Expert Mechanical Contracting Services in NJ

Introduction to Mechanical Contracting at Unitemp

Mechanical engineering encompasses designing, fabricating, installing, maintaining, and servicing HVAC systems in industrial and commercial buildings. Mechanical systems, when maintained properly, should operate for 15-20 years.

When you choose Unitemp to design and build your building mechanical system, we will deliver:

  • Planning, pre-construction and construction services.
  • In-house design, engineering, and drafting documents.
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM) documents.
  • Steam fitting and pipe fitting to any specification.
  • Orbital welding and specialty process piping.
  • Ductwork layout and installation.

Our mechanical contractors will repair or replace failing components as the system ages and find solutions to moderate operating costs while maintaining indoor air quality. With older buildings and aging equipment, contractors may be required to retrofit the entire HVAC equipment.

HVAC Equipment Outside the Building - Mechanical Contracting

In this instance engineers will perform a comprehensive analysis of the building’s air flow and design a plan for installing new equipment that is sized and installed to provide the heating, cooling, and humidity levels your business requires. Mechanical systems are a significant part of the annual budget for most businesses.

Using a licensed mechanical contractor, like Unitemp, is very important for keeping your business operating properly and avoiding unnecessary equipment failure.

Custom Solutions for Unique Needs

Custom to Industry Requirements for Industrial and Commercial Buildings

Every industrial and commercial building is unique, and as a result, mechanical systems should be designed to conform to the facility’s footprint. Under-sized equipment will have to work harder to heat and cool a building. Ducting and ventilation should be designed to reach every space within the facility and provide the proper air quality necessary for each unique space. Air handling equipment should be compatible with all of the other system components.

When the HVAC installation is completed, engineers will ensure the system is synced to perform within your location’s local, state, and federal regulations and provide a customized maintenance program to keep your indoor air quality exactly where you need it.

In-House Team of Engineers

Most large buildings have a facility manager and perhaps staff to keep everything running. Mechanical systems require the expertise of plumbers and electricians. Our electrical engineers will sync system components to review building analytics, and environmental engineers will measure indoor airflow and humidity.

To extend the life of your HVAC equipment, maintain indoor air quality at the proper level for the products you deliver to your customers, and make sure you don’t experience equipment failure, our licensed Mechanical contractors will be a part of your team.

Services and Capabilities

1. Comprehensive HVAC Services

Unitemp provides a menu of services to meet all of your HVAC needs. We have a team of certified technicians to service and maintain your equipment at optimal levels. We have new installation and retrofit capabilities to upgrade the entire building.

2. Equipment Replacement and Analysis

When equipment needs to be replaced, we will analyze the entire facility’s air flow. This will allow us to determine the size and components required for every location within your building.

3. Custom Design and BIM Integration

A custom design will be developed including mechanical system component locations, ductwork, and ventilation layouts. For all retrofit projects, we employ building information modeling (BIM).

4. Pre-Construction and Component Fabrication

After preliminary designs have been completed, the BIM files will present a clear overlay of exactly what the new HVAC system will look like when completed. Once the plans are approved, we will pre-construct many of the necessary components for your new system at our facility including pipe fabrication and ductwork.

This will streamline the pre-construction process and help reduce installation time, labor, and material waste.

5. Installation and Performance Testing

When construction begins, our installation team will step in and install your new HVAC equipment. This will include setting each component to prescribed operating levels, testing performance levels, including airflow and humidity levels throughout the facility, and training facility managers on key performance issues that should be monitored regularly.

6. Building Automation and Analytics

If we have added a Building Automation System and Building Analytics System, our engineers will review how these two applications link and the information they will provide for conserving energy.

7. Ongoing Maintenance and Longevity

Finally, we will leave a schedule for our maintenance team to perform routine maintenance and service on your system. Installing a new mechanical system is a major capital expense. Statistics show that businesses who perform regular maintenance as prescribed by the OEM will have fewer instances of equipment failure and will add years to the life of the equipment.

Industry-Specific Solutions

Unitemp focuses on providing full service solutions for industrial and commercial Mechanical Systems. We recognize that our customers are engaged in serving many industries, and our team is composed of engineers, technicians, and support staff with the experience to customize our services to these industries.

Pharma

For Pharma facilities, the mechanical system must be designed to strictly control temperature, humidity and dew point to protect sensitive processes and equipment. The right climate control decisions will help prevent contamination and cross-contamination and allow for the facility to deliver a safe product. Critical analysis must be done to measure air change rates, room pressure, air terminals’ location, and outside air control to retrofit a Pharma facility.

Air filtration is very important for maintaining a clean production environment. Building Automation Software can also provide operating efficiency for Pharma facilities. This solution can automate lighting systems, heating, cooling, and ventilation based upon occupancy, conserving costs and environmental issues.

Office Buildings

Generating hot and cold water in multi-story buildings is a challenge because heat and refrigeration require a source for water. Ventilation systems are a challenge because they need to meet the comfort levels for tenants and provide air circulation and humidity. The HVAC equipment selected must be scalable to provide for occupancy growth. Managing many individual spaces requires adding a building automation system (BAS) to provide real-time data and analytics to manage individual spaces.

The BAS will also allow 24/7 offsite monitoring and alert the control center of potential equipment failures and procedures to quickly resolve service issues. A multi-story office building provides space for multiple clients under a single facility, all with different HVAC requirements.

Data Centers

Data centers are a unique challenge because each one requires a custom solution. Cooling systems must be matched to meet the size of the equipment and building infrastructure. The cooling system is generally larger than required to accommodate humidity, redundancy, and future growth. Equipment must be carefully selected to ensure it syncs with the humidity and room temperature of the facility.

The addition of cooling towers requires finding the right location to secure the towers in any type of weather. Pump systems must also be secured in a safe location. Some facilities have raised floors, which require consistent air pressure. To manage system failure, every data center must follow a standard monitoring process managed from a central location and an offsite facility. HVAC systems for data centers must be built never to fail.

Recreational Facilities

Sports arenas host a number of events, sometimes switching quickly from hockey to basketball to musical events. Each event change has different HVAC requirements, which means the equipment selected must be oversized. High efficiency gas heaters are necessary for large arenas and hockey venues. Infrared heating systems are sometimes used for indoor soccer, tennis, and track venues.

Hardwood floors in basketball arenas must have strictly maintained humidity levels to prevent the floor from buckling. Outside air must be monitored to prevent carbon monoxide build-up, and dehumidification is very important for indoor ice rinks. HVAC installations for recreational facilities provide a level of comfort for everyone.
