Pumps, vessels, heat exchangers, and agitators
-
Planned shutdowns and tie-ins
-
Routine and preventive maintenance
-
Emergency breakdown support
MPF Engineering works closely with client operations teams to ensure shutdowns are carefully planned, safely executed, and completed within agreed timeframes. This capability is particularly valuable in high-throughput production environments where downtime carries a high cost.
Industrial Refrigeration & Process Systems
MPF Engineering has strong capability in industrial refrigeration and process systems, particularly ammonia, CO₂, glycol, and steam-based installations. Experience spans food processing, cold storage, packhouses, and large industrial facilities.
Services include:
-
Ammonia and CO₂ refrigeration pipework
-
Glycol and secondary refrigerant systems
-
Steam and condensate systems
-
Pressure testing and commissioning support
All refrigeration and process systems are installed in accordance with applicable codes and industry best practices, supported by full documentation and quality records.
Engineering, Drafting & Project Management
Beyond fabrication and installation, MPF Engineering provides engineering and project management support to ensure projects are delivered efficiently and safely.
In-house capabilities include:
-
SolidWorks and AutoCAD drafting
-
IFC (Issued for Construction) isometrics
-
Design verification and constructability reviews
-
Project management and scheduling
-
Shutdown planning and coordination
This integrated capability allows MPF Engineering to support projects from early design through to construction and commissioning, reducing interfaces and improving overall project outcomes.
Quality Assurance, Compliance & Safety
Quality and compliance are fundamental to MPF Engineering’s operations. All projects are delivered under a structured quality management framework, with documentation tailored to project requirements.
Quality systems typically include:
