Fluids and utilities engineering: network design and performance

Fluids engineering plays a central role in the performance, comfort, and operation of buildings. Maning supports public and private project owners in the design of building fluids and utilities, integrating technical, energy, and regulatory challenges from the earliest stages of a project.

How can we support you?

Maning operates on all projects requiring technical installation engineering, for both new construction and renovation. Our teams assist project owners with needs analysis, technical network design, installation sizing, and coordination with other building trades.

Our approach aims to guarantee system reliability, consumption control, and consistency between functional, energy, and regulatory requirements.

Standards

Maning masters the standards and regulations applicable to fluid and utility installations, particularly those relating to safety, hygiene, energy performance, and occupant comfort. This regulatory expertise is integrated from the design phase to ensure project compliance and the reliability of technical installations.

Calculations

The technical fluid and utility studies carried out by Maning are based on precise and justified calculations, including network sizing, needs assessment, flow and pressure analysis, and the energy optimization of systems. These calculations are an essential lever for ensuring the performance and durability of installations.

Execution monitoring / Scheduling, Oversight, and Coordination (OPC)

Maning relies on professional calculation and modeling software dedicated to technical network engineering as well as thermal and energy engineering. These tools make studies more reliable, allow for the comparison of technical solutions, and integrate projects into a collaborative process, particularly when a BIM approach is implemented.
