MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. These are the three aspects linked to every building project that includes design, and construction and deals with the setup, functioning, and maintenance of the three major elements of a building project. MEP Engineering is an integral part of a building project.
Mechanical, Electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design are important for planning, decision making, accurate documentation, performance- and cost-estimation, construction, and operating/maintaining the resulting facilities.
WHAT IS MEP IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT?
MEP is the acronym for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing work in building construction. When we look at MEP participation in a project, a major work, which is HVAC controlled by Mechanical and secondly goes by Electrical. MEP construction must require to all types of commercial, residential and industrial purpose where services and facilities required. MEP consists of installing air conditioning systems, water supply & drainage systems, fire fighting systems, electrical power and lighting systems including transformer substations and emergency power generators, fire protection and alarm systems, voice & data systems, security access and surveillance systems, UPS, public address systems, Mast antenna TV system, and building management systems.
Architectural and Civil construction give shape, structure and aesthetics to a building but MEP or Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing bring facilities for life providing services. Hence MEP, now known as "Building Services and Facilities".
M-Mechanical Works In Mep For A Building Project
Various types of mechanical systems are used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. However, three types account for most of the mechanical design work in multifamily and commercial constructions:
- Space heating
- Air conditioning
- Mechanical ventilation
E- Electrical Works In MEP For A Building Project
In high-rise constructions, one of the main challenges in electrical design is defining the optimal routes for conduit and wiring. However, there tends to be more flexible than in mechanical systems, since electrical circuits require much less space and can be routed around obstacles more easily.
