MAP Design
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical design for infrastructure and energy assets — plant, piping and HVAC, and the systems that keep an asset operating inside its design envelope.
The capability
Mechanical systems are judged twice: once at commissioning, and every day of operation after it. Decisions made early in design set the maintenance burden for the life of the asset.
Across UK infrastructure and energy assets, our engineers have designed pumping and pipework systems, HVAC for plant rooms, control rooms and switchrooms, cooling for heat-dense equipment, and the plant selection decisions that sit behind all of it. Design follows recognised British and European standards and manufacturers' verified performance data — not catalogue optimism.
The discipline earns its keep at the interfaces. Duty and standby philosophy, maintenance access, plant replacement routes and the routing of services through congested spaces are resolved in the model, with the other disciplines, before they become site problems. That is where mechanical design either supports the programme or quietly undermines it.
How MAP delivers it
Mechanical scope runs from a single system design to the full mechanical package.
Plant and equipment engineering
Specification, selection and integration of mechanical plant, with duty definitions and datasheets written for procurement rather than left open to interpretation.
Piping and pipework systems
Hydraulic design, routing, stress considerations and support arrangements for process and utility pipework across the site.
HVAC and cooling
Ventilation, heating and cooling design for plant rooms, switchrooms and operational buildings, sized against genuine heat loads and ambient conditions.
Operability and maintenance
Access, lifting provisions, replacement strategies and maintenance regimes considered at design stage, while they still cost only lines on a drawing.
