Mechanical engineering forms the backbone of modern infrastructure. At Allon Consulting, our mechanical engineers combine deep technical knowledge with practical field experience to design, specify, and oversee systems that ensure occupant comfort, process efficiency, and life‑safety. We work across commercial, industrial, municipal, and institutional sectors, delivering solutions that are energy‑efficient, code‑compliant, and built to last.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Systems
We design complete HVAC solutions tailored to building type, occupancy, and climate. Our services include:
- Load calculations using ASHRAE standards to determine heating and cooling requirements.
- Equipment selection – chillers, boilers, air handling units, rooftop units, VRF systems, and heat pumps.
- Ductwork design – layout, sizing, and material selection to minimize pressure loss and noise.
- Controls and building automation – integration with BMS for optimal energy management.
- Indoor air quality – filtration, humidity control, and ventilation strategies to meet health standards.
Plumbing and Water Supply Systems
Reliable plumbing systems are essential for sanitation and functionality. We design:
- Domestic water systems – cold and hot water distribution, pump sizing, and storage tanks.
- Sanitary drainage and venting – waste pipe routing, stack design, and connection to municipal sewers or on‑site treatment.
- Storm drainage – roof drains, piping networks, and discharge to stormwater systems.
- Gas piping – natural gas or propane distribution for heating equipment, kitchens, and generators.
- Water conservation – low‑flow fixtures, greywater recycling, and rainwater harvesting integration.
Fire Protection Systems
Safety is paramount. Our fire protection engineers design systems that meet NFPA and local building codes:
- Sprinkler systems – wet, dry, pre‑action, and deluge systems for various hazard classifications.
- Standpipe systems – class I, II, or III for firefighter use.
- Fire pumps – sizing, selection, and integration with water supply.
- Fire alarm and detection – coordination with electrical engineers for smoke detectors, pull stations, and notification devices.
- Special hazard systems – clean agent systems for server rooms, foam systems for fuel storage, and kitchen hood suppression.
Mechanical Equipment and Industrial Systems
For industrial clients, we design custom mechanical systems:
- Process piping – for water, steam, chemicals, and compressed air.
- Pump stations – sewage lift stations, water booster stations, and industrial pumping systems.
- Material handling – conveyors, hoists, and overhead cranes.
- Equipment foundations and supports – vibration isolation and structural integration.
- Energy recovery systems – heat exchangers, economizers, and cogeneration.
Commissioning and Retro‑commissioning
We ensure systems perform as intended through:
- Design review – verifying specifications and constructability.
- Construction observation – witnessing installation and testing.
- Functional testing – balancing, controls verification, and performance measurement.
- Retro‑commissioning – optimizing existing systems for energy savings and reliability.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
Our mechanical designs incorporate green building principles:
- High‑efficiency equipment – ENERGY STAR® rated and beyond.
- Demand‑controlled ventilation – CO₂ sensors to adjust fresh air rates.
- Heat recovery – from exhaust air, condensers, or process waste.
- Geothermal systems – ground‑source heat pumps for low‑carbon heating and cooling.
Typical Projects
- HVAC upgrade for a 50,000 sq. ft. municipal building, achieving 30% energy savings.
- Plumbing and fire protection design for a 10‑story residential tower.
- Compressed air system for a manufacturing plant, improving production efficiency.
- Retro‑commissioning of a hospital’s mechanical systems, reducing utility costs by $120,000 annually.
Our mechanical engineers work closely with architects, structural engineers, and contractors to deliver integrated solutions that are safe, reliable, and cost‑effective. From initial concept through commissioning, we ensure every mechanical component contributes to the overall success of your project.
