Our design and engineering team can help select the right RO system and membranes to match your water conditions and purification needs. We handle complete installation and ongoing maintenance to keep your critical water systems running efficiently for years.
Ensure Smooth Engineering From Start to Finish
Bancroft makes it a priority to set clear expectations with our clients from day one. By aligning project goals, deliverables, and timelines early on, we can create realistic critical path schedules that keep design work on track. If any specialty equipment needs to be purchased during the process, our team promptly informs you of expected lead times to avoid delays.
Secure Project Management for A to Z Planning and Execution
Bancroft’s plumbing engineers can oversee your project from initial planning to construction and commissioning. When you partner with us for your plumbing engineering job, you gain cohesive plans and seamless implementation. Our services cover:
- Plumbing system design and drawings
- Detailing specs and equipment schedules
- Evaluating and selecting vendors
- Obtaining permits
- Creating maintenance manuals
- Conducting inspections and testing
Pre-Construction Planning and Plumbing Design
The pre-construction phase is critical for identifying and avoiding potential plumbing issues down the road. Bancroft’s licensed plumbing engineers collaborate with architects, contractors, and stakeholders early on to develop comprehensive plumbing plans tailored to the building’s needs. This includes analyzing the building layout, mapping proposed fixture locations, calculating drainage pipe and venting requirements, and specifying the optimal water supply system.
Key considerations in pre-construction design include:
- Number and types of plumbing fixtures needed
- Estimated hot water demand
- Municipal water and sewer infrastructure
- Stormwater drainage requirements
- Applicable plumbing codes and regulations
Detailed Blueprint Preparation
Once the preliminary plumbing design is approved, Bancroft engineers create comprehensive technical drawings showing all the details of the plumbing system. This includes detailed plans indicating the exact locations of all supply and drainage pipes, fixtures, valves, vents, and other components.
Our blueprint drawings adhere to industry standards and include:
- Accurate measurements, pipe sizes, and fixture specifications
- Schedules listing all equipment to be installed
- Clear views of floor plans, isometrics, sections, and details
- Legends, notes, and callouts for easy understanding
Thorough plumbing blueprints eliminate guesswork during installation and are a reliable reference for future maintenance and repairs. We provide digital CAD drawings plus printed sets for bidding and construction.
