EKG Project Update: AHU Drive System Restoration at Tokio Marine

Kuala Lumpur | March 2, 2026EKG M&E Sdn Bhd has successfully completed a critical mechanical restoration of the Air Handling Unit (AHU) system at Tokio Marine. This technical intervention focused on the B2 Level infrastructure, ensuring the continued reliability of the building’s primary climate control systems.

HVAC MECHANICAL OVERHAUL & PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Scope of Work: AHU Drive Assembly Audit, Pulley & Shaft Restoration, and Motor Performance Verification

1. Problem Statement

The Euroklimat Single Skin AHU (Model: EKSW080HR), a high-capacity unit rated for 8000m³/h air flow, showed significant signs of mechanical fatigue. Specifically, the fan shaft and pulley system exhibited surface corrosion and wear, which, if left unaddressed, could lead to belt slippage, increased vibration, and eventual motor burnout.

2. Technical Execution

Our engineering team implemented a specialized restoration process to return the unit to peak operational standards:

  • Mechanical Drive Restoration: The fan shaft and pulley assembly were thoroughly cleaned and inspected for alignment issues. By treating the rusted surfaces and ensuring the integrity of the shaft, we restored smooth power transmission.

  • Motor & Electrical Audit: The 3kW / 415V drive motor was tested for electrical stability. We inspected the flexible conduits and housing to ensure the power supply remains protected from moisture and dust common in basement mechanical rooms.

  • Component Calibration: After the mechanical cleaning, the team re-aligned the drive components to minimize operational noise and reduce structural stress on the AHU’s single-skin chassis.

  • Performance Verification: The unit was tested under full load to confirm that the cooling capacity (rated at 58.4kW) was being delivered efficiently across the designated zones.

3. Project Outcome & Value Delivered

  • Infrastructure Longevity: By focusing on the drive assembly, EKG has extended the service life of this 2015-era AHU, avoiding the high capital expenditure of a full unit replacement.

  • Operational Silence: The restoration of the pulleys and shaft significantly reduces mechanical vibration, leading to a quieter environment for the floors served by this unit.

  • Enhanced Reliability: Proactive maintenance on the B2 Level ensures that Tokio Marine’s critical infrastructure remains resilient against unscheduled downtime.
