After a conceptual floor plan and fire hazard analysis have been completed through the Easy Approval Package (phase 1) , an extraction lab will be required to show the building department the engineering behind the construction which will need to be reviewed by the municipality’s engineers. This is called Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (and sometimes structural) engineering plans. MEP engineering goes beyond the basic floor plan schematics and fire codes and dives into how your team will construct walls, ducting to the exterior of the building, HVAC and air-conditioning plans, electrical load calculations and plans to add/modify electricity in the building, plumbing designs and materials and structural changes and explanations. For most “local” engineering firms, the learning curve to building an extraction lab can be costly to the client. Just to even get an extraction lab hazardous ventilation engineered with a HVAC system can be exhausting!

Sticking to an experienced team like C1D1 Labs will streamline your project’s timeline, getting your extraction project up and running quicker. Cutting down this timeline and saving your team money with tested engineered designs are just some of the advantages. By having the same team that consults on your extraction processes, processing equipment and even certifying processing equipment, projects managers can rely on one engineering team to pick up the project and take the project to the finish line. Eliminating miscommunication, and increasing overall effectiveness in the project.
