We know MEP
We’ve been designing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems since Day 1. Whether you’re constructing a new building or replacing a single system, our team has the experience and know-how to walk with you every step of the way.
Engineering, elevated
We solve clients’ most pressing engineering challenges. Our designs help them save money with energy-efficient systems and improve their environmental impact through sustainable solutions. We help them achieve system reliability to keep their operations in motion. We design environments that promote people’s comfort during their daily activities and their safety during an emergency.
Our team is laser-focused on the technical nuances, while keeping our eye on the purpose of the project. Because from our perspective, next-level engineering is about more than just systems and equipment. It’s about integrating form and function to amplify the architectural impact. It’s about crafting designs that serve both the building and the people within.
Karpinski Engineering consistently ranks as one of Consulting-Specifying Engineer’s MEP Giants.
Smart solutions for MEP infrastructure
MEP infrastructure is a high-impact investment. We help you make the most of it.
The decisions that organizations make for their central systems can affect their building and campus operations for decades. These long-term decisions call for long-term thinking. We work with you through the process, helping you identify what you need for today and what you can anticipate for the future. Then, we recommend solutions for the functionality, efficiency, and resilience your building or campus needs.
Move the needle on infrastructure upgrades
With limited operating budgets and long lists of deferred maintenance needs, we understand that facilities staff can feel perpetually behind. We can help you sort through your systems and develop a clear path forward. We’ll assess your existing MEP infrastructure, ranking areas of risk and identifying priorities so you know where to focus your attention and funding. Then we can help you plan and design improvements in a way that doesn’t just replace an asset, but upgrades a system.
Reduce the Risk of an Arc Flash Injury
Arc flashes can injure and kill. Protect workers and electrical equipment with a power distribution study.
Power distribution studies give building owners vital information about the strengths and weaknesses of their building’s electrical systems. Plus, they help building owners achieve compliance with NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.
When Karpinski conducts a power distribution study, we use leading power system analysis software to review a facility’s electrical systems. Our study consists of up to three parts (an arc flash study, short circuit study, and electrical system coordination study), depending on the facility’s needs. We analyze the electrical system data, report the results, and provide recommendations for improving equipment safety. With an arc flash study, we also provide NFPA 70E- and OSHA-compliant arc flash warning labels for each piece of electrical equipment modeled in the study.
Armed with this information, building owners can create a safer environment for workers and protect their electrical equipment from damage.
