Engineering solutions/
A fully integrated approach for grocery, foodservice, convenience retail, big box, and specialty retail.
WD Partners’ Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Foodservice engineers are part of a global practice focused on our retail and foodservice clients’ “critical to quality” needs.
Integrating engineering and architectural design can significantly reduce construction, energy and operating costs, and ultimately expedite time-to-market. It not only streamlines the development processes, it helps us achieve our clients’ aesthetic and financial goals. WD Engineers “think like a customer and act like an owner,” delivering on time and on budget.
Site and Civil Engineering
Developers frequently turn to local representation out of habit, but WD Partners offers a more efficient alternative. We utilize our understanding of the entire development process to help retailers make quick, yet informed decisions about the viability and potential costs of sites. Knowledgeable about regional/local requirements as well as national rollout, WD can expedite the approval process, increasing the predictability of projects.
MEP Engineering
WD engineers fully understand how critical lighting, temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality is to both customers and merchandise. WD Partners can design or renovate existing retail space to include new or supplemental HVAC design, electrical service upgrade, lighting design, refrigeration, and enhanced control systems to create an effective shopping environment.
Structural Engineering
Our experience extends across diverse geographical areas, from high earthquake zones to hurricane-prone areas. Designing safe and strong buildings need not be expensive. In addition, innovative structural design will control risks, and translate into savings across an entire real estate portfolio.
Foodservice
Our foodservice specialists work side by side with our in-house engineers and architects to help design foodservice applications and kitchens that are efficient, functional and innovative. Our understanding of kitchen design, equipment selection and layout allows delivering practical solutions that are energy efficient with lower maintenance and easy operation.
