MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Engineering. These three fields include the systems that make building environment fit for us. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing in MEP Consulting Engineering is discussed together due to the high degree of interaction among them and to reduce the clash- a general problem when electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are created in separately.
MEP Outsourcing Services bring many advantages to construction companies: reduced installation costs by optimizing material requirements, obtaining high performance and code compliance.
Let us understand all the three technical disciplines of MEP Engineering.
M: Mechanical Engineering
Different types of mechanical systems are used in residential and commercial buildings. However, the main three types of Mechanical design works are:
- Space Heating
- Air Conditioning
- Mechanical Ventilation
All the systems keep the temperature and humidity under control and give comfort and health. Mechanical ventilator ensures that fresh air is regularly supplied in the building to keep the air pollutant at safe levels.

Along with fixing HAVC equipment correctly, MEP HAVC Shop Drawings also include setting the best routes for heat distribution systems: air ducts, hydronic piping or steam piping, whichever applies for the project.
E: Electrical Engineering
E: Electrical Engineering
In the high rise and huge buildings, the most challenging part of the electrical design is defining the optimal routes for cables and wiring. Since electrical wiring requires less space and can be routed easily, it is more flexible than mechanical systems. With the help of MEP Shop Drawings, wiring can be laid out while minimizing total circuit lengths, bypassing clashes and interferences. HAVC requires close collaboration between mechanical and electrical technicians during the MEP HAVC Shop Drawing process. Mechanical engineers determine heating and cooling loads while electrical engineers create the electrical circuit that allows these devices to run safely.
P: Plumbing Engineering
Plumbing installations also require numerous technical specifications. Like mechanical and electrical connections, plumbing needs laying out complicated piping routes, and MEP Shop Drawings are extensively used by construction companies to simplify the process.

Plumbing installations cooperate with both mechanical and electrical systems at many points, such as:
- In High-rise buildings water booster pumps are required to run electricity.
- The hot water supply systems get their heat either from a boiler or from an electric heater.
Now let us see the fields where high quality of MEP engineering can influence the construction or renovation project:
- Energy Saving: MEP engineers can improve designs and can implement a number of energy management methods in order to reduce energy usage.
- Building Automation: From lighting, security, fire alarms, to building’s HVAC systems, effective MEP Engineering services can build a centralized automated system for every need.
- Water Conservation: Mechanical and plumbing system plans can reduce the quantity of water your building uses, and in turn, lower your water bill.
- Indoor Environmental Quality: The MEP engineers can improve the Indoor environmental of the building by maximizing the use of sunlight, optimizing HVAC systems for ventilation and moisture control to eliminate odours and airborne pathogens.
