M&E refers to Mechanical & Electrical systems, usually in the context of construction. While the term refers to both systems combined as they are often used together, mechanical systems could mean plant and machinery, elements of infrastructure, tools, and heating and ventilation. Then when talking about electrical systems, this could cover power supply and distribution, telecommunications, computing instrumentation, and control systems. However, many systems include components of the two which is why M&E is such a common term.
Mechanical and electrical systems require maintenance and quite often one of the core services of a facilities management is to manage mechanical and electrical maintenance, this can include planned, preventative maintenance, fault finding, electrical Inspection and testing, Portable Appliance Testing, gas safety, and gas soundness, emergency lighting testing, life system testing, regular repairs or 24-hour emergency and reactive services. Each client may require something different as while one might need full-time on-site support others may only require ad-hoc inspections and maintenance.
To make sure that you are working and operating your business in a safe and efficient environment then M&E maintenance undertaken by M&E contractors is an essential service and something that should never be overlooked. Scheduled M&E maintenance is actually rather easy to manage and is far more effective than emergency and reactive maintenance. If you do encounter a breakdown, then it will likely have a bigger impact on the productivity of your business, however, when you have scheduled maintenance, you can plan any downtime and carry out the maintenance at quieter times or at the weekends or over night. But hopefully, with the right scheduled maintenance, you won’t have much of a need for emergency and reactive maintenance.
It is also important to carry out regular internal health and safety inspections and audits on mechanical and electrical components in your premises to ensure that the health and safety compliance requirements are met.
Mechanical and electrical installations can take place in any commercial property and should only be undertaken by engineers who know what they are doing. They should also be planned effectively, to make sure that they cause as little disruption as possible and are in line with the company’s current and future requirements. Mechanical and Electrical Installations may include Kitchen Extract Systems, Ventilation Systems, Cold Rooms, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Ductwork, and Heating Systems and Boilers, and should be installed to make a commercial property work better and more efficiently. These installations should also look to reduce environmental impact and increase user efficiency.
