Mechanical Engineering R&D

Mechanical Engineering R&D Tax Credits

A sector with innovation at its core. Mechanical engineering is problem-solving today’s obstacles, across multiple industries, to make future solutions that will benefit humanity.

Mechanical engineering R&D projects can include anything from the creation of new or heavily modified HVAC systems, piping and mechanical systems, sustainable design methods and more.

Mechanical Engineering R&D Tax Credit Examples

Qualifying mechanical engineering R&D projects must attempt to “resolve a scientific or technological uncertainty”. This is when a qualified professional cannot see a solution to a problem without exploratory testing and development.

The testing must attempt to fill a knowledge gap within the industry, and change or create a new product, process or service.

Product Improvements

Qualifying R&D product projects include the testing and development of new or modified:

  1. HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) systems design
  2. Refrigeration, plumbing, and fire protection systems
  3. Piping and mechanical systems design and testing
  4. Waste, pollution and disposal treatment systems
  5. Equipment and products
  6. Pumping, heating and pressure equipment
  7. Boiling, heating and cooling equipment
  8. Sustainable design methods, potentially for LEED and BREEAM certifications
  9. Mechanical fittings, routings and equipment sizing
  10. Installation or construction techniques, equipment and methods
  11. Developing and testing prototypes

Process Improvements

Qualifying R&D product projects include the testing and development of new or modified:

  1. Engineering drawings and specifications
  2. Structural steel detailing drawings
  3. Computer aided design (CAD) modelling
  4. Building Information Modelling (BIM) for construction project collaboration
  5. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis
  6. Bespoke integrations for back-off systems and machinery
