Concept Engineering

(Civil and Environmental)

EDM prepares a conceptual design for both  civil and environmental engineering infrastructure at the same time as we prepare our plans.

Early integration compels us to fully explore  cost and engineering/construction implications long before a plan is complete. The result:  innovative plans that are also constructible.

Conceptual engineering is the process of defining and budgeting the engineering projects that are necessary to implement a plan.

For example, concept engineering for sewage treatment would involve, establishing the need for treatment, determining the right location for treatment, identifying the treatment performance criteria, defining the appropriate means of discharge including water reuse, and comparing budget cost estimates for different options.
