Mechanical, electrical, and energy efficiency (ESCO) contractor.
PT. The M&E Contractor is TCC’s affiliate for the mechanical and electrical scope. Its core offer is energy efficiency as an ESCO: chiller, AHU, and cooling tower fan retrofit on an OPEX, no-CAPEX scheme. The full M&E scope stays available, inside a TCC EPC contract or standalone.

The core offer: energy efficiency with no CAPEX.
As an Energy Service Company, TMEC is paid out of the energy it saves, not from an equipment purchase. Buildings and plants can cut their electricity bill without first finding a capital budget. The largest saving is almost always in the HVAC system.
| Chiller Retrofit | In an air-conditioned building the chiller is the single largest electrical load. An aging chiller running far from its efficient point is where the largest, fastest-visible saving sits. |
|---|---|
| AHU & Fan Retrofit | An Air Handling Unit running flat out around the clock wastes fan power and cooling on rooms that are empty. Fan power falls with the cube of speed, so a small reduction in speed removes a large share of the energy. |
| Cooling Tower Fan Retrofit | Cooling tower fans are a commonly overlooked waste point: an old motor runs flat out to hold a condenser-water temperature that could in fact float. This is where fan selection and speed control feed straight back into chiller efficiency. |
| Pumps, BMS & Controls | A large share of the saving needs no major replacement, only making the system stop working when it is not needed. Retro-commissioning finds the wrong setpoints and schedules before any equipment is bought. |
One site team, two legal entities.
Civil works and M&E works require different business licences, different competency classifications, and different certifications. Splitting them into two entities lets each satisfy its own requirements without one holding the other back at tender.
For you as the owner, the split does not add a party to manage. On an EPC project the M&E scope still sits inside one contract with TCC, under one accountable party. The separation is visible only in the contract paperwork and invoicing.
| Inside a TCC EPC contract | The M&E package runs as Phase 07 of the TCC work sequence. You still deal with one contract and one accountable party. |
|---|---|
| Standalone M&E contract | For buildings where the civil works sit with another party, or existing buildings that need M&E work only. |
| Retrofit and capacity upgrade | Power upgrades, chiller replacement, compressed air extension, or fire protection upgrades in a plant that keeps producing. |
| Planned maintenance | Preventive and corrective maintenance contracts for systems we installed and for existing systems, on a recorded schedule with reports. |
What the scope covers.
Eight disciplines usually bought together, though a partial scope is equally workable.
-
Electrical Systems
From the utility connection to the machine terminal, sized from a real load schedule rather than an assumption per square metre.
- Substation, transformer, main switchboard (MDP) and distribution boards (SDP)
- Feeder cabling, busduct, tray and ladder, and power distribution to machine points
- Generator sets, AMF/ATS panels, synchronisation, and UPS for critical loads
- Capacitor banks and power factor correction
- Production lighting to a target lux level per task type, emergency lighting, and exit signage
- Lightning protection and earthing, including earth resistance measurement
- Securing the electrical operating certificate (SLO) and statutory electrical inspection
-
HVAC & Ventilation
Cooling load is calculated from the production process, not from floor area. An oversized system costs as much as an undersized one.
- Chillers, air handling units, fan coil units, VRF, and ducted splits sized to the load profile
- Ducting, diffusers, dampers, and mechanical ventilation
- Process exhaust, dust collection, and fume extraction for production areas
- Temperature and humidity controlled areas, including cleanrooms where the process demands it
- Stair pressurisation and switch room ventilation
- Testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) with a measured report
-
Plumbing & Sanitary
Potable water, process water, and drainage designed for peak demand rather than daily average.
- Potable, hot, and process water installations
- Soil, waste, and vent pipework to SNI 8153, the Indonesian plumbing standard
- Transfer pumps, booster pumps, ground and roof tanks
- Sanitaryware, floor drains, grease traps, and production area drainage
- Pipe pressure testing, flushing, and leak testing before anything is closed up
-
Fire Protection
Sprinkler requirements follow the stored commodity and its stack height. The same warehouse with different contents needs a different system.
- Building and yard hydrant systems to SNI 03-1745
- Automatic sprinkler systems per occupancy and commodity classification
- Electric, diesel, and jockey fire pumps to SNI 03-6570 and NFPA 20
- Fire alarm, control panel, smoke and heat detection, and manual call points
- Portable extinguishers and dedicated suppression for switch rooms and process areas
- Coordination of the local fire service technical clearance
-
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Effluent quality follows the project’s Environmental Approval. A system that misses it becomes a permitting problem, not merely a technical one.
- Industrial wastewater treatment matched to the effluent characteristics and the required discharge standard
- Domestic sewage treatment for offices, canteen, and worker facilities
- Raw water treatment: filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, and demineralisation
- Pretreatment ahead of the main process
- Control chambers, sump pits, and flow and quality monitoring
-
Process Utilities
The utilities that attach directly to production machinery. A capacity error here shows up immediately as a stopped line.
- Compressed air: compressors, dryers, receiver tanks, and ring main to machine points
- Steam and boiler plant with condensate return
- Chilled water, cooling towers, and process cooling water
- Industrial gases and process piping as production requires
- Machine foundations, pits, trenches, and utility tie-in points to the machine layout
-
ELV & Building Systems
The systems rarely scrutinised at tender, yet used every day by whoever operates the building.
- Data and LAN infrastructure, fibre backbone, racks and server rooms
- CCTV, access control, and attendance systems
- Public address, production area paging, and voice evacuation
- Telephony and PABX, MATV
- Building management systems and energy consumption monitoring
-
Instrumentation & Control
Where the building works meet the production machinery. This is where coordination with the machine vendor matters most.
- Control panels, PLC, HMI, and SCADA integration
- Sensors, transmitters, flow meters, and calibration
- Safety interlocks and emergency stop systems
- Tie-in coordination with the machine vendor’s technicians during installation
- Loop documentation and single line diagrams as part of the as-built set
What you receive at handover.
- M&E as-built drawings and single line diagrams
- Insulation resistance, earth resistance, pipe pressure, and flow test results
- HVAC balancing report and dust collector test results
- Electrical operating certificate (SLO) and statutory inspection certificates
- Operation and maintenance manuals per system
- Planned maintenance schedule and spare parts list
- Operator and maintenance team training

Questions we are asked
- Who determines the process utility capacity?
- Steam, compressed air, cooling, and process water capacity come from the process material and energy balance, not from floor area. On a process plant that calculation is done first by the TCC process engineering team, and its output becomes the sizing basis for the M&E work. Where a client already has their own figures, we check them against the equipment list before using them.
- How is PT. The M&E Contractor related to TCC?
- PT. The M&E Contractor is an affiliated company under the same management, carrying the mechanical and electrical scope. On an EPC project the M&E work runs as part of the TCC contract. For standalone M&E work, the contract is made directly with PT. The M&E Contractor.
- Can you take the M&E work without the civil works?
- Yes, and it is the most commonly requested scope. We come in as the M&E package on projects where the civil contractor is another party, with the responsibility boundary and tie-in points written into the contract from the start.
- Do you handle the SLO and statutory inspections?
- Yes. The electrical operating certificate and the statutory safety inspections for electrical installations, pressure vessels, and lifting equipment are part of the handover scope, not a separate extra. Without them the installation cannot legally be operated.
- Can you work in a plant that is still producing?
- Yes. The work sequence is built from your production schedule: night windows, weekends, or a planned shutdown. Every activity touching a live system has a written rollback plan before it starts.
- Are maintenance contracts available?
- Yes, both for systems we installed and for existing systems installed by others. For existing systems we run a condition survey first and issue the findings in writing before agreeing scope and price.
M&E is most often bought alongside the building scope. If your project covers both, TCC’s eight-phase work sequence sets out how the two are sequenced.
