GK Engineers is the third-party MEP plan reviewer for Aldine ISD’s rebuild of Aldine Middle School and the adjacent Lane School, about 325,000 SF in two new three-story campuses with a central plant, performing arts wing and athletics. GK reviews each GMP package for code compliance and coordination alongside the district’s architectural code reviewer.

The review combines a TEA Chapter 61 compliance check with a value-added peer review. On the site work and central plant package, GK traced boiler feeder voltages against panel schedules, fault current and utility transformer assumptions, combustion air and gas-leak shutdown for the boiler room, fire pump suction under NFPA 20, and below-grade drainage materials.

Each package returns as a sheet-by-sheet comment report sorted by discipline and priority, with open questions logged for the engineer of record. Site work and central plant were reviewed in May 2026, main building packages follow as issued, and both campuses are scheduled to open in fall 2028.
