3 bdp is the largest inter-disciplinary design practice in europe and this brochure highlights the technical expertise and design skill of the engineering disciplines engineering at bdp embraces a broad spectrum from civil structural environmental mechanical electrical and public health engineering as well as industry leading specialists in sustainability lighting design and acoustics we work closely with architects and designers in bringing ideas and concepts to life ­ our strength is our ingenuity which underpins the very essence of creative design and it is this approach which has made bdp a world class practice successfully delivering projects nationally and internationally we are proud of our award winning projects that span across sectors and continents projects that demonstrate how a seamless integration of engineering architecture and design is essential to create outstanding places for people all our engineers recognise the importance of contributing positively in a creative way to the holistic building design we work closely with the whole design team focusing on what can be achieved with lateral thinking while respecting constraints when engineer architect and client really understand each other amazing results can be achieved our work can inspire ideas as well as respond to them to do this we must understand the character and expression the architect is seeking and identify with his goals as well as the client s this is the essence of our integrated approach.

7 civil and structural engineers play a pivotal role in both inspiring innovative design and providing technical solutions which bring it to life bdp engineers work closely with architects both inhouse and external to challenge thinking and push the boundaries of conventional design advising clients from the earliest conceptual stages through to the completion of award-winning landmark projects bdp can bring innovation in structural engineering design to projects our aim is to produce innovative elegant and economic designs which are fully integrated with the objectives of the client and the other members of the team we are industry leaders in the use of building information modelling bim this technology enables us to offer clients earlier visualisations more accurate material quantities better supply chain management and faster build schedules sophisticated parametric design and analysis tools enable us to challenge tradition and explore innovative yet efficient structural solutions which exploit architectural form our c&s engineering team also offer a range of civil engineering services including digital ground modelling and earthworks optimisation sustainable drainage design geo-environmental site investigations and highways design.

9 the building environmental services team at bdp comprises highly skilled engineers from the professions of mechanical hvac electrical and public health all of our engineers recognise the importance of contributing positively in a creative way to integrate sustainable environmental strategies into the very essence of total building design we work closely with architects and other designers focusing on what can be achieved with lateral thinking whilst respecting constraints we utilise sophisticated computer modelling techniques to analyse the buildings energy use and performance and tailor our solutions to provide best value for money over the investment life cycle the delivery of a holistic sustainable design sits at the centre of the bdp design philosophy and bdp s specialist sustainability team provides expert advice on guidance targets and solutions for projects and clients the environmental engineering team provide expert technical input at every stage of the project from site selection and masterplanning right through to commissioning and post completion monitoring in 2008 the team won sustainable consultant of the year in the 2008 sustainable building awards.
