Descriptions: You are supplied with CAD drawings of a building. Carry out full designs for the following public health engineering systems:

• Domestic hot and cold water systems (including drinking water);
• Fire fighting systems;
• Above ground drainage (excluding rainwater).

For each of the systems submit the following:

• A review of the building’s services requirements and an assessment of the client’s needs bearing mind that you are carrying out a full design for one floor only and basic design for other floors. (20 marks)
• Full descriptions, justifications and explanations of all systems specified. (20 marks)
• Details of sizing and selection calculations and schedules of selected plant, equipment and ancillaries

(20 marks)

• Installation plan drawings and schematics of all services; (15 marks)
• Detail drawings and cross sections where relevant. (15 marks)
• Further marks will be awarded for overall presentation. (10 marks)

General guidance

In descriptive sections use an appropriate technical style of English, as though presenting to a non-technical client and check all spelling and punctuation.  Aim to provide a commentary on what you have designed, rather than simply supplying calculations, schedules and drawings.

This assignment covers quite a large range of work, but your submission should be of a manageable size (suggested length, no more than 2500 words).  Whilst a strict word limit is not imposed (since much of your submission will consist of drawings, tables and calculations.) You should nevertheless aim for brevity in descriptive sections but achieve the transmission of your technical points like a quality check in a design review and avoid unnecessary “padding”, e.g. pages full of calculations or copies of manufacturers’ literature.
