MEP
Service Overview
Mechanical, Electrical, and Public Health (MEP)
We provide a fully integrated design, resourcing services, and project management for all areas of building services within a project.
A key aspect of our work is providing sustainable solutions that meet each client’s unique and tailored needs and deliver effective and cost-efficient solutions.
Decisive Planning
We plan and make the right decisions about your project.
Operations & Maintenance
We understand how best you will operate and maintain your building.
Environmental Savings
We help make your building environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Safe & Practical
We ensure that all Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health design systems of a building are safe, bring comfort to its occupants and enable the building to function properly.

Service Overview
Areas of Work
Access Control Systems
They are security systems designed to regulate and monitor access in a building, room, or area within a facility to ensure only authorised individuals can enter while preventing unauthorised access.
Air Condition Comfort
Comfort air conditioning in our designs ensures a comfortable indoor environment for homes, offices, and public spaces by regulating temperature, humidity, and air quality while promoting productivity, health, and well-being.
Building Management Systems (BMS)
Computer-based control systems that monitor and manage lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. They automate and optimise performance, improve energy efficiency and reduce waste and operating costs.
CCTV Systems (CCTV)
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) records images of people in specific public places, such as town centres, roads, airports, and public transport.
Chilled Water
Used to provide cooling, water is cooled in chiller units, then distributed by pipework to air handling units where it is used to cool air ducted through the building for ventilation and dehumidifying ventilated air.
Close Control Air Conditioning
This design system controls room temperature and humidity in rooms with Computer Servers, Data Centers, Laboratories, Telecommunication, etc.
Comfort Ventilation
Intake and exhaust of the air ventilation system that ensures highly efficient heat recovery based on a comfortable and energy-saving design.
Control Systems
We use control systems to manage, command, direct and regulate the behaviour of other devices or systems using control loops.
Domestic Heating
A central heating system connected to a boiler uses pipework and radiators to transfer heat throughout the building and back to the boiler for reheating. It also provides hot water to hot taps.
Earthing Systems
Also known as a grounding system, it is a network of conductors that safely dissipates electrical current into the ground. Its primary purpose is to prevent voltage build-up on conductive parts and stabilise electrical systems.
Fire Alarm Systems
A building system designed to detect and alert occupants and emergency authorities of the presence of smoke, fire, carbon monoxide or other fire-related emergencies.
Heating
Used in manufacturing, we design these systems to help maintain a comfortable and safe working environment that protects equipment and materials from damage caused by cold temperatures.
Heat Recovery Systems
Our energy-efficient design systems include heat recovery and ventilation systems that recover heat from the air. It extracts stale air from a building and, using a heat exchanger, transfers the heat to fresh incoming air.
High and Low Voltage Distribution Systems
Low voltage (LV) refers to a voltage greater than 50V but not exceeding 1000V (AC RMS) or 1500V (ripple-free DC). High voltage (HV) refers to a voltage higher than low voltage. Extra low voltage (ELV) refers to a voltage of or less (AC RMS) or 120V or less (ripple-free DC).
High-Temperature Hot Water (HTW)
A heating system that operates at temperatures exceeding 350oF (177oC). It is commonly used in large distribution and process application systems and has a maximum operating pressure of less than 300 psi (20.7 bar)
ICT Services
Technology systems and solutions that facilitate the management, storage, transmission, and retrieval of information. They are hardware and software solutions, network infrastructure, data centres, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and telecommunications.
Intruder Alarm Systems
A system designed to detect unauthorised entry or intrusion into a building. It typically consists of sensors, such as door/window contacts, motion detectors, and a control panel that monitors these sensors.
Low-Temperature Hot Water
In a low-temperature heating system, such as those using condensing boilers or heat pumps, the water supply temperature is significantly lower, ranging from 45°C to 55°C or even as low as 35°C to 45°C.
Low Carbon Technologies
These are essential for achieving a low-carbon economy. They include wind turbines, solar panels, biomass systems, and carbon capture equipment, all playing a crucial role in reducing pollution.
Lighting & Small Power Designs.
We advise on efficient electrical systems by selecting the right lighting fixtures, planning their placement, and establishing the required electrical circuits that are safe, functional, and energy-efficient.
Lightning Protection
It is designed to prevent or reduce damage caused by lightning strikes to buildings. They safeguard the internal electrical components of a structure, mitigating the risk of fires or harmful electrical surges that may occur when lightning enters the building through wires and pipes.
Process Ventilation
It uses fans and duct work to extract contaminated air from a workplace or treat it before releasing it into the environment. It cleans the air and prevents the build-up of hazardous substances.
Power Systems: Generation
Typically, they operate as heat engines, converting heat input to generate electricity. This heat input can be from fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, biomass or thermal energy from renewable sources.
Security Systems
They are systems with different methods or devices designed to protect people and property from various hazards, such as crime, fire, accidents, theft, sabotage, subversion, or attack.
Steam Heating Systems
Steam heat is created by converting water from a steam boiler to steam using a combustible fuel source such as gas, oil or electric burner.
Voice/Data Services
Communication services that enable the transmission and exchange of voice and data information. They include phone calls, video calls, text messages, and internet data transfer.
Vertical Transportation Systems
Whether you need to design a new building or retrofit an existing one, DRAC Consulting can help you with your vertical transportation needs. We have the expertise and experience to provide the best solutions for elevators, escalators, stairs, ramps, or lifts. We can optimise your vertical transportation system for safety, efficiency, comfort, and sustainability.
