Plumbing Heating & Chilled Systems
The installation and commissioning of plumbing, heating, and chilled water systems are essential processes in ensuring the efficient operation of building services for residential, commercial, and industrial facilities. These processes involve meticulous planning, precise installation, and thorough testing to ensure the systems function correctly and efficiently.
What we do:
Installation:
- Assess the building’s requirements for heating, cooling, and plumbing.
- Develop a detailed design, including the layout of pipes, fixtures, and equipment such as boilers, chillers, pumps, and valves.
- Choose appropriate materials for pipes (e.g., copper, PEX, steel) and insulation.
- Select efficient and compliant fixtures, valves, pumps, boilers, and chillers.
- Prepare the installation areas by clearing obstructions and ensuring access to necessary utilities.
- Ensure compliance with safety and building regulations.
- Install supply and return piping for heating and chilled water systems, ensuring correct sizing and routing.
- Use proper techniques for joining pipes, such as soldering, brazing, or using mechanical fittings.
- Install drainage and vent pipes for plumbing systems, ensuring proper slope and support.
- Install boilers, water heaters, chillers, and pumps, ensuring they are securely mounted and properly aligned.
- Connect equipment to the piping network, electrical supply, and control systems.
- Insulate pipes to prevent heat loss in heating systems and condensation in chilled water systems.
- Ensure proper insulation of hot water pipes to maintain temperature and energy efficiency.
Commisioning:
- Flush the piping systems to remove debris, dirt, and contaminants.
- Clean heat exchangers, coils, and other components to ensure optimal performance..
- Conduct pressure tests to check for leaks and verify the integrity of the piping system.
- Ensure all connections and joints are secure and leak-free.
- Fill the systems with the appropriate fluids (water, glycol mixtures) and bleed air from the system to prevent airlocks.
- Ensure proper water treatment to prevent corrosion and scaling..
- Start up boilers, chillers, and pumps, gradually bringing them to operating conditions.
- Check for proper operation, including verifying temperatures, pressures, and flow rates.
- Balance the system to ensure even distribution of heating and cooling.
- Calibrate thermostats, controls, and valves for accurate operation
- Test the system under various load conditions to ensure it meets design specifications.
- Verify the efficiency and functionality of all components.
- Ensure the installation complies with local building codes, safety standards, and manufacturer’s guidelines.
- Document compliance and obtain necessary inspections and certifications.
- Conduct a detailed inspection with stakeholders, addressing any issues before final approval.
- Ensure all components are accessible for maintenance and future inspections.
- Train building maintenance staff on the operation and maintenance of the systems.
- Provide comprehensive documentation, including system schematics, operation manuals, and maintenance schedules.
