MEP design for large-scale buildings: the challenges of a 29-storey tower
Over 110,000 m² of floor area, thousands of equipment points. Zoning, load calculation and quantity control in large-scale MEP design.
Large-scale MEP design becomes manageable when the work is divided into zones and coordination milestones.
Use zoning to control information.
Functional and floor zoning helps the team define loads, equipment and operational requirements for each part of the building. Clear boundaries also support coordination between teams.
Equipment and system schedules need to stay aligned when the design scope changes.
Maintain a coordination rhythm.
Regular reviews let the team spot differences before they spread to other areas. Each review should produce clear actions for the next delivery step.
