MCS provides comprehensive seismic engineering services for mechanical systems, including seismic anchoring design with code-compliant specification language references. We analyze piping flexibility at seismic building joints to optimize system design and potentially reduce v-loop requirements while maintaining code compliance. Our team develops complete seismic restraint layouts delivered as detailed shop drawings in PDF format and fully coordinated REVIT models, ensuring seamless integration with project documentation and facilitating construction coordination across all building disciplines.

MCS provides wind engineering analysis and design services to ensure mechanical systems withstand environmental wind loads. Our services include anchorage design for roof-mounted equipment and their structural supports, as well as qualification of pipe and duct support systems for wind exposure. We also offer guy wire engineering services, designing cable and stanchion systems to provide lateral stability for tall equipment, stacks, and other wind-sensitive components. All designs comply with applicable building codes and industry standards for wind load resistance.

MCS provides comprehensive pipe stress analysis and design services in accordance with specifications 23 05 16 and 23 05 48. For horizontal piping systems, we perform stress analysis to locate and design anchors, guides, and expansion loops, while conducting flexibility checks over building joints to accommodate thermal expansion and structural movement. Our vertical pipe riser design services include strategic placement of anchors, guides, and spring supports, along with detailed design of shaft steel components including clamp and trunnion selections. We also offer future-ready modular riser design solutions to facilitate system modifications and expansions.

MCS provides specialized engineering support for a range of mechanical system components and structural interfaces. Our services include duct riser steel qualification and custom equipment support design for frames and skids. We offer delegated design services for pipe supports and trapeze assemblies per specification 23 05 29, as well as guy wire engineering for cable and stanchion systems. Additionally, we perform point load calculations to support structural coordination and ensure proper load transfer throughout the mechanical system infrastructure.

MCS provides comprehensive REVIT modeling and coordination services to support mechanical system design and documentation. Our team develops detailed family (.rfa) models for the majority of our product offerings, ensuring accurate representation and clash detection during the design phase. We offer custom drafting services to create product family libraries tailored to specific project requirements.

Our REVIT capabilities include complete pipe isolation layouts with spring hanger placement and modeling, as well as seismic restraint layouts integrated directly into the building model. We add support frames and supplemental steel elements to coordinate with architectural and structural systems, and incorporate point load data for structural coordination and analysis. Additionally, we model pipe riser support systems and framing to provide complete vertical piping coordination, enabling seamless integration with other building disciplines and reducing field conflicts during construction.
