MEP engineering for dental and medical facilities. Electrical loads, medical gas, HVAC, and plumbing designed as one coordinated package so the trades do not fight each other on site.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for dental and medical buildings, sized to the equipment list and the way the clinic operates.
Load calculations against the actual equipment: panoramic at around 3 kW, autoclave at 2.5 kW, compressor at 1.5-5.5 kW depending on chair count. Dedicated circuits for X-ray and chairs, separate distribution for IT, and a UPS or generator where the operatory cannot afford a brown-out.
Dental unit waterlines with backflow prevention, ISO 11143 amalgam separators, central suction drainage, demineralised water for autoclaves. Designed to local healthcare plumbing code and the dental chair manufacturer's requirements.
Ventilation at 6-10 ACH for general operatories, 12+ ACH for surgical rooms, MERV 13 to HEPA H13 filtration depending on the procedure, and humidity held between 30 and 60 percent. Pressure relationships keep dirty utility and sterilisation isolated from clean zones.
Dedicated extract for sterilisation, lab benches, and surgical suites. Negative-pressure isolation where infection risk demands it, positive-pressure clean zones where it does not. HEPA on return air for any room with aerosol-generating procedures.

Five stages from equipment list to commissioned systems.
We list the equipment, ask about expansion plans, and run the numbers: electrical load with diversity factors, water demand, ventilation rate, and any medical gas needs. The output drives the rest of the design.
Single-line electrical diagrams, plumbing isometrics, HVAC duct layouts, and equipment schedules. Drawings are coordinated against the architectural and structural plans so duct routes do not collide with beams.
We sit down with the electrical, mechanical, and plumbing contractors before they break ground. Clashes are resolved on paper. Sequencing is agreed so the electrician is not waiting on the plumber, or vice versa.
Specifications, equipment schedules, and as-built drawings. Compliance certificates for medical gas, electrical, and plumbing prepared for regulatory submission.
Site visits during installation. We inspect first-fix electrical and plumbing before walls close, witness pressure tests on medical gas, and sign off on commissioning of HVAC balance and equipment start-up.
