MECHANICAL SERVICES

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Gryphon the full scope of mechanical engineering design services for all phases of a project, from the initial assessment of a Client's idea, concept, need or opportunity, through the study and design phases, to the final generation of electrical power, steam and chilled water. Gryphon brings innovation and experience to all phases of a project, including the following:
  • Feasibility studies incorporating the most current viable technology
    and equipment capabilities
  • Thorough conceptual studies and investigations to permit a smooth
     transition to the detail phase
  • Preparation of technical specifications that result in the purchase of high quality cost-effective equipment
  • Detailed design integrating the major equipment, that is fully optimized for performance, cost, reliability, ease of operation and maintenance, space and access
  • Support for permitting, licensing and regulatory requirements as well as environmental assessments
  • Preparation of contract documents that provide a clear definition of project requirements and participant responsibilities - imperative for reducing Client's financial risk
  • Engineering support during construction, testing, and commissioning to ensure that the final project meets the level of performance and quality intended by the Client
  • Services such as Design-Build engineer, Owner's engineer, Joint-Venture engineer and Lender's engineer
  • Due diligence reviews.
