We Design Maritime HVAC Systems for Another Monster Cruise Liner

Our expertise in HVAC drafting has led to another landmark assignment. The Magnum Group has been awarded the contract for laying out 10 of the 50 HVAC machinery rooms in a new mega cruise liner ordered by Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL).

“Laying Out” encompasses positioning machines in the rooms, sizing and positioning air ducts, water pipes and cable trays as well as calculating air pressure and sound levels at each point in the ship.

Code named “F3”, the liner has a stupendous 12,600 lower berths, an extensive choice of accommodations, restaurants, bars, lounges, a bowling alley, a fitness center, swimming pools, a casino, interactive TV, a wireless LAN and a variety of sports facilities.

The other 40 machinery rooms are being designed in France, Rumania and Mumbai. All the teams use the same specialized 3D plant design software; not a single line of the ducts, pipes and AHUs is drawn in 2D.

This is the second liner for which The Magnum Group is designing… of course, it’s almost double the size of the first!
