Engineering Design

Civil Structural Designs: Building design and planning assessment

We provide a full range of design services ranging from basic conceptual design to detailed design. Depending on client requirements, design services typically commence with advice at the conceptual stage continuing through feasibility and preliminary design to the production of final detailed engineering designs for tender and construction purposes. We have provided this service for various categories of buildings including, multi-storied buildings as well as ‘intelligent’and green buildings as the globe shifts its focus to more sustainable forms of infrastructure.  

The application areas include business and office premises, commercial and financial centers, transportation environments, control, and communications centers, retail outlets and systems, recreational facilities, residential properties, manufacturing facilities, industrial sites, and public buildings.

Road and Highway Design Services

We provide a full range of design services for roads of any type governed by any of the acceptable major design standards. As with our civil structural designs, design services typically commence with advice at the conceptual stage continuing through feasibility and preliminary design to the production of final detailed engineering designs for tender and construction purposes.  We have provided these services for various categories of roads including, national, collector, district, urban, arterial, secondary, feeder, and community access roads as well as access roads for estates and developmental purposes. 

Our services in design include:

  • Feasibility studies;
  • Design Reviews;
  • Detailed topographic, traffic, axle load, and geotechnical surveys;
  • Conceptual design;
  • Preliminary design;
  • Detailed design;
  • Alignment design using the latest software including MX;
  • Drainage design;
  • Environmental mitigation design;
  • Soils and materials analysis;
  • Geotechnical engineering;
  • Structures including long, medium, and short span bridges, retaining structures, pedestrian Bridges, and accommodation bridges;
  • Pavement design.

Water Services design

We are proficient in the design of water supply/sewer networks design. Our expertise ranges from simple analysis and forecasting of water demands and wastewater generation to the far more complex hydraulic modelling of the water networks and sizing of pipes. Our design services include:

  • Water demand analysis and forecasting
  • Wastewater generation computation and forecasting
  • Pipeline route optioneering and optimization.
  • Hydraulic modelling
  • Network design

Hydrology and Drainage design

Sustainable water governance is vital to counteract the impacts of population growth and climate change. We devise bespoke, integrated water management solutions designing drainage infrastructure with inbuilt resilience. We also assist clients in identifying the vulnerability of their existing infrastructure to flooding, and then strengthen the defenses of their assets to maintain continuity of services even during worst-case flood events. While protection of assets during flooding is important, it is essential that the infrastructure they depend on is equally resilient to prevent cascade failures. Our services include:

  • Rainfall data analysis
  • Flood mapping
  • Hydraulic modelling
  • Drainage infrastructure (culvert) design
