Engineering services
Civil engineering for stormwater, earthworks and site levels KAD Consulting Engineers
Selected civil engineering for stormwater control and practical site development.
Selected civil engineering for building infrastructure
Where included in the appointment, KAD provides stormwater attenuation calculations and layouts, drainage-related planning, bulk-earthworks information and platform-level coordination around the development, site constraints and applicable authority requirements.
Stormwater, drainage and earthworks applications
- Stormwater attenuation calculations and layouts
- Surface-water routes and drainage planning
- Bulk earthworks and cut-and-fill coordination
- Building platforms and terraces
- Subsurface drainage where specifically appointed
Coordinating stormwater with site levels
The appointment is shaped around the project stage, available information, interfaces and the engineering output required.
-
Understand the project
We review the brief, architectural information, site constraints, available records and proposed construction. Missing information, assumptions and specialist inputs are identified early.
-
Coordinate the design
Structural and civil requirements are coordinated with the architect, services information, geotechnical input and wider consultant team. Revit is used where appropriate.
-
Develop practical solutions
The design considers structural performance, available materials, construction sequence, access, temporary conditions and the contractor’s ability to build the permanent works.
-
Document the work clearly
Engineering layouts, sections, details, reinforcement information and coordinated model outputs are prepared for their intended purpose.
Roads and broader municipal infrastructure
KAD's advertised civil scope is associated with building development, stormwater, earthworks and site levels. KAD does not advertise road design or broader municipal infrastructure, wet-services, sewer, bulk-water or process-treatment services.
These selected civil engineering services are delivered by KAD Consulting Engineers, a Durban-based practice registered with ECSA and NHBRC.
Information that helps define the scope
- Project location, current stage and required engineering input
- Latest architectural and relevant consultant information
- Available geotechnical or existing-structure information
- Anticipated construction programme and key project constraints
Discuss the project requirements
Send the location, project stage and available design information. KAD will review the enquiry and advise on scope, availability and the next step.
