MEP and Structural Engineering for a New 34 Unit Multifamily Project at O St & 18th St, Bakersfield

InnoDez provided MEP Design and Structural Engineering and Title 24 for a new 34 unit multifamily project in Bakersfield, CA.

Building consists of four floors, with 5 unit models, wood framing and slab on grade foundation.

Building area: 29,240 SF

Project Overview:

At InnoDez, we specialize in providing innovative MEP and structural engineering services for multi-family residential projects. For the 34-Unit Multifamily Development in Bakersfield, CA, located at O St & 18th St, we delivered comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) solutions alongside advanced structural design. This project demonstrates our commitment to creating efficient, sustainable, and livable residential spaces tailored to modern needs.

Our MEP and Structural Engineering Approach:

The Bakersfield 34-unit project required meticulous coordination between MEP systems and structural design to ensure optimal functionality and long-term durability. Our team collaborated closely with the project stakeholders to develop systems that balance operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with California’s building codes.

HVAC Design for Residential Comfort:

In multifamily developments, a reliable HVAC system is vital to ensure consistent comfort across all units. For this project, we designed an energy-efficient HVAC system that provides excellent indoor air quality and temperature control while minimizing energy consumption. This included advanced ductwork, high-efficiency HVAC units, and smart climate control solutions for enhanced user comfort and energy savings.

Electrical Systems for Modern Living:

To meet the demands of modern residential living, our team designed a robust electrical infrastructure that supports lighting, appliances, and smart home technologies. Energy-efficient LED lighting, strategically placed outlets, and provisions for future upgrades, including EV charging stations, were key features of our design.

Plumbing and Water Management Solutions:

For the plumbing systems, we focused on efficiency and sustainability. We incorporated low-flow fixtures, optimized piping layouts, and advanced water heating systems to reduce water usage while ensuring consistent hot water availability for all units. Additionally, we implemented fire protection systems to comply with safety standards, including fire sprinklers and alarm systems integrated with the building’s electrical design.

Structural Engineering for Stability and Safety:

The structural design of the Bakersfield 34-unit building was tailored to withstand seismic activity and meet California’s stringent building standards. By leveraging advanced materials and design techniques, we ensured the structure’s safety and longevity while maximizing usable space within the apartments.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency:

Sustainability is at the core of our designs. For this project, we integrated green building practices by using energy-efficient systems and eco-friendly materials. These measures reduce the building’s environmental impact and lower operational costs for property owners and residents.

Challenges and Solutions:

One of the primary challenges was ensuring that the MEP systems were seamlessly integrated with the structural design to maintain spatial efficiency and aesthetic appeal. By using advanced modeling tools and collaborating with all project stakeholders, we developed innovative solutions to overcome these challenges and deliver a high-performance residential complex.

Conclusion:

The Bakersfield 34-Unit Multifamily Project showcases InnoDez’s ability to deliver comprehensive MEP and structural engineering services for residential developments. By prioritizing efficiency, sustainability, and safety, we created a modern living space that meets the needs of both residents and property owners.
