What does engineering infrastructure design include?
Engineering infrastructure design provides the external networks, facilities and technical connections required for the proper operation of a property, building or complex. It includes solutions for water supply, sewage, power supply, drainage, site networks and connections to the existing urban infrastructure.
IPA - Architecture and more develops engineering infrastructure design for residential, public, office, commercial, industrial, logistics and mixed-use projects. The process starts with an analysis of existing networks, technical conditions, utility company requirements, site access, infrastructure capacity and terrain constraints.
Depending on the specifics of the project, engineering infrastructure may include water supply and sewage connections, power supply, communication network routes, stormwater drainage, drainage solutions, site installations and facilities required for the operation of the building.
In new construction projects, existing infrastructure often needs to be relocated, protected or adapted. This requires early coordination with the design disciplines, institutions and utility companies in order to avoid delays, technical conflicts and later-stage design changes.
Engineering infrastructure design is coordinated with road and transport infrastructure, geodesy and site terrain modeling and project coordination and approval. This provides an integrated technical solution in which the building, site and external networks function as one system.
