Mechanical Piping
Drawings & Coordination

Initial layout: We initially draw the HVAC pipes as shown per the contract drawings. We draw the units per the approved submittals, study and draw the steel, ceilings and light fixtures. We then start the coordination process.

Coordination: We coordinate the main runs of the HVAC piping by figuring out an elevation that would work with the different ceilings heights in the building. We try to avoid as many jumps up/down as possible to avoid trapping the water and the need for additional drains. We usually keep the HVAC piping close to the ceilings, so it only needs to go up to connect to units. Condensate pipes elevations are also started at the lowest elevation possible, to allow for jumps above other trades, when required to avoid clashes. We finalize with the coordination of the branches and verify clashes with the ceilings. We offer single trade coordination or multi trades coordination. When we are hired for multi trades coordination, we resolve most clashes in-house without the need of meetings.
