Design Build - Geothermal
Engineering Procurement & Construction (EPC) contract
When it comes to ground-source heat exchangers, ABS offers the industry complete service. Under an Engineering Procurement & Construction (EPC) contract, ABS will design the installation, procure the necessary materials and construct it. Geothermal is our total focus; it is what we do. And, our sub-contractors have a proven track record of successful, on-time and on-budget projects to show for it.
ABS Group of Companies has the skills, ability and experience to convert low performance facility (Existing or New) into High performance building. We Offer:
Turnkey-Custom Build Geothermal Systems
that fits in your FISCAL & ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS.
For speed, lower cost and higher quality, Turnkey Custom Build delivery can't be beat. Simply put, custom-build creates a single contract between the owner and ABS. While other delivery methods require the owner to contract separately with a designer/architect and contractor, custom-build contracting method ties all elements together and relies on the roles, relationships and responsibilities of every participant.
In the custom-build contracting method, ABS provides design, engineering, installation, testing and commissioning services. The process we use is designed to improve owners’ control over the geothermal project, reduce risk and unpleasant surprises, and ensure the end result meets owners’ expectations.
Custom-Build Benefits:
- Single-source contract to complete design & construction services
ensures quality and reduces practical issues faced in other ways
- Early cost and schedule control of project
- Reduced overall project duration & owner puts in minimum efforts
- Fast-track design and construction
- Minimizes Clients' Risk
- Reduced Overall project cost.
ABS also offer complete building integrated design approach as a whole will provide significant savings in Mechanical and Electrical Systems, or in some case reduce or eliminate systems. Our leaders have complete knowledge of how we fully integrate every existing building system with Geothermal, Solar etc in order to maximize the clean energy resources available to building.

- Geothermal System Commissioning
| Fundamental System Commissioning | Enhanced Commissioning
Geothermal System Commissioning
As we all know Commissioning is quality control for buildings. A high performance system in a building requires that all systems are operating properly and efficiently. Geothermal System commissioning is extremely important to avoid any future leaks and to ensure that system will operate properly and efficiently.
Geothermal system is the only HVAC system that is buried and installed right under the building or in a space around the building. Once the system install, it is extremely difficult and costly to access the system and fix the problem.
Geothermal System commissioning is a quality assurance program intended to demonstrate the system is constructed well and performs as designed. If the Geothermal systems weren't installed properly or aren't operating as intended, the reliability and other benefits of high performance design will not be achieved. If commissioning reveals problems with design or construction, the responsible parties fix the problems up front instead of dealing with maintenance problems or poor performance down the road.
In many ways, commissioning is similar to a "test run" or "systems check." It tests, verifies, and fine-tunes the performance of systems so that the highest levels of performance are achieved.

We are the first & the only firm in the World, providing Geothermal based spot cooling & heating solutions for industries. We are bringing innovation to work which require new method of design, new approach to technologies and new set of services. Each industrial system design by our leaders is tailor to meet the needs of the client while ensuring optimum system efficiency, sustainability and most importantly occupant and/or process comfort.
While many Engineering firms can produce good conventional designs for industrial buildings, ABS Group is one of the few firms with has the skills and experience to deliver cost effective, energy efficient, environmentally clean and safe Industrial space conditioning solutions.
ABS ESCO offers TURNKEY Design-Build solutions to Industrial Sector. Our Geothermal based Design/Build Construction method is unique. By leveraging Turn-Key’s experience, the project will be completed faster, less expensively and without cost overruns created by “change orders”.
To accomplish this, we utilize our unique system Modeling and Preliminary Design Evaluation techniques to explore all of your options and identify all major areas of concern at the beginning of the process. By doing this, we are able to give a firm price quote after agreeing on the preliminary design concept. This allows us to run the concept, design, working drawings and construction phases concurrently. Those using the “Plan/Spec” method of construction management run those phases consecutively, creating a longer and more costly project.

CARBON NEUTRAL Buildings
We delivered Carbon Neutral Buildings.
The 2030 Challenge is a North American based move to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions for all new buildings to zero by the year 2030. The fossil fuel reduction targets are aggressive: 60% in 2010; 70% in 2015; 80% in 2020; and 90% in 2025. At this point in time, the emphasis for the 2030 Challenge carbon reduction is focused only on operating energy. It presently is not considering the carbon implications of construction, the materials used in the building, the use of the building or associated transportation costs. It is felt that the impact of operational energy is of greater significance as its negative costs to the environment will persist for the life of the building.
Buildings that are currently including issues of sustainable design in their mandate, are likely already addressing some aspects that support carbon reductions. The issue of carbon in buildings is complex. There is carbon involved in the extraction of the resources that we use to create products; in the transportation of these products to the site; in the physical construction of the buildings; in the operation of buildings; and in the lives of people as they carry on business.
ABS Group has over 20 years of engineering experience in buildings system design and helped create some of Canada’s most state of the art and efficient projects including Carbon Neutral Buildings. Each of our system engineering & design is unique and tailored to meet the needs of the Client while ensuring optimum performance, sustainability and most importantly occupant comfort.

Energy & Power Consulting
The environmental and energy challenges throughout the world are numerous and complex. Most individuals, commercial & industrial companies, municipalities and governments are now on the sustainability bandwagon to provide solutions to our energy & power problems. With the shrinking natural resource pool, the demand for alternative energy & power solutions are growing sky-high. Coupled with it is the rapid growth rate of economies among the developing countries of the world and unrealistic rise in world population which is already exceeded 7billion. The growing demand for more power and energy have led to more utilization of natural resources and consequently putting more pressure on the natural store house of non-renewable resources including fossil fuels like –coal and petroleum.
Effective energy solutions are the need of the day. ABS Group's experience extends to many energy & power technologies including Geothermal & Solar. Solar power is one of the best ways among alternative energy sources to compensate the power requirement. If properly utilized, geo-thermal energy holds a vast potential unlike other energy solutions fulfilling most of the energy requirements.
We provide a unique resource in Alternate Energy & Power solutions to meet our client needs. Please visit our Energy & Power section to know more about our solutions.
