A Complex Engineering Puzzle
The primary challenge was designing a fire protection system for a high-rise structure that met the stringent requirements of the Karachi Building Control Authority (KBCA) and Civil Defense, including dedicated fire water storage and multi-zone pressurization. For the plumbing, the challenge was to engineer a system that could consistently deliver high water pressure to the upper floors and manage the high-volume drainage and waste from over 150 residential apartments and ground-floor commercial shops without risk of failure.
Innovative & Efficient
Our team engineered and installed a comprehensive fire safety system, including dedicated fire pumps, a wet riser for firefighting on all floors, and an automated sprinkler and smoke detection network. For the plumbing, we designed a hydro-pneumatic booster system to ensure adequate water pressure at all levels. A separate, large-diameter uPVC drainage and vent stack system was installed to handle the high load, preventing backflow and ensuring efficient, hygienic waste disposal for the entire tower.
Key Project Outcomes
Received all necessary No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from KBCA and Civil Defense for fire safety.
Ensured a reliable and high-pressure water supply to all residential and commercial units, up to the 20th floor.
Engineered a zero-failure drainage system capable of handling peak load from hundreds of occupants.
Delivered a safe, compliant, and fully functional MEP system, adding significant value and safety to the property.
“For a high-rise project like Al Basit Grand, safety and long-term reliability are paramount. Their team's expertise in designing compliant fire and plumbing systems for tall buildings was invaluable. They delivered a high-quality installation and expertly managed all authority approvals, which was critical for our project's success.”
