Load Assessment
Develop or review connected loads, demand assumptions and the capacity required for the intended use.
Service overview
Design the system before the site has to solve it.
A useful electrical design converts how a building or facility will operate into coordinated technical information that can guide procurement, installation, supervision and testing. ET focuses on practical design decisions that can be understood and implemented by the project team.
Good design reduces ambiguity during construction. It connects loads, distribution, equipment locations, protection, routing and interfaces with the wider building or facility requirements.
ET / ELECTRICAL ENGINEERINGElectrical Design: disciplined technical delivery.
Scope of support
What electrical design can cover.
The exact scope is agreed for each assignment. These are the main areas clients can discuss with ET when defining the requirement.
Distribution Architecture
Plan how power is distributed from the source through main and sub-distribution points to final circuits and equipment.
Lighting & Power Layouts
Coordinate lighting points, socket outlets, equipment supplies and related electrical layouts with the project.
Single-Line & Schematic Information
Prepare clear system-level diagrams and technical relationships appropriate to the design scope.
Protection & Earthing Considerations
Address protective arrangements, earthing / bonding principles and other safety-related design requirements appropriate to the system.
Schedules & Specifications
Provide supporting technical schedules, notes or specifications needed to communicate the design for implementation.
When to engage ET
Common situations where this service is useful.
- New residential, commercial or institutional development
- Building renovation or change of use
- Electrical expansion for new equipment or floor area
- Replacement or reconfiguration of distribution systems
- Project coordination before construction
- Need for clearer electrical drawings before pricing or installation
Typical outputs
Information you can agree as part of the assignment
- Electrical design brief / basis
- Load schedules and distribution information
- Single-line or schematic diagrams where required
- Lighting, power and equipment layouts
- Technical notes, schedules or specifications
- Design revisions and clarification within the agreed scope
Working method
A clear path from requirement to action.
01
Design Brief
Confirm building use, loads, supply information, project constraints and required deliverables.
02
Engineering Development
Develop system concept, distribution approach, layouts and design calculations appropriate to the scope.
03
Coordination & Review
Coordinate with architecture, structure and other services; resolve comments and design interfaces.
04
Issue & Support
Issue agreed design information and support clarification during pricing, installation or supervision.
Prepare for the first discussion
Useful information to have ready.
- Architectural plans or measured site information
- Equipment schedules and expected loads
- Available utility / supply information
- Client operational requirements
- Known future expansion needs
- Project programme and design coordination contacts
Related expertise
Keep connected electrical responsibilities together.
Some assignments begin with one service and then require design, management, supervision, testing or energy support as the project develops.
