piping solutions.
Organise plantroom connections, risers and floor branches around service zones, installation access and handover requirements.
Application guide · design inputs
Application analysis
Coordinate pipework with the building plan.
Create a separate service schedule for domestic water, closed-loop heating and equipment utilities. Record the design conditions, materials, seals and acceptance requirements for each service. Divide the building into identifiable zones with clear isolation and maintenance boundaries.
Coordinate risers, ceiling routes, penetrations and equipment connections on the building drawings. Allocate responsibility for supports, anchors, guides, movement allowances and fire-stopping interfaces. Include installation sequencing, testing and the as-built record in the package brief.
Mixed-use projects
Keep domestic-water and thermal-system specifications distinct.
Renovations
Define tie-in points and staged shutdowns around occupied areas.
Concept arrangement / 02
Make the interfaces visible.
Select a review point to inspect the source, controls and distribution of a representative utility module.

Engineering review
The inputs that change the design.
| Design input | What it changes | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Service definition | Separate potable water, thermal loops and other utilities. | Service schedule and destination-specific acceptance requirements. |
| Spatial coordination | Resolve risers, ceilings, penetrations and valve access. | Coordinated drawings and equipment connection details. |
| Movement & support | Provide a deliberate support and movement strategy. | Support loads, anchors, guides and movement assessment. |
| Handover | Make zones, installed parts and document scope traceable. | As-built schedule, test plan and maintenance information. |

Questions worth resolving
Before the specification is fixed.
How should different building services be scheduled?
Give each service its own fluid, design conditions, material, seal, connection method and acceptance requirements.
What belongs in the support brief?
Record pipe loads, support positions, anchors, guides, movement allowances and the responsibilities for structural connections.
How should staged works be organised?
Mark tie-in points, isolation boundaries, temporary-service requirements and the sequence for testing and reinstatement.
