Mechanical systems that are efficient to run and easy to maintain.
KD Mechanical (KDM) is the mechanical engineering division of the Krahn Group of Companies, working in the institutional, residential, commercial and industrial sectors. With over 600 projects completed in the last decade, we have earned a reputation for mechanical systems that are cost-effective, resource-efficient and straightforward to maintain. We stay involved from concept to construction so the systems we design enhance a property's long-term value.
Approach
HVAC and plumbing are the largest energy consumers in most buildings. We treat responsible design as a professional obligation: even modest improvements produce significant long-term savings. We work alongside consulting teams, ownership groups and contractors at each stage so what is designed matches what is built.
