1-04-01.a INTRODUCTION
The general engineering design for the
Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing,
Food Services, Fire/Life Safety, Security,
Telecommunications, Conveying Systems,
Acoustics, and Audio Visual Systems will be
governed by the parameters set forth in the
Master Plan, the local and international
building codes, and the precedents set forth
by other Education buildings further along
in the design process.
The design team has reviewed available
information from Education projects already
underway at Kuwait City, taking into
consideration what building engineering
systems are being utilized on those
projects. In order not to deviate significantly
from the technical, where possible we will
follow in a similar fashion.

1-04-05.a PLUMBING
OBJECTIVE
One of the Site Plan Environmental
Sustainability Objectives is to conserve
water. This goal will be accomplished by
water resource management techniques
along with on-site wastewater treatment,
grey water reuse (for irrigation and cooling),
and use of low water consumption fixtures.
OVERALL DESIGN
The overall plumbing design will be finalized
after the architectural and structural
schemes have been developed. With
current knowledge in hand, we can assume
that the domestic water supply for each
building will come from the site water ring
main. This water will be metered and fed
into water storage tanks located within the
buildings. Water storage tanks will be sized
to accommodate two days worth of
domestic water use.
