OUR VALUES

INTRODUCTION TO MECSERVE

Mecserve has more than 45 years' experience in providing the highest standard of engineering

design consultancy for the built environment.

APPROACH

The Mecserve team prides itself on its ability to work with a range of project stakeholders, to design

to programme and cost and to implement creative and innovative solutions applying appropriate

technologies to solve complex problems.

Above all, we strive to meet with our clients' objectives every step of the way.

Mecserve staff bring practical knowledge and experience from a diverse range of industry sectors

and across disciplines, enhancing our ability to provide the most effective solutions.

EXPERIENCE

Mecserve has played a key role on many varied projects, managing building services, engineering

and design. We have worked for our clients over a number of years on frameworks, to deliver

projects across the UK. We are responsive to today's changing environment and continually advise

our clients on new products, services and innovations.

We've worked on a multitude of award winning projects. Not only that, the three times we've entered

The Building Awards, we're proud to say that we've been finalists for the Construction Consultant of the

Year award each and every time. �

PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy is to design reliable engineering services for buildings which ensure the comfort,

health and well-being of their occupants. We aim to produce buildings that function well, in addition

to achieving energy efficiency with minimal environmental impact.

From single dwelling projects, all the way up to £125m construction projects - every development

has the same care and attention it deserves, no matter the size.

RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION

We take the time to understand our client's specific business requirements in order to develop the

services design brief that most suits their needs. We meet our clients and other key stakeholders at

the start of the project and then on as many other occasions as is required throughout the project's

duration in order to ensure that our client's vision is on-track.

We listen to our clients, are responsive to changes, and deliver on our promises, with an emphasis

on time-management, cost and quality.

Mecserve understands that clients frequently require buildings to be delivered 'fast-track', which

often requires complex sequencing and out-of-hours working in occupied buildings – and our team

possess the coordination and communication skills to deliver these challenging projects.

Building constructive relationships with contractors and sub-contractors is critical to the success of

what we do, and we always work closely with contractors to ensure a high-quality product. For

example, by encouraging them to erect an early sample of work which sets a benchmark quality

standard we have found that we are able to avoid delays as a consequence of abortive work.

It is important to us that we deliver the design intent that we have promised our client and recognise

the importance of commissioning and the validation process to ensure that the completed

installation meets requirements.

We believe that those who work with us find us to be engaged, open and approachable, to the

benefit of everyone involved in the projects we deliver.

CAPABILITY & EXPERIENCE

Healthcare is undergoing huge change,

driven by the introduction of new

technologies at ever-increasing pace and

the more demanding expectations of

today's users.

Mecserve has the experience to deliver

projects for today's Healthcare market and can

demonstrate this through our experience of

delivering both new-build facilities and

refurbishing existing buildings with their

inherent challenges.

We have worked on term commissions for two

different providers providing a fully designed

3D Revit service for their programmes of new-

build aged care homes. We have acted as

principal M&E consultant and advisor, been

responsible for M&E product development to

bring new ideas and cost efficiencies to both

existing and future schemes as well as

providing pre-planning advice.

Our innovative solutions can be found in the

unlikeliest of places. We have installed multiple

state-of-the-art scanning units (including

Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI], EOS

Imaging Systems upright linear CT scanner and

Paramed MrOpen) in historical buildings, a

number of which were listed or in conservation

areas. We have altered existing services in

complicated configurations in tight spaces to

accommodate the substantial power,

ventilation and cooling requirements for the

equipment. Great care has also been taken to

minimise acoustic disturbance and to meet

stringent planning restrictions affecting

external plant.

Our teams of Building Services Engineers work

with clients, architects and contractors in the

development of innovative, sustainable and

cost-effective Healthcare and Senior Living

communities and services. Our teams can

harness the appropriate resources to meet the

varying needs of our clients and their projects.

Our sustainability and environmental

professionals have the skills, experience and

commitment to realise the sustainable building

and property aspirations of our clients.

The appropriateness of each solution is key to

the successful outcome of our projects. We aim

to ensure that the design meets objectives in

terms of resilience, flexibility, life cycle costs,

efficiency and the environmental and

sustainable impact.

Nuada, 45 Queen Anne Street, London Healthcare – Fit-Out

Mecserve was contracted to design and develop the fit-out of the lower ground & ground floor of the Nuada Medical Specialist Imaging premises on Queen Anne Street, in London.

Existing Building Services were altered and new services installed to accommodate the installation of an MRI scanner. This included the associated roof mounted plant, quench pipe, cooling, ventilation, heating and domestic water supplies.

Finally, the existing LV supply was boosted by the installation of a UPS so as to avoid the need for a UKPN HV supply/sub-station within the building.

Signature – Ascot Grange, Sunninghill Multi-Residential – New Build Care Facility

Mecserve provided the design of the building services, lifts and sustainability for the new Signature senior care home at Sunninghill which completed in 2017 and provides more than 65,500 ft2 of accommodation.

Following completion of the detailed design, Mecserve were novated to Wates construction, and our value engineering skills were required to bring the project within budget. The proximity of other properties bordering the site also posed some challenges during construction.

Energy efficient measures included CHP and VRV air source heat pumps, and the scheme is targeting a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating. There is underfloor heating throughout.

This was our first project for this client and our challenge was to understand their expectations and the design principles.

We developed good working relationship with the client and the rest of the design team.

We brought value by utilising our experience of working in this sector and experience working with the design team on other projects.

European Scanning Centre, 68 Harley Street Healthcare – Refurbishment and Excavation

Mecserve was appointed to design the services associated with the installation of an EOS Imaging Systems upright linear CT scanner and a Paramed MrOpen upright open MRI scanner at the European Scanning Centre in Harley Street.

The MrOpen is a novel U-shaped fully open and upright MRI scanner using superconductor technology derived from the CERN project. This unique Nobel-Prize winning technology, avoids the need for liquid helium cooling making the scanner much safer, faster and quieter. Its fully open nature allows dynamic and weight bearing images to be acquired in an upright and thus weight bearing posture replicating the position of maximum symptoms. Such images are not possible to obtain in conventional MRIs.

This world class facility was constructed in the basement of this historic, 1920s building within one of Westminster's prime conservation areas. The work entailed excavating below the building, diverting the existing drainage to accommodate the MrOpen equipment. The cooling plant for the facility was housed in a purpose built acoustic enclosure with a low noise condenser located in a light well to the rear of the building.

We have subsequently completed several other facilities for European Scanning Centre, including Cardiff and Manchester.
