VoiceLink | Issue 71 | MiMEP Greatly Facilitates Installation of Large Equipment
2024-07-30
The EMSD adopted the Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP) approach to replace the air handling unit (AHU) in our Headquarters for the first time, greatly improving the works efficiency. The MiMEP method enables “off-site prefabrication and on-site assembly”, where electrical and mechanical (E&M) components are pre-manufactured in a factory and then transported to the Headquarters for assembly, thus streamlining the on-site installation process. The works period was much shortened from the original nine days to three days, resulting in significant time saving.
