DESIGN METHODOLOGY

Before commencement of designs, a thorough study of all the critical by the experts. The construction methodology and sequencing of works is finalized in consultation with contractors. The design methodology is discussed and finalized at the start and then designs for structures are taken up.
Analysis and design of the temporary/ permanent retaining structures/ slope protection works are being done using state of the art tools 

ARCHITECTURAL WORKS

We have Architectural design capabilities for Underground as well as Elevated Stations. The architectural designs are performed in line with the local codal requirements. BIM is deployed as a default tool to coordinate space requirements and finishes.

BIM APPLICATION

Production of drawings is performed using current BIM technology wherein clash-free coordinated models are made and all interface issues/clashes with architecture and MEP are resolved in the production stage. All the Good For Construction drawings are directly extracted from the models thus eliminating any errors in the design documentation. 

In traditional project delivery methods, fragmentation has been the case that often starves off collaboration to create communication gaps. When the client and the construction team share a common goal on the project, conflicts are reduced, and the focus is on the project. This enhances cooperation, better stakeholder management and improves chances of a successful delivery outcome. We design our project by BIM  with the following advantages:

• Eliminate costly and timely traditional construction mock-ups
• Different design options and alternatives can be easily and quickly remodelled to accommodate end-users and/or owner feedbacks
• Create a shorter and more efficient design and design review process
• Evaluate the effectiveness of design, in meeting building program criteria and owner’s needs
• Enhance the health, safety and welfare performance of their projects (for instance, BIM can be used to analyze and compare fire-rated egress enclosures, automatic sprinkler system designs, and alternate stair layouts
• Ensuring a full life cycle documentation of all components on the project
• Knowledge transfer without gaps or loss of information between phases of the project
• One source of truth for all project participants and stakeholders
• Ensures the best possible outset for maintenance regimes when in operation, by having all the relevant information in one location.

Egress facilities and ventilation always play a central role and are handled by our team in a fully integrated manner. We are  very familiar with the fire safety specific standards in many countries. . It is paramount to determine at the very beginning of a project the normative foundations and the safety principles that will be used throughout the project to allow an optimized design of the different works from the outset. We develop risk analysis, safety concepts and emergency planning, together  wth the ventilation system for metro tunnels and stations.

The construction of underground structures in urban surroundings is challenged with limited space availability in nearly all aspects. 

To ensure that this complex interaction of different aspects is aligned and provides the best possible execution, the process and logic of all variables require diligent and competent attention from the outset. Just in time delivery at the right moment to the right location allows big savings in time and money and increases the quality of the construction the more is pre-fabricationi technologies goes along with it.
 

To conserve value, we offer periodic state assessments, strategic value-conservation planning with budgeting and programming, as well as overall planning and supervision of maintenance, refurbishments and conversions.
