Introduced by our founder, Sir Ove Arup, the integrated design
concept requires the involvement of all professional design and
engineering disciplines in the design process, in which all design
aspects are considered thoroughly and integrated into a whole.
This concept denes not only the company structure but also our
client relationships. Arup believes that successful projects result
from engaging the client at the beginning of the assignment.
Our teams form close relationships with our clients that continue
to completion and beyond.
We are renowned for our multidisciplinary skills from planning
and architecture to building design incorporating structural, civil,
MEP engineering and other specialist skills.
We adopt a holisticapproach to any project, which enables us to offer
an integrated designservice to our clients.

Through creative collaborations with talented architects and
designers, we have successfully delivered some of the most
challenging and iconic structures in the region and around
the world.
We are internationally renowned for realising unusual shapes
and super skyscrapers. At the forefront of ambitious tall
building design, we have pioneered numerous innovative
solutions such as the use of high strength concrete and
concrete lled tubes. Our engineers and designers are also
uent in cutting-edge geotechnical engineering and seismic
technologies, which makes us best placed to realise themaximum development potential for tall buildings.
Arup leads the eld in the design of foundations and deep
basements, both in Asia and around the world. The need to
minimise ground movements and the typically congested
areas where tall buildings are constructed drives the design
process. Ground conditions vary and Arup has the knowledge
and expertise to provide innovative and practicable solutions
to difcult geological and foundation conditions.
Arup has introduced many new technologies to this region
such as the implementation of shaft-grouted barrettes and
piles for tall buildings in Hong Kong and overseas.

Rail is an environmentally friendly mode of travel. However,
rail stations and the auxiliary services required to run rail are
traditionally energy-intensive facilities. Arup tackles these
challenging issues with great success, embedding energy
saving strategies such as natural ventilation and light,
in station design.

As the population continues to grow, there is an increasing
need and recognition of the value of designing quality urban
places of habitation. Achieving this requires an approach that
encompasses urban design, planning, transport, landscape,
infrastructure, sociology and economics.
The location of a waterfront site provides major
opportunities for generating added value for a developer.
There are a number of associated issues often overlooked
or underestimated, such as f lood defences, groundconditions and statutory controls which can have a major
effect on a scheme. This requires careful integration of
development levels and infrastructure with flood defences
and accommodating water users to optimise interaction and
benefits from the location.
Arup has been at the forefront of design review in Vietnam
and surrounding countries for the last decades. Our designreview projects have ensured that the latest generation
high-rise buildings and mega infrastructure projects comply
with local design codes. This in turn has provided a high
degree of safety for project users.
Because of our extensive experience in design reviews,
our senior staff have contributed their expertise in
formulating the local codes of practice for peer reviews.
As reviewers we provide guidance as necessary, and
challenge the design team to demonstrate that they have
the appropriate resources and processes to implement best practice.
