A Complex Engineering Puzzle
The mall's prime location next to the sea exposed all MEP equipment to extreme saline humidity, causing rapid corrosion and system degradation. The HVAC system required specialized protection, and the plumbing system needed to handle a high water table and massive footfall without risk of failure or backflow.
Innovative & Efficient
We deployed a high-efficiency HVAC system with specialized anti-corrosion coatings (hydrophilic fins and epoxy-coated casings) on all outdoor chillers and AHUs. For plumbing, we engineered a high-capacity storm and sanitary drainage system with duplex sump pumps. The fire system included stainless steel pipes in critical areas to ensure long-term reliability in the harsh environment.
Key Project Outcomes
Extended the operational lifespan of critical MEP equipment by over 40% through advanced anti-corrosion measures.
Engineered a zero-failure plumbing and drainage system, critical for a high-traffic coastal property.
Achieved 100% compliance with all fire safety regulations for a premier commercial high-rise.
Maintained a consistently comfortable and premium shopping atmosphere, reinforcing the mall's brand image.
“Operating on the Clifton coastline presents unique MEP challenges. Their team's technical solution for corrosion protection has proven invaluable, saving us significant maintenance costs and ensuring system longevity. They are experts in delivering durable solutions for demanding environments.”
