Experience:
Lynden Pindling International Airport
Graphite was involved in this project that was completed over a five year period to construct a new international airport for New Providence, The Bahamas. We provided services as Engineer of Record in the Mechanical division and additionally provided Construction Administration services for this $400 million project.
In this role we were responsible for review of the mechanical design drawings and specifications, ensuring compliance with the local codes and making key recommendations as it relates to optimizing the design to best suit the local requirements, ease of maintenance and durability.
In the construction phase we oversaw the installation over the three phases, conducting field inspections, attending meetings as required, review of submittals and shop drawings.
At the end of each phase we assisted with punch lists and were responsible for signing off to signify substantial completion.
Project Cost: $400 million

Baha Mar Resort
Graphite is the Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection (MEPFP) Engineer of Record for this $3.6 billion project being undertaken on Cable Beach. We also have responsibility for the MEPFP Construction Administration for the entire project.
We assembled a team of professionals to assist us with review of drawings and specifications during the design phase. Once we were satisfied that the drawings complied with the relevant codes we stamped, signed and dated the drawings and facilitated approval of the same by the Buildings Control Department.
For the construction administration phase we expanded our team to cover inspection required for air-conditioning, ventilation, plumbing, fire protection, electrical (including IT, fire alarm and low voltage systems), elevator and LPG.
We ensure compliance with local codes and project specifications. We work closely with the contractor and our client aid in the execution of this project of national significance.
On this project we worked with AECOM who is the Executive Architect of the entire project.
We had an opportunity to work closely with their design team on the Convention Center as we were tasked with review of the engineering drawings for this aspect of the works. We enjoyed a very good working relationship with this team and look forward to the opportunity to work with them again.
