S3DA Design is providing expert MEP engineering services for a new restaurant development located in the scenic destination of Leavenworth, WA. Our team is focused on delivering high-performance building systems that ensure patron comfort while maintaining the architectural integrity of the space.
S3DA’s Scope:
- Mechanical Engineering: Detailed heat load reports, mechanical floor plans, and roof plans, including rigid ductwork distribution systems secured to the building’s structure.
- Electrical Engineering: Comprehensive lighting and power floor plans, single-line diagrams (SLD), and precise panel schedules tailored for commercial kitchen and dining requirements.
- Plumbing Engineering: Advanced domestic water and sanitary drainage designs, including 2D riser diagrams and natural gas floor plans with isometric riser diagrams.
- Documentation: Full technical specifications, calculations, and schedules required for city approval and construction.
Key Challenges & Solutions: A primary challenge in restaurant design is balancing high-intensity kitchen ventilation with guest comfort. S3DA’s engineers utilized advanced calculations and heat load reporting to design a mechanical system that ensures optimal air quality and temperature control without excessive energy waste. By acting as a single source of responsibility for all MEP disciplines, we eliminated potential clashes between ductwork, gas lines, and electrical conduits before they reached the field.
The Result: The result is a set of permit-ready construction documents that prioritize safety, occupant comfort, and operational efficiency. Our integrated approach ensures the project remains on schedule and within budget, providing the client with a seamless transition from design to construction.
