Air & Water Balancing and Commissioning Overview

Commissioning & balancing of all building engineering services including supply & extract ventilation, heating, cooling as well as domestic water services. From commercial & office spaces, data centres to residential and clinical areas.
Installation and commissioning surveys are undertaken with the commissioning requirements of the modern heating and air conditioning installation. All tests carried out are in accordance with the Chartered Institute of Building Services, codes A & W.

Our aim is to provide a professional commissioning service while maintaining high personal communication at all levels with those involved in the contract works.

Installation and commissioning surveys are undertaken with the commissioning requirements of the modern heating and air conditioning installation. All tests carried out are in accordance with the Chartered Institute of Building Services, codes A & W.  Documentation is issued upon completion.

It is our policy to inform clients immediately of any discrepancies within the systems being commissioned.  The professional team’s advice is requested with our client’s approval, on design aspects requiring attention and review.

In our opinion, by adopting an open approach to commissioning of mechanical services installations, problems that occur during commissioning can be resolved as an integral part of the contract, thus avoiding the all to familiar situation of systems being unacceptable at the contract completion stage, and thereby offering the occupying client a reliable and trouble free mechanical services installation.

Commissioning Services

All major building and refurbishment projects will require their services to be commissioned in accordance with these codes.

The mechanical services installed within these projects are specialist designed to suit their particular requirments.  Typically the services you would expect to find are:-

        –    LTHW
        –    Chilled Water
        –    Condenser Water
        –    Supply & Extract Ventilation
        –    Domestic Services

These main headings can also then be sub divided into more detailed heating/ventilation and air conditioning systems.  See table below.

The lists above and the table below are only an overview and is to highlight the most commonly used and commissioned systems.

These systems are found in buildings such as:-

        –    Offices
        –    Hotels
