At ECG, we understand that master planning guides growth and development, and as such is paramount to the future success of all projects. This is why we really give it our all.
Our master planning approach covers urban planning, land-use planning, transportation facilities, open spaces, and public services, as well as environment and heritage conservation precincts; and if this is not enough, we conduct a broad range of other studies pertaining to air, soil, water, health, and safety.
These studies include Economic Impact Analyses, Energy Efficiency Potential Studies, Environmental Impact Assessments, Feasibility Studies, Geotechnical & Ground Engineering Studies, GIS Studies, Hazard & Operability Studies (HAZOP), Hydrologic & Hydraulic Studies, Land Valuations, Marketing Researches, Population Studies, Real Estate & Asset Appraisals, Social Impact Assessments, Solid Waste Management Studies, Traffic Impact Assessments, Urban Development Studies, and water, air, and soil characterizations.
This meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive approach has paid off. Today, we are the trusted name in the field of engineering consultancy both nationally and globally. In addition, we take great pride in that.
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.
