Know it inside and out.
Whether it's a specific mechanical or electrical project or a vision for a new building, we start by knowing the challenge inside out. We understand the intricacies of each task, and how multiple disciplines ultimately need to work together to achieve the best possible results. The breadth and depth of SSM's facilities engineering resources guarantee the integrated approach. But we do a lot of listening, too. Working with owners, architects, agents, and process engineers to understand the goals, needs, budgets, and unique considerations. Add our penchant for innovative thinking to the picture, and you'll find SSM to be the best single-source solution for any facilities engineering challenge. No matter how many facets.
We work in mission critical facilities to support quantum computing and AI. From ground up solutions to retrofit and reuse, we bring the team and technology to ensure the result you envision. We are apply High Definition Scanning (HDS) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to streamline the process from planning and design through construction. And we do it with a passion for a sustainable built environment and economic operational performance. So if being “down” during renovation isn't an option, you have definitely found your solution here.
HIGHLIGHT PROJECTS
Members of our Energy and Sustainability Services department performed a ‘building tune-up’ at the Juvenile Justice Center to identify opportunities for conserving energy and water usage. This evaluation was conducted as a pilot for the City of Philadelphia, for the development of Building Energy Performance Policy Ordinance and program guidelines. (BEPP)
SSM was involved in a renovation project to structurally evaluate the existing roof structure for support of new units for heating and cooling the axe-throwing space.
SSM developed a plan to convert a chilled water plant consisting of two independent chilled water systems comprised of 2 – 600 ton chillers (N+1) and associated pumps and 2 – 250 ton chillers (N+1) and associated pumps to a single system consisting of 3 – 400 ton chillers and associated pumps.
SSM prepared construction documents for the installation of a dual fuel 1,200 HP boiler to replace a 67 year old water tube boiler.
Assessed the existing condition of the timber-framed structure and provided structural engineering analysis and design to replace or reconstruct a portion of the Breaker.Assessed the existing condition of the timber-framed structure and provided structural engineering analysis and design to replace or reconstruct a portion of the Breaker.
SSM engineers performed the inspection from an articulating lift and prepared a report of findings in accordance with City requirements
SSM utilizedthree-dimensional scanning to locate and identify the magnitude of surface irregularities in pier.
SSM regularly inspects the condition of the structure as well as witnesses the cycling of the Drydock.
SSM utilized high definition laser scanning equipment and software to quickly and accurately capture the existing facade conditions of the church’s 150-foot bell tower.
