Our Process

FROM SITE SURVEY TO CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

01

SITE INVESTIGATION

Topographic survey, soil test pit and borehole programme, geotechnical report and seismic zone classification. Foundation design parameters agreed with client within 3 weeks.

02

CONCEPT CIVIL DESIGN

Develop site layout, building arrangement, road layout and drainage concept. Prepare preliminary structural schemes for buildings, gantries and equipment foundations.

03

DETAILED STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Produce structural calculations, reinforcement drawings, formwork schedules and BOQ for all concrete and steelwork. Construction drawings issued in line with programme.

04

BUILDING SERVICES DESIGN

Design HVAC, lighting, fire detection, access control, security and earthing for all buildings. Coordinate with electrical and SCADA teams for service routes.

05

SITE SUPERVISION SUPPORT

Provide RFI responses, site query resolution, as-built drawing updates and construction inspection visits throughout civil works execution phase.
