In 2009, the Steamboat Springs Redevelopment Authority began plans to renovate and improve the steamboat promenade. The project created a snowmelt walkway and restored a creek buried beneath the existing ski runs. MEP Engineering provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing design to support the promenade which included a snowmelt system for 22,000 square feet of walkway, promenade lighting systems, and decorative fire features. The plaza area design, at approximately 7,200 square feet, also included a gas fireplace and relocation of a trash compactor. To support the large square footage of snow melted walkway, MEP Engineering designed a 12,000,000 Btu boiler plant and 480V/3 phase electrical service to accommodate the needs of the new snowmelt system for both in the promenade redevelopment and the surrounding properties.

It is our duty as educated citizens, neighbors and engineers to protect this valuable resource as much as possible. One way to protect our fresh water system is to provide backflow prevention devices in our commercial and residential buildings.

With advances in technology, servers are becoming faster and more powerful. They are also generating significantly more heat. Server equipment is designed to operate within a specific temperature range and staying within this range will ensure reliable operation and extend the life of the equipment. On the other hand, exceeding these limits could lead to catastrophic server failure which can cost companies in equipment replacement, lost time, lost data and lost business.
