MEP Engineering in Key West, FL

The southernmost city in the continental U.S., Key West is an island chain city built on tourism, hospitality, and the military — home to Naval Air Station Key West, a dense Old Town historic district, and a cruise-ship port. Extreme hurricane exposure, corrosive salt air, and some of the lowest land elevations in Florida define every project.

What we design

  • Hurricane-resilient MEP design per the Florida Building Code 7th Edition wind provisions — equipment anchorage and outdoor unit tie-downs engineered for ultimate wind speeds approaching 180+ mph in this exposure.
  • Flood elevation of all MEP equipment: Florida Building Code and local ordinance require electrical and mechanical systems above the design flood elevation, critical on an island where much of Old Town sits below 5 feet.
  • Corrosion-resistant materials selection for every project — salt-spray rated equipment, stainless and coated ductwork, and sealed electrical enclosures to survive Key West's constant marine exposure.
  • Hospitality-driven HVAC demand: boutique hotels, resorts, and restaurants along Duval Street and the Historic Seaport require quiet, efficient rooftop and split systems sized for year-round cooling loads and high humidity.
  • Backup power and life-safety systems engineered for island isolation — Key West's single Overseas Highway connection makes generator sizing, fuel storage, and critical-circuit redundancy non-negotiable for healthcare and hospitality facilities.
