies are modelled and sized for performance, then coordinated through plant rooms and service zones with the structure and electrical design. We aim for systems that are quiet, low in running cost, and straightforward to maintain.

How we work

In a climate where cooling dominates the energy bill, we begin with room-by-room heat-load calculations that account for solar gain, occupancy, and fresh-air requirements. From these we select the HVAC strategy — chilled-water plant, packaged units, VRF, or district cooling connections — and size chillers, air-handling units, fan-coils, and ductwork for comfort and efficiency, with ventilation rates set to the Saudi Building Code and ASHRAE guidance.

Plumbing and drainage are designed in parallel: domestic cold and hot water, pumping and storage, soil and waste, and rainwater systems, sized for demand and routed for maintainability. Fire protection — sprinklers, standpipes, and pumps — is engineered to NFPA and civil-defence requirements and integrated with the electrical life-safety design so detection, suppression, and smoke control act together.

Ductwork, pipework, plant rooms, and service risers are modelled in BIM and coordinated against structure and electrical containment to keep ceiling voids workable and plant accessible. We document the systems for quiet operation, low running cost, and straightforward maintenance over the building life.
