IPD provides comprehensive MEP engineering consulting services encompassing the historical and ongoing renovations of an expansive 80,000 sq. ft. pre-existing industrial facility in Riverside, CA. This multifaceted facility boasts an experienced layout, encompassing critical sectors such as a flower room, clone rooms, vegetative growth chambers, drying/curing compartments, as well as requisite office and production areas. Our significant engagement involved the precise enhancement and simultaneity of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. This strategic intervention aimed to elevate the facility’s operational efficacy and functional coherence across its diverse operational zones.
The strategy of the mechanical team encompasses the utilization of energy-efficient air handling units. These units are specifically engineered to achieve the stringent low sensible heat ratios essential for upholding the prescribed vapor pressure deficits (VPDs) crucial to the client’s objectives. By precisely addressing the thermal dynamics, the design ensures optimal growth conditions within the defined spaces. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also fosters an environment conducive to the desired plant growth stages.
The integration of the Electrical team is a cornerstone of the comprehensive MEP approach. It encompasses a dual-ended switchgear setup, designed with a master connection arrangement. This configuration, bolstered by IPD’s seamless integration with utility services, establishes two dedicated electrical services. An essential feature is the incorporation of provisions for emergency power, facilitated by automated switchover mechanisms. This design caters to uninterrupted operations, underscoring both reliability and preparedness.
In the realm of MEP, precise attention centers on plumbing and control systems. The design intricately manages CO2 with injection and purification methods, while implementing pressure cascade systems and odor reduction measures. This synergy supports the facility’s objectives, and seamless equipment integration into a building management system enhances control precision. This holistic approach underscores operational integrity and adherence to industry standards.
