Plumbing
Plumbing design addresses one of today’s finite commodities— water. Experienced in the investigation and comparative analysis of plumbing design scenarios, OLA’s engineers know the importance of water conservation and water treatment options to reduce depletion and increase preservation.
Our conservation measures applied to plumbing design have helped clients reduce water usage through ultra-low flow fixtures and rainwater/graywater systems. Areas of expertise include: building plumbing & sanitary distribution systems, fuel oil tank replacements, natural gas and propane systems, water conservation, water protection (backflow prevention), water pressure systems, storm water disposal, medical gas systems, and water filtration systems.
NYPD Tow Pound Operations Building
This new building received LEED Gold and features solar domestic hot water heating. OLA performed comprehensive MEP systems design for the NYPD Brooklyn North Tow Pound and NYC Department of Citywide Services headquarters. Plumbing systems design include low flow plumbing fixtures, low flow showers for locker rooms, solar domestic hot water heating, heat recovery systems, and optimized system design with respect to sizing.
