What makes us the premier design firm in the MENA region and Sub-Saharan Africa?
The answer comes in one all-encompassing word: Versatility.
Versatility is what allows us to meet the requirements of diverse projects and respond to the needs of different individuals. Versatility is what allows us to innovate and adapt wherever we are in the world. Versatility is also how we always manage to reconcile cost-effectiveness with great quality.
Our extensive range of engineering and design services plays a great role in enhancing this versatility as well:
ECG’s engineering services cover MEP, infrastructure, transportation and process engineering, in conjunction with a range of supplementary engineering services. These include civil and environmental engineering, together with fire protection, lighting, communications, security, and building management systems.
Our design services, on the other hand, cover Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED), Conceptual Design, Preliminary Design, Basis of Design Reports (BODRs), Schematic Design, Design Development, Detailed Design, Design Optimization, Construction Documents, Value Engineering and Computer Simulations.
We will admit we are perfectionists. When it comes to architectural design, we want to be innovative, functional, beautiful, environmentally friendly, and above all, we want to leave a legacy for the generations to come. We also want to bring all that to every possible structure. Whether it be a bridge or a highway, an exterior or an interior, we want it to shine.
Although this perfectionism keeps us up all night, it also pays off. We are very proud of our contributions to some of the most prestigious projects in the region: From landmark high-rises and mega residential compounds, to business parks and LEED compliant buildings, and from acoustics and vertical transportation to conveyor systems and much more.
LEED Certification of Ruwais Administration Building
The project aimed at conducting the studies necessary to obtain the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the existing GASCO Administration Building. The building is a two-floor (ground floor + first floor) concrete structure with a floor area of approximately 3,414 m2 over a total plot area of 25,000 m2.
Completed at the end of 2009, the building started operation early in 2010. It is located inside the Ruwais Industrial Complex on the Arabian Gulf coast, approximately 230 km west of Abu Dhabi.
ECG conducted a full technical and commercial study to evaluate the potential for obtaining LEED certification and to identify the possible level of certification under LEED 2009 Operations and Maintenance (LEED O&M). ECG’s scope also included the engineering consultancy services necessary for the implementation of design and system modifications in line with LEED certification requirements.
