Client Benefits
- Consistent site plans across all stores
- Evaluated, upgraded and reliable electrical system
- Structural analysis of renovations
EEC was requested to perform the detailed engineering design for the upgrade of several client convenience stores. A typical convenience store is approximately 4,000 square feet and the average project construction cost is $600,000. The design consisted of interior and exterior remodels and building additions to compliment marketing trends.
As a part of these projects, EEC was responsible for items such as:
- Zoning Coordination
- Property Surveys
- All Permitting
- Construction Observations and Verifications
- Contract Administration
- Civil Site Layout for Conceptual and Construction
- Utility Design
- Grading and Stormwater
- Lighting Design
- Space Planning
- ADA Compliant Design
- Structural Design for commercial wall and roof systems
- Mechanical Design for commercial HVAC systems
- Plumbing Design, including potable water, sanitary and vent systems
- Electrical Design, including service and panel boards for distribution systems and circuitry
Key Features
- Electrical service and distribution system upgrades
- Lighting Design
- Permitting
- Site Design
EEC evaluated the existing electrical service and distribution system to determine if it was adequate to support the renovation plans. The renovation plans that affected the electrical system included cooking equipment, lighting changes, HVAC upgrades, freezer additions, etc. If the existing system was not adequate for the store in question, EEC then redesigned the system to support the renovation efforts.
