Services03 Engineering advisory

Engineering you can stand behind.

Design decisions made early are the hardest to undo. We review electrical, mechanical, civil, fire, security and telecom design from the owner’s side, so the facility you build is the one you need.

What it coversMultidiscipline electrical, mechanical, civil/utilities, fire protection, security/telecom and facility engineering.

Who it's for

Owners, operators, developers, and A/E and EPC firms

When to engage

From basis of design through issued-for-construction drawings

What you leave with

A reviewed design, a tracked comment log and decisions on record

How an engagement runs

From basis of design to construction issue

We test the design against your requirements at every stage, before it is expensive to change.

Phase 01

Basis

We confirm the design criteria match what the business needs: load, density, redundancy, efficiency and room to grow.

Deliverable

Basis of design review

Phase 02

Concept

We compare topologies and systems on reliability, cost, efficiency and schedule, and record why the chosen option won.

Options assessment

Phase 03

Review

We review drawings and specifications across every discipline at each milestone, and track every comment to a close.

Phase 04

Coordinate

We check that disciplines fit together, that the design can be built and maintained, and that nothing is left between scopes.

Phase 05

Issue

We confirm open items are closed and the package issued for construction reflects the decisions made along the way.

How we work

Every design decision should trace back to a requirement you agreed to.

Requirements first

Criteria are fixed before options are compared.

Every comment closed

Review comments are tracked until they are resolved.

Built to be run

Designs are checked for maintainability, not just compliance.

What we cover

Six disciplines, one coordinated design.

We cover each one with senior engineers and review how they meet, which is where most problems start.

01

Electrical

Utility service, medium and low voltage distribution, generators, UPS and redundancy topology, sized to the load and the uptime target.

02

Mechanical

Cooling plant, air and liquid cooling strategy, controls and efficiency, matched to rack density and climate.

03

Civil and utilities

Grading, drainage, structures and utility routing coordinated with site constraints and future phases.

04

Fire protection

Detection, suppression and life safety design reviewed against code and the operating needs of live halls.

05

Security and telecom

Physical security layers, access control, carrier entry, meet-me rooms and structured cabling pathways.

06

Facility engineering

Maintainability, concurrent maintenance, monitoring and the operating procedures the design has to support.
