MEPEngineering Services
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems are the backbone of every building. At HSA Engineering, we approach MEP design with one goal in mind: to create systems that are efficient, coordinated, and dependable from the first day of operation through the life of the facility.
Since 1995, we’ve partnered with architects, contractors, and facility owners to provide fully integrated MEP services for new construction, renovations, and system upgrades across healthcare, education, athletic, religious, commercial, municipal, and industrial facilities. Our process emphasizes collaboration, constructability, and cost control to ensure that each system performs as intended—without costly redesigns or change orders in the field.
Mechanical Engineering
Our mechanical designs focus on occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term maintainability. We analyze load requirements, climate conditions, and system integration to ensure HVAC and specialty mechanical systems are right-sized for each project.
Capabilities include:
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system design
- Chilled water and hot water distribution systems
- Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems
- Energy recovery systems
- Indoor air quality and ventilation strategies
- Building automation and control system integration
- Industrial and process-related mechanical systems
Electrical Engineering
Electrical systems must balance safety, performance, and future flexibility. Our electrical team designs systems that meet current code requirements while preparing facilities for evolving technology and energy demands.
Capabilities include:
- Power distribution systems
- Interior and exterior lighting design, including daylighting and energy-efficient solutions
- Emergency and standby power systems
- Fire alarm and life safety systems
- Communication, data, and security system infrastructure
- Arc flash studies and fault current analysis
- Renewable energy integration and metering solutions
Plumbing Engineering
Effective plumbing design extends beyond water supply and drainage—it protects public health, conserves resources, and supports building functionality. Our plumbing engineers deliver systems tailored to both everyday needs and specialized facility requirements.
Capabilities include:
- Domestic water and sanitary waste systems
- Stormwater drainage systems
- Natural gas distribution systems
- Medical gas systems for healthcare environments
- Backflow prevention and water treatment systems
- High-efficiency plumbing fixtures and water conservation strategies
Our Approach
What sets HSA apart is how we integrate all three disciplines into a coordinated process. From the very beginning, our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing teams collaborate during schematic design to identify and resolve potential conflicts before construction begins. Every design is developed in strict accordance with national, state, and local codes, as well as project-specific standards such as NFPA, NEC, and ASHRAE. We emphasize constructability by delivering solutions that work seamlessly in the field, which minimizes RFIs and reduces costly delays. Budget alignment is also central to our approach, with value engineering built into the process to ensure systems meet performance requirements while staying within financial targets. To support accuracy and coordination, our team leverages industry-standard design platforms like AutoCAD and Revit to produce precise, reliable construction documents.
We're here to answer all your questions
The earlier, the better. Bringing MEP engineers in during schematic design helps identify potential conflicts, clarify load requirements, and align system choices with the project budget. Early involvement reduces redesigns and saves both time and money later in the project.
No. In addition to new facilities, we regularly provide design and consulting services for renovations, retrofits, and system upgrades. We also work directly with facility owners to troubleshoot and resolve issues in existing buildings.
Our experience covers a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, education, athletics, religious, commercial, municipal, and industrial projects. Each brings its own challenges, and our team is equipped to adapt our designs to meet those needs.
Yes. Our team uses platforms like Revit and AutoCAD to coordinate disciplines and generate accurate construction documents. This reduces conflicts, improves efficiency, and streamlines collaboration with architects and contractors.
Yes. Efficiency and sustainability are integrated into our process, whether it’s through energy recovery systems, LED lighting layouts, water conservation strategies, or LEED-accredited design expertise. Our goal is always to create systems that save energy, conserve resources, and perform reliably long term.
Yes. We stay engaged during bidding, construction, and closeout. Our team reviews submittals, answers RFIs, conducts site visits, and ensures systems are installed according to the design intent.
