Commissioning (Cx)
“I have particularly appreciated their flexibility to respond to critical issues immediately with an intensity to drive the issue to resolution. MENG has provided a much greater level of service than other commissioning agents with whom we have worked.”
Jeffrey L. Greene, AIA, Greene Gasaway Architects
Commissioning services provide documentation to serve as a building systems performance benchmark. This is useful not only to ensure specifications are being met from the first time systems are placed into operation, but also for post occupancy evaluation or assessment of systems operation. We provide independent quality control specialists to officially document the pre-function testing, start-up and functional performance testing for operations of building systems prior to building occupation.
MENG Analysis' Cx Approach
The approach to our commissioning services build upon a strong adherence to working on projects in a multi-disciplinary teams. Our services are most successful with involvement prior to bid and developing a comprehensive commissioning specification. Our typical teams consist of senior level expertise in mechanical, electrical, plumbing and general building systems.
