(M.E.P.) Design

(M.E.P.) Design

At Sugilite & Associates, we understand that a well-designed hospital requires more than just a strong structure—it needs intricate and reliable mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (M.E.P.) systems. Our M.E.P. design services are tailored to meet the specific demands of healthcare facilities, where efficiency, reliability, and patient safety are paramount. From electrical infrastructure to fire protection, our comprehensive M.E.P. solutions cover all essential systems, ensuring smooth operation and seamless patient care.

Our M.E.P. Design Services

Our M.E.P. design is a holistic approach to the essential systems that keep a healthcare facility running. Each system is meticulously planned and executed to integrate smoothly with the overall architecture, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and safety. Here’s a look at what we cover:

Electrical Infrastructure

Power reliability is critical in healthcare environments, where lives depend on uninterrupted service. Our electrical designs include robust power distribution systems, backup generators, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure continuous operation in critical areas. We account for load requirements, energy efficiency, and safety standards to deliver a resilient electrical system.

Plumbing Systems

From patient rooms to operating theaters, every part of a healthcare facility has specific water, waste, and sanitation needs. Our plumbing designs focus on delivering clean water, safe waste disposal, and sanitation systems that meet healthcare regulations. We also ensure proper water pressure and temperature control in critical areas such as sterilization zones.

HVAC Systems

A well-designed HVAC system is essential for maintaining air quality, temperature control, and infection control in medical facilities. We design HVAC systems with zone-specific controls, precise air filtration, and humidity regulation to create a comfortable and safe environment for patients, staff, and visitors.

Vertical Transportation Systems

Hospitals require efficient movement across multiple floors, especially in emergencies. We design and coordinate the installation of elevators and escalators optimized for the flow of patients, medical staff, and equipment, ensuring swift and safe transportation throughout the facility.

Fire Protection Systems

Safety is at the core of our M.E.P. design. Our fire protection systems include fire alarms, sprinklers, smoke control, and evacuation planning, all designed to meet stringent safety codes and regulations. We ensure that our designs are compliant with healthcare-specific fire safety standards, protecting patients, staff, and visitors.

Data and Voice Networking

Reliable communication is vital for healthcare facilities. Our data and voice networking design ensures secure, high-speed connectivity for patient record systems, telemedicine, staff communication, and more. This network infrastructure is designed to support the hospital’s operational needs with the highest level of security and efficiency.

Building Management Systems (BMS)

A Building Management System allows for centralized monitoring and control of the facility’s critical systems. Our BMS design integrates HVAC, lighting, security, and other key systems, enabling efficient energy use, quick identification of faults, and overall improved operational management.

Low Voltage Systems

We design low voltage systems, including nurse call systems, CCTV, access control, and patient monitoring, to enhance patient care and security. These systems are essential in healthcare settings to ensure immediate responses and to support patient safety and security.

Specialized Designs for Critical Medical Areas

Healthcare facilities have unique requirements in critical areas such as operating rooms, intensive care units, and diagnostic zones. Our M.E.P. designs account for these specialized needs, creating systems that support stringent requirements for cleanliness, infection control, and reliability.
