Facilities Planning - Engineering Help

Civil and Environmental Engineering

The various disciplines of civil and environmental engineering are used to help ministries facing problems related to their ministry's property. Topographical maps of project sites containing contour, road, structure and utility locations assist in site planning. Studies may be done to develop sanitary sewer and water systems to meet local codes. Site grading and drainage plans help to minimize erosion problems to areas experiencing heavy rains and water run-off. Development plans for Recreational Vehicle (RV) sites help camps and conference centers expand their accommodation capabilities.

Electrical Engineering

Electrical systems design typically focus on the lighting, wiring, air conditioning and heating systems, fire alarm systems, and kitchen equipment systems for new structures. In addition, the design of electrical generating systems provides for the electrical needs of ministries located in remote areas.

Mechanical Engineering (HVAC & Plumbing)

Mechanical engineering projects provide design expertise for the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing systems of many projects. In order to provide an interior environment that is conducive to public use, whether through dining, meetings and other group activities, the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system must provide a constant source of heated or cooled air. With more ministries desiring year-around usage for their facilities rather than short-term seasonal occupancy, heating, ventilating and air conditioning units are becoming a critical part of the overall design of facilities. In conjunction with these systems, hot and cold water services and piping for waste water are incorporated into the design.

Structural Engineering

Structural engineering projects include facilities as simple as one-room cabins to complicated multi-story office buildings. Foundations, walls, floors, roofs and other systems are designed to provide a safe and usable ministry area within the facility. Various building materials, such as concrete, masonry, steel and wood are blended into the structural system to accomplish the goals of safety and serviceability.
