SynC · Topic
These are the standards in the SynC Standards library that cover Mechanical. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide — ratings, materials, setpoints, and the standards each is verified against. All of it is free to read without an account and published under CC BY-SA 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Cast-in-place concrete equipment pads and housekeeping pads that receive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment - generators, pad-mounted and dry-type transformers, switchgear and switchboard lineups, chillers, air handlers, condensing units, pumps, compressors, boilers, and similar equipment - whether the pad bears on grade, on an interior finished floor, on a structural slab, or on an exterior platform. Covers the decisions a pad standard actually owns: pad geometry and height, attachment to the supporting concrete, reinforcement method, cast-in and post-installed equipment anchorage, cast-in raceway and grounding provisions, liquid containment, surface finish and grout bed, isolation from adjacent construction, dimensional and anchorage tolerances, and the verification performed before concrete is placed and before equipment is set.
