In the high-traffic commercial developments of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, garage ducting is the most critical mechanical component for both daily operations and life safety. Whether for a professional automotive service center or a high-volume commercial parking structure, the ductwork must be engineered to handle a mixture of toxic vehicle emissions—specifically Carbon Monoxide (CO)—and act as a high-velocity Smoke Spill system during a fire.
EKG M&E Sdn Bhd specializes in the design, installation, and balancing of these heavy-duty networks, ensuring strict adherence to MS 1780, UBBL, and BOMBA standards.
A professionally installed commercial garage network is designed to manage two very different airflow regimes using a single set of fire-rated conduits.
Goal: To remove vehicle exhaust fumes and prevent the buildup of hazardous gases in work zones and parking stalls.
Mechanism: The ducting is linked to Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensors. Through a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), the system modulates fan speed based on real-time air quality.
Specialized Intake: For service garages, we can integrate specialized tailpipe extraction "drop-down" hoses directly into the main ducting to capture emissions at the source.
Goal: To extract 300°C–400°C smoke to maintain visibility and a tenable environment for evacuation.
FRL 120/120/120 Integrity: We utilize 1.2mm heavy-gauge galvanized steel (G.I.) encased in BOMBA-approved fire-rated boards or high-density wraps. This ensures the duct remains structurally sound for at least 2 hours under extreme heat.
As a specialized M&E contractor, EKG ensures your garage infrastructure is optimized for efficiency:
TNB Energy Efficiency (Leakage Control): Leaky exhaust ducts force fans to work harder. By ensuring a Class C Airtight installation, we eliminate static pressure loss. This allows your fans to hit safety targets at lower frequencies (Hz) during mandatory weekly testing, directly reducing your monthly TNB electricity bill.
EECA 2024 & Building Compliance: Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, mechanical air transport must be optimized. Our precision-engineered systems prevent energy "bleeding" and ensure your Building Energy Index (BEI) remains within regulatory limits.
Acoustic Treatment: Commercial garages are often located near retail or office spaces. We integrate Acoustic-Lined Ducts and silencers to ensure that "fan roar" does not disturb occupants or violate local noise ordinances (e.g., DBKL/MBPJ).
Total 3D BIM Coordination: Garage ceilings are crowded with services. We model the network in 3D to ensure zero "clashes" with sprinklers, plumbing, and electrical trays, preserving maximum vehicle headroom.
Turnkey BOMBA Submission: We manage the full process, from technical drawings to performing the mandatory Smoke Tests and Anemometer Airflow Traverse required for your annual Fire Certificate (FC) renewal.
Strategic Regional Support: Based in Kuala Lumpur, we provide professional safety audits and technical proposals for shopping malls, office towers, and luxury condominiums.
