Infrastructure & MEPS Commissioning | Henegan Construction Co. Inc.

Heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical, life safety, and voice, data, and wireless communications systems are essential to any facility, workplace, or building. Henegan provides every client with the benefit of its dedicated engineering professionals, who are experienced with the technological and operational requirements and procedures that go into building and commissioning complex electrical, mechanical, and high-tech building infrastructures.

Preconstruction Phase

Henegan’s MEPS department engineers perform similar preconstruction functions as our project managers and estimators perform for the architectural trades, organizing testing and due diligence studies, scrutinizing drawings from progress prints through all bulletins, and acting as liaison between the design engineers and MEPS trade contractors. During the bid process, their input ensures that the scope, design intent, and field conditions are captured in the competitive pricing environment, avoiding later change orders.

Construction Phase

Depending on the complexity of the scope of work, our MEPS Department can study, establish, and communicate detailed shutdown procedures, work implementation schedules, commissioning methods of procedure, and tenant impact reports. To ensure uninterrupted business operations, Henegan will develop complex contingency plans for projects that affect critical systems. As many new technology and infrastructure installations integrate with existing building systems and devices, there is an element of risk that a component may fail. The best protection that can be offered is a well-thought-out contingency plan that gives multiple fall-back scenarios enabling business to begin every Monday morning without a hitch. During high-exposure commissioning, shutdowns, and critical installations, a member of our MEPS team will become the lead Henegan representative, as their knowledge and experience provide the best guidance when navigating the most challenging endeavors.

Project Close-out

The MEPS staff become an integral part of the inspection and sign-off process. Their involvement fosters an expeditious and comprehensive project close-out. As the project nears completion, the MEPS department ensures the timely and accurate delivery of the close-out packages and spare parts as well as mandating that the necessary signoffs, commissioning, and facility training are completed.

MEPS/IT Integration

The involvement of our highly experienced MEPS department will ensure seamless integration of the tenant fit-out systems with the base building infrastructure by establishing a clear understanding of the systems, a well-defined delineation of deliverables and responsibilities, and a critical path schedule. This information is disseminated to our subcontractors through a detailed bid and award process. During construction, the MEPS department shifts its focus to a monitoring and reporting role to ensure full compliance with contract documents and schedule adherence.
