Our consultancy provides comprehensive expertise in the design and engineering of convention centers, specializing in composite construction that blends RCC and structural steel to achieve large column-free spans. Architecturally, we create versatile layouts that maximize usable space while ensuring aesthetics, functionality, and visitor comfort. Civil engineering services focus on durable substructures and site development tailored to heavy usage and high footfall.

Our structural design team leverages advanced analysis and detailing to deliver safe, efficient, and economical framing systems with RCC foundations and steel superstructures that enable wide, obstruction-free halls. In parallel, our MEP services integrate HVAC, lighting, electrical, and plumbing systems optimized for large crowds and energy efficiency. By adopting BIM platforms such as Revit, we coordinate across all disciplines, reduce clashes, and enhance precision. This multidisciplinary approach ensures convention centers that are robust, flexible, and future-ready.

Exhibition Halls

We offer end-to-end engineering solutions for exhibition halls, where vast, adaptable, and column-free spaces are essential for accommodating diverse events. Architecturally, we focus on flexible layouts that can host trade shows, fairs, and large public gatherings while ensuring aesthetics, accessibility, and crowd management. Civil engineering inputs address robust foundations, pavements, and site infrastructure to support heavy footfall and service loads.

Our structural team specializes in composite RCC and steel framing systems that enable wide-span roofs and open interiors without compromising stability or economy. Alongside, our MEP services integrate efficient lighting, HVAC, electrical distribution, and plumbing systems that cater to variable occupancy and operational needs. By employing BIM tools such as Revit, we ensure seamless coordination between all disciplines, reducing clashes and optimizing constructability. This holistic approach ensures exhibition halls that are functional, scalable, and built for long-term adaptability.

Auditoriums

ECE has proven expertise in delivering auditorium buildings, where acoustics, visibility, and spacious layouts are key design drivers. Architecturally, we plan layouts that ensure unobstructed views, comfortable seating arrangements, and seamless circulation for audiences and performers alike. Civil engineering services cover durable substructures and site development designed to handle high occupancy and intensive usage.

Our structural engineering team designs efficient framing systems, often using composite RCC and structural steel, to create large-span, column-free interiors that enhance functionality and audience experience. Simultaneously, our MEP services provide specialized HVAC systems, stage lighting, electrical, and fire safety solutions tailored for auditoriums. Through BIM platforms such as Revit, we coordinate architecture, structure, and services with precision, minimizing conflicts during execution. This integrated approach enables us to deliver auditoriums that are not only technically sound and efficient but also engaging and comfortable performance spaces.

Data Centers

At ECE, we provide specialized engineering solutions for data centers, where reliability, security, and uninterrupted operations are paramount. Architecturally, we design layouts that optimize space utilization for server racks, technical rooms, and support facilities, ensuring efficient circulation and ease of maintenance. Civil engineering works focus on robust foundations, durable finishes, and site development capable of handling heavy equipment loads and continuous operations.

Our structural engineering expertise ensures resilient framing systems, often using RCC for robustness combined with steel for flexibility, designed to withstand seismic, wind, and vibration effects. In parallel, our MEP services play a critical role—delivering precision cooling, high-capacity power distribution, fire suppression, and redundant systems to guarantee uptime. By employing BIM platforms such as Revit, we achieve meticulous coordination across all disciplines, minimizing risks during execution. This integrated approach enables us to deliver data centers that are efficient, scalable, and mission-critical ready.

Distribution Center

Designing a high-performance distribution center requires seamless coordination of architectural, structural, and MEP engineering to meet fast-paced logistics and automation demands.

Architecturally, layouts focus on maximizing storage density and streamlining goods movement, with dedicated zones for inbound, outbound, packaging, and sorting.

The structural design is central to the facility’s functionality—long-span steel frames are used to eliminate internal columns, enabling uninterrupted racking layouts and smooth flow of autonomous systems. High-bay structures (12–18 meters or more) accommodate vertical storage and mezzanine levels for picking and sorting operations. Floor slabs are meticulously engineered for high load-bearing capacity, minimal deflection, and superior flatness (FM2 or better) to support heavy forklift loads and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

MEP systems integrate energy-efficient lighting, HVAC for thermal comfort, and robust electrical infrastructure to support conveyors, sorters, and automation. Our integrated approach ensures reliability, scalability, and compliance with global warehousing standards.

Cold Storage

Designing a cold storage warehouse demands integrated architectural, structural, and MEP engineering expertise.

Architecturally, thermal insulation and vapor barriers are critical to maintain low temperatures, minimize energy loss, and prevent condensation.

Structural systems must support heavy racking loads and accommodate temperature-induced material expansion/contraction—steel framing with insulated panel systems is typical. Floor slabs are engineered with vapor barriers, insulation, and glycol-based underfloor heating to prevent frost heave.

MEP systems are central to performance: HVAC systems include industrial-grade refrigeration units with redundancy and zoning controls; electrical systems must handle high loads and provide backup power; and plumbing must prevent pipe freezing. Fire protection often uses dry-pipe systems suited for sub-zero environments. Our firm’s integrated design approach ensures operational efficiency, compliance with international food safety standards, and long-term facility resilience.

Seeds Pack Facility

Our seeds processing plants integrate hygienic architectural zoning – segregating raw intake, drying, grading, treatment, and packing zones with epoxy-coated walls (FSSAI-compliant) and positive-pressure airlocks to prevent cross-contamination. Structurally, vibration-isolated RCC floors (IS 456:2000) support high-speed optical sorters and automated weigher-fillers, while steel mezzanines with grating decks enable overhead conveyor access. Roof structures feature explosion relief panels (NFPA 68) above treatment chambers handling combustible seed dust.

Critical MEP systems include:

  • Climate-controlled storage: HVAC maintaining 15–18°C/50–60% RH (ASHRAE 90.1) via desiccant dehumidifiers and HEPA filtration.
  • Dust management: Centralized aspiration networks (NFPA 61) with cyclone separators achieving 99% capture.
  • Automation-ready electrical: ATEX-rated lighting, isolated earthing for sensitive grading sensors, and UPS-backed cold rooms.

Infrastructure prioritizes utility corridors for seed pneumatic transport lines and firewater ring mains. We enforce BIM coordination to embed MEP within structural elements, ensuring compliance with APEDA norms, NBC 2016 fire codes, and seismic resilience (Zone III/IV).
