As Mechanical and Structural Engineers of Record, we played a crucial role in overseeing the design for the installation of the paint booth. Collaborating with Flatline Spray Booth Specialists, we meticulously designed the venting system and supports for fume exhaust. Our environmental assessment covered various aspects, including material usage, facility layout, filters, and exhaust specifications, ensuring compliance with environmental registration requirements under the Ontario Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR). Additionally, we conducted air modeling and analyses of odour and noise to meet Ministry standards.
