Low Voltage Systems

Systems that use low voltage for connectivity are more and more prominent in building designs as technology capabilities increase. Over the years, our projects have required us to become knowledgeable in many different low voltage system designs.

MKK welcomes the challenge to design systems to complement, protect, and operate your building, regardless of size or scale.  Our teams of staff members and partners possess all the experience and skills necessary to ensure that your building has seamlessly integrated systems that astound in performance while providing surprisingly well thought out interfaces designed with the end user in mind.

When these system designs are combined with our commissioning services, the owner is assured that the systems not only look good on paper but also exceed performance expectations of the most demanding client.

Life Safety Low Voltage Systems:

• Fire Alarm Systems are required in most facilities by code. Sometimes the systems are stand alone in the building, while other designs require interfacing with wet and dry sprinkler systems, as well as chemical agent systems.
• Emergency Mass Notification Systems are gaining popularity and are easily designed in conjunction with the fire alarm system. This is a way to notify the "masses" of an emergency situation in an immediate and organized effort.
• Radio Enhancement Systems provide in-building radio coverage for the emergency responders including police, fire department, etc. Some local codes require it and it ensures radio communications can occur within a building structure.
• Cable Plant Designs provide well thought out infrastructure that covers everything from the basic CAT6 data outlet to the entire raceway and support network to the intermediate or main distribution frames. These designs provide EIA/TIA compliant installations consistent with the latest BiCSi design standards. We work with the end users of the building to ascertain what their needs are today, as well as guide the process of planning for the future. The entire process of developing a well-built cable plant involves the owner and space occupants from planning stages all the way through final construction. Delivering a platform that allows expansion for years to come is the essence of our design approach.
• Integrated Automation Systems offer options to combine all the building controls into one building management system. This enables the owner to access the mechanical system controls, lighting control systems, metering, security system, and various alarm monitoring from one web-based system, and maximize their energy savings. This integrated building systems approach also reduces the raw materials used in building construction by eliminating redundant systems, infrastructure, and overhead.
• Paging and Intercom Systems are requested in many building types and provide general communication throughout the facility. Typically, this is achieved in conjunction with the main telephone system and allows overhead and individual location selection choices.
• Clock Systems are widely used in educational applications. These designs include either hardwired systems or a wireless technology system eliminating the resource requirements.
• Multi-media/Audio Systems can be designed for conference Rooms, training rooms, classrooms, and more. These systems range from simple classroom audio enhancement systems to full stage sound systems. 
• Camera and Access Control Systems provide secured access at exterior building entry locations and can limit access to specific sensitive areas within the facility. They also provide monitoring capabilities from a central location.
