What is plumbing design?

Plumbing systems should be practical, safe and efficient whilst obviating the development of systemic problems.

Plumbing design engineers plan the most efficient layouts of distribution pipes that incorporate any features needed to accommodate the client’s specific performance needs.

Systems must be ‘fit for the purpose’ intended and this can only be achieved through engineering design.

Why do I need to design plumbing?

Plumbing needs to be designed as carefully as any other aspect of your building. Plumbing design engineers work closely with other engineers to make sure plumbing is integrated in the most efficient and logical ways possible, with the shortest routes that complement your building's architecture and avoid other utilities.

A well-designed plumbing system will function reliably and with minimal maintenance for many years, and it won't impact on the safety or security of your building. If you're concerned about your environmental impact, sustainable plumbing design uses passive design to help recycle air, water and waste.

Where is plumbing design needed?

Good design is important for all plumbing fixtures in buildings, including:

  • Residential plumbing for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and gardens
  • Commercial, industrial and civic plumbing installations.
  • Potable water systems
  • Hot water systems
  • Fire suppression systems
  • Stormwater drainage
  • Sewer drains
  • LP or natural gas

Plumbing engineers can plan and size lines for your building by taking a comprehensive whole of building approach and will advise you on all the services needed for your project to become a reality.
