GK Engineers provided full MEP design for the conversion of a 16,000 SF former furniture store on FM 1960 in Humble into the main office of a multi-physician practice. The clinic has 20 patient rooms, X-ray and two labs serving general practice, cardiology, dermatology, urology and internal medicine.

GK modeled the loads in Trane TRACE 3D and carried packaged rooftop, VRF and split DX options to design development so the owner could choose on first cost, efficiency and operation; the owner chose split DX in ten zones laid out around the existing roof beams. A new 400A, 480V service with harmonic mitigating transformers and surge protection serves lab, EKG and X-ray equipment, and LED lighting came in 28 percent under the energy code allowance.

Design ran from October through December 2018, the permit was issued in January 2019, and construction ran through mid-2019 with GK supporting it.
