Mechanical Engineering
NV5 has designed some of the world’s most spectacular mechanical systems, including air-handling and climate controls to deal with the smoke, fire, and water effects in nearly all of the Cirque du Soleil theaters, and super-efficient, redundant cooling systems for some of the nation’s most advanced data centers. We also specialize in commercial, healthcare, laboratory, airport, residential, and retail building projects. We believe that the mark of a great mechanical system is that building occupants never think about it – they are comfortable, the air is good, the temperature is right, and the design is safe. Our mechanical (HVAC) systems heat and cool the indoor environment, ensure indoor air quality, maintain sensitive environments, and integrate life safety systems.

Electrical Engineering
Whether your project is a new development, renovation, or remediation, NV5’s electrical engineering teams work diligently with clients, developing solutions to produce practical, efficient, and cost-effective electrical systems designs for some of the world’s largest, most challenging, and innovative building projects. Our public and private clients’ projects are of all sizes (up to 10 million square feet!) and span various timeframes, from 30 days to multi-year commitments. We step outside the box for our clients, staying at the forefront of technology and implementing new solutions, where appropriate, in the least costly fashion.

Plumbing Engineering
NV5 has been a part of many impressive projects, designing the water supply for the 8.5 acre Fountains of the Bellagio, the lagoon and fountains of the Mirage Volcano, and the million-gallon pool in the Le Rêve Theater at the Wynn Las Vegas. Our plumbing systems circulate hot and cold water around the building, remove waste, divert rainwater to the storm system, and deliver natural gas or LPG around the property. Still, our greatest satisfaction comes from designs that are more down-to-earth. We make sure that the water pressure is the same on every floor of high-rise towers around the world; that natural gas lines are safe; and that wastewater, grease, and industrial waste are disposed of properly and efficiently.
