UPH Systems Rehabilitation

This project entails the design and technical rehabilitation of mechanical and fire protection systems within two existing dormitories located outside the US.

1. Design and Pre-Construction

• Establish a Design Basis Report identifying design standards, assumptions, and system performance criteria for HVAC and fire protection components.
• Provide calculations and recommendations for structural support of new HVAC equipment, including pads, anchorage, and vibration isolation.

• Perform code compliance reviews for mechanical, electrical, and life-safety systems in accordance with U.S. standards.
• Develop a Fire Protection and Life Safety Report prepared by a qualified fire protection engineer.
• Produce system performance calculations including duct sizing, static pressure, chilled/hot water system analysis, and sprinkler system hydraulics.
• Provide electrical load analysis and coordination for new mechanical equipment and control systems.

2. Construction Support 

2.1 Scope of Construction Assistance

• Provide review and verification of shop drawings and material submittals for compliance with the approved design.
• Conduct design review meetings and technical consultations throughout the construction phase.
• Assist with the resolution design clarifications as required.

3. Design Coverage and Discipline Involvement

The design scope will integrate the following engineering disciplines:

3.1 Architectural: Coordination of building entries, finishes, and minor architectural modifications impacted by MEP scope.

3.2 Structural: Design of pads and roof reinforcements for mechanical units.

3.3 Mechanical (HVAC): Chilled and hot water distribution, duct systems, exhaust and ventilation design, and equipment selection.

3.4 Plumbing: Fire suppression water supply and piping layouts.

3.5 Electrical: Power and control systems for HVAC and fire protection components.

3.6 Fire Protection: Sprinkler and alarm system design.
