Prishtina Mall – HVAC systems for a 239,000 m² shopping centre
Install Engineering sh.p.k. supplied and installed the heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems at Prishtina Mall, working with the general contractor Octacom shpk, from 2021 to 2023. The detailed design of the building services (HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire protection) was carried out by JEPA S.A. Install Engineering delivered all of the centre’s central HVAC systems; the HVAC in the individual shops and the cinema was installed by other companies.
Project scope
- Heating, air conditioning and ventilation of the common areas and administrative offices.
- Mechanical ventilation and gas removal for the garages (level -4.20).
- Boiler system for domestic hot water.
- Air conditioning and ventilation of the server rooms.
Technical data and equipment
- Centre floor area: 239,000 m².
- 6 Climaveneta chillers / heat pumps (Mitsubishi Electric): 6.9 MW heating and cooling.
- 5 Viessmann boilers with Weishaupt burners: 8.3 MW heating.
- 22 Proklima air handling units: 1,000,000 m³/h ventilation.
- Samsung fan coil units.
- Over 12 km of pre-insulated Interplast PPR hydronic piping.
- Around 350 tonnes of HVAC ductwork.
- Garage ventilation (around 53,800 m²) with Soler&Palau fans.
- Wilo circulation pumps, T.I.S. valves and Talos Ecotherm copper piping.
Project team: 7 engineers and 15 work crews, 210 staff in total.
Project challenges
- Tight schedule: the works followed a compact, dynamic plan, running in parallel with the construction of the centre.
- Price rises in 2022: after the contract was signed, the war in Ukraine caused a sharp rise in material and equipment prices. Fast action in procurement and planning kept the project on track and all contractual obligations were fulfilled.
- Site coordination: work alongside the general contractor and the electrical, fire protection and construction teams on a 239,000 m² construction site.
- Heavy equipment on the roof: transport and lifting of the chillers and air handling units onto the roof of the building.
- Scale of the installation: over 12 km of piping and around 350 tonnes of ductwork installed in ceilings and garages with limited space.
- Testing and commissioning: balancing and testing of all systems before the centre opened.
