WME works with and provides consultancy services to many Lead Consultants on masterplan studies of different scales.

Our holistic approach to examining the infrastructure needs of each project as an overall system presents our Clients with opportunities to select the most efficient development strategy. Recognizing the reality of climate change, WME engineering experts consider in these studies the implementation of sustainable urban planning principles aiming at:

  • Preserving the existing natural environment;
  • Maintaining the existing watersheds;
  • Planning energy efficient infrastructure;
  • Promoting water re-use and recycling, new renewable energy sources;
  • Ensuring long term water supply with high quality, safe potable water;
  • Using water and power wisely by introducing new high performance designs which focus on conservation;
  • Meeting the needs of future residents while being cost-effective; and
  • Protecting community well-being

Our engineering contribution to the Site Analysis and Context Masterplan reports involve development of complete and comprehensive baseline of infrastructure related information which function as a point of reference throughout the subsequent project stages. The overall purpose of our analysis is to determine the extent, location, material and capacity of the of existing infrastructure within and adjacent to the project site; define the ability to utilize some or the entire infrastructure; and highlight identified opportunities and constraints related to the infrastructure.
