CAPCo Engineering recently carried out the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) design for a retrofit project in McKinney, TX. The project involved the redesign of an existing building to accommodate a 648 square foot coffee shop for TexaKona Coffee. With expertise in MEP design, CAPCo Engineering ensured that the electrical and plumbing configurations aligned perfectly with the new layout.
In terms of electrical requirements, CAPCo Engineering conducted meticulous load calculations to determine the appropriate service sizing. They also developed electrical panelboard schedules and a riser diagram, which provided clear documentation of the electrical system. To provide a comprehensive overview, the team created electrical plans, complete with construction details, and specifications were included on the drawings.
Additionally, CAPCo Engineering carried out plumbing load calculations to determine the necessary specifications for the project. They thoroughly selected plumbing fixtures and created schedules to ensure efficient water usage and drainage in the coffee shop. Plumbing plans that outlined construction details were developed, along with specifications on the drawings.
To ensure a smooth design process, CAPCo Engineering provided a preliminary design Check Set for review and approval. Moreover, they coordinated their drawings with other involved trades to guarantee synergy between various aspects of the project.
Lastly, CAPCo Engineering performed COMCheck calculations for energy code compliance, ensuring that the coffee shop met all necessary energy efficiency standards.
In summary, CAPCo Engineering’s expertise in MEP design served as the foundation for a successful retrofit project in McKinney, TX. By accurately calculating electrical and plumbing requirements, developing detailed plans and specifications, and coordinating with other trades, CAPCo Engineering played a crucial role in transforming the existing building into a functional and efficient coffee shop for TexaKona Coffee.
