USE CASES & APPLICATIONS

Custom equipment design services support industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and institutional projects throughout Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and BC. We design equipment packages for HVAC systems, process applications, utility systems, and building services. Our services are essential when standard equipment doesn't meet project requirements or when integrated equipment packages are needed.

We support projects requiring custom pump skids, pressure vessel and boiler design support, heat exchangers, and other mechanical equipment. Our design services serve manufacturing facilities, power plants, commercial buildings, and institutional facilities. Each project requires careful consideration of performance requirements, space constraints, and integration with existing systems, with coordination between design engineers, fabricators, and third-party reviewers as needed.

PROCESS & WORKFLOW

We begin by understanding performance requirements, operating conditions, and integration needs. We perform equipment sizing calculations to determine appropriate capacities and specifications. We develop equipment selection matrices that compare options based on performance, cost, and lifecycle considerations.

We create detailed fabrication-support drawings for custom equipment packages, including pump skids, equipment supports, and integrated systems. Our drawings are prepared in coordination with fabricators and provide fabrication shops with information needed to build equipment efficiently. We develop specifications that enable accurate procurement and are designed to meet applicable performance and code requirements.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS & COMPLIANCE

Our custom equipment designs are developed in accordance with applicable ASME codes for pressure vessels and boilers, CSA standards for Canadian projects, and applicable safety codes. Our designs are reviewed for compliance with applicable codes and are designed to meet performance requirements and client specifications. Our designs account for operational requirements, maintenance needs, and integration with building systems, with coordination with fabricators and third-party reviewers as required for registered equipment.
