The
roles and responsibilities of MEP engineers are somewhat similar to those of
site engineers as the term ‘MEP’ which stands for Mechanical Electrical & Plumbing
but nowadays as per the norms and regularities fire safety is also taken under
consideration an MEP engineer is modified to MEPF engineer which stands for
(Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire-Fighting)
The
role of MEPF Engineer is concerned with the IBMS (Integrated Building
Management System) or any infrastructural projects where there is the involvement
of these subdomains, as per the hierarchy the MEPF engineer must be responsible
to lead the engineers of subdomains like civil engineer who is assigned for
managing plumbing, drainage, construction etc, the mechanical engineer who is
assigned for HVAC (Heat Ventilation & Air Conditioning) or Fire safety
system, the electrical engineer who is assigned for entire connections or ELVS
(Extra-low voltage systems)
The
goal of the MEPF engineer is to execute the project within the time limit with
the best result and optimal cost, Now if we specifically take an example of
fire-fighting or safety domain then the site engineer who is being assigned has
to undergo the duties like system installation, to execute the system as per
the drawing provided by the design department, to keep a note of all materials
which are in use or are stored in an inventory also to make a note for
forecasting needs of materials required at the site.
After
the material order is placed by the procurement department the materials are
sent to the site, where the concerned site engineer takes charge of the
unloading and re-verifying the materials or goods along with the client-side
representative. Apart from this the on-site duties like performing various
calculations and measurements of the system and also handling the daily work
progress of contractors whose workers are undergoing fabrication as per the
norms decided by the client.
