A Complex Engineering Puzzle
The scale and mixed-use nature of Emporium Mall, particularly the massive food court with over 40 kitchens, presented a significant MEP challenge. This area required an enormous ventilation capacity and a specialized fire suppression system, distinct from the rest of the mall, to manage heat, grease, and heightened fire risk.
Innovative & Efficient
We installed a high-capacity, energy-efficient chiller plant for the main mall. For the food court, we designed a dedicated ventilation system with specialized kitchen exhaust hoods and ecology units to scrub the air. The fire safety solution included a dedicated wet chemical fire suppression system for each kitchen, fully integrated with the mall's overall addressable fire alarm and sprinkler network.
Key Project Outcomes
Engineered one of the largest and most efficient mall HVAC systems in Pakistan.
Successfully mitigated the unique fire risks of a large food court with specialized suppression systems.
Achieved full compliance with Lahore Development Authority (LDA) and international safety codes.
Provided a safe, comfortable, and world-class environment for a flagship retail destination.
“Emporium Mall is a landmark project, and every system had to be world-class. Their team's expertise in handling the complexities of a mixed-use development, especially the food court's MEP requirements, was outstanding. They delivered a reliable and efficient solution.”
