Chiller & AHU installation in Al Muntazahat

The method depends on the chiller weight, the building height and the space available around the site. The survey determines whether a crane or other equipment is used, and we verify that the roof structure can carry the load before setting the unit on its base.

Chilled water pipes carry cold water through hot, humid, salty air. Without external protection, insulation deteriorates from moisture and salt and loses effectiveness. Aluminium cladding protects the insulation from outdoor air on rooftops and the humid interior air found in coastal buildings like those in Jeddah.

Yes, if the existing ducts are in good condition and match the new unit's connections. At the survey we check the duct opening sizes, the duct condition and the plenum arrangement, and confirm whether part of the network needs adjustment or transition pieces need to be fabricated in our workshop.

After the pipe pressure test we run the chiller and AHUs, measuring air temperature and pressure at each unit's outlets. We adjust dampers and valves to achieve the designed air and water flow to every zone in the building, and record the final readings before handover.

A concrete inertia base adds mass that dampens the chiller's own vibration and holds the unit steady when the compressor starts. Rubber anti-vibration mounts interrupt the path of vibration before it reaches the roof slab. Whether to use one approach or both depends on the site survey, which takes into account the roof structure, the size of the unit and the building design.

We work closely with design consultants and other trades before installation, coordinating pipe routes to avoid clashing with existing cables and drainage.

We plan chiller and condenser placement precisely from the project drawings, mounting them on vibration-isolated bases on reinforced steel frames if needed to make best use of available space.

We fully insulate all pipes and route them carefully through restricted-access areas and plant rooms, with extra protection wherever pipes run near interior finishes.

We run full commissioning on every unit, every duct run and every chilled-water joint, checking temperatures, humidity, noise and performance against spec before final handover.
