Infrastructure Master Planning

WME have worked with various Lead Consultants on master plan studies

of different scales and provided infrastructure master plan consultancy

services.

Our holistic approach to examine the infrastructure needs of each project as

an overall system presents our Clients with opportunities to select the most

efficient development strategy.

Recognizing the reality of climate change, WME engineering experts consider

in these studies the implementation of sustainable urban planning principles

aiming at:

• Preserving the existing natural environment;

• Maintaining the existing watersheds;

• Planning energy efficient infrastructure;

• Promoting water re-use and recycling, new renewable energy sources;

• Ensuring long term water supply with high quality, safe potable water;

• Using water and power wisely by introducing new high performance

designs which focus on conservation;

• Meeting the needs of future residents while being cost-effective; and

• Protecting community well-being

Our engineering contribution to the Site Analysis and Context Masterplan

reports involve development of complete and comprehensive baseline of

infrastructure related information which function as a point of reference

throughout the subsequent project stages. The overall purpose of our analysis

is to determine the extent, location, material and capacity of the of existing

infrastructure within and adjacent to the project site; define the ability to

utilize some or the entire infrastructure; and highlight identified opportunities

and constraints related to the infrastructure.

WME infrastructure planners collaborate with the Lead Consultants in

development and evaluation of Master Plan alternatives by providing

engineering input comprising:

• Reviews of development issues associated with infrastructure works;

• Determine impacts of the alternative master plans on existing and

proposed infrastructure;

• Prepare high level infrastructure sketches for the utility services of each

master plan alternative; and

• Provide utility plot land requirements and recommendations for their

location

We develop sustainable and economic servicing strategies to ensure that

proposed infrastructure is planned with sufficient capacity to accommodate

projected loads and support the new development. Our area of expertise

encompasses the following infrastructure elements:

• Road and parking layouts;

• Storm water management

• Water supply

• Electrical power distribution

• Sewer collection and treatment

• Telecommunications

• District cooling distribution

• Firefighting system

• Irrigation
