Mechanical, HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection Engineering Kimball’s expertise also includes plumbing systems, fire protection (NFPA design), medical gas systems, energy conservation measures, LPG and fuel oil storage, existing system retrofit, and regulatory approvals. Maximizing your system’s efficiency and reducing operating costs by integrating “green” design concepts, as prescribed by the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System of the U.S. Green Building Council, are the goals of our designs. Electrical Engineering Our structural engineering services are provided for various types of facilities, including correctional, K-12, life safety, commercial, sports, and higher education, for both new construction and renovations/additions to existing buildings. Our experience also includes structural assessments of existing facilities, design of site retaining walls, and design of underground tanks used in water and wastewater treatment.
Kimball’s mechanical/HVAC expertise includes air conditioning systems, heating systems, building and industrial ventilation, energy conservation (recovery and renewable), automated control systems (electric, pneumatic, and direct digital), boiler replacements, building energy analysis, system retrofit, fuel and energy studies, energy audit studies, HVAC systems comparison, and regulatory approvals.
Kimball’s electrical engineering expertise includes electrical systems (primary/secondary), exterior lighting, intercom systems, fire alarm systems, life safety systems, emergency power systems, CCTV systems, energy conservation measures, distribution networks, and existing system analyses.
Structural Engineering
Kimball’s structural engineering expertise includes the design of building framing systems comprised of materials such as steel, concrete, masonry, and wood supported by both shallow and deep (i.e., drilled piers, pile caps over piles, etc.) concrete foundations systems, to safely resist applied design loads (i.e., dead, live, snow, wind and seismic loading).
