This ambitious project by DE&F Engineering Limited involves the design and development of a 7-story concrete structure in San Pedro Town, earmarked for Coconuts Caribe’s Phase 2 expansion. The structure is envisioned to be a modern, multi-functional building, catering to both commercial and residential needs. DE&F Engineering Limited’s role is to provide comprehensive design and engineering drawings, ensuring the building is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound, sustainable, and compliant with all local building codes and regulations.

Project Challenge
The primary challenge of this project lies in designing a high-rise structure in a coastal town, which requires careful consideration of environmental factors such as potential hurricane impacts, flooding, and saltwater corrosion. Additionally, there’s the complexity of integrating multiple usages within a single building while ensuring optimal space utilization, accessibility, and safety. Balancing modern architectural demands with structural integrity and environmental sustainability in a bustling urban setting adds another layer of complexity.

Project Solution
To overcome these challenges, DE&F Engineering will employ state-of-the-art design methodologies and materials suited for coastal environments. The design will feature reinforced concrete with corrosion-resistant properties and a foundation engineered to withstand potential natural disasters, particularly hurricanes and floods. The building layout will be strategically planned to maximize space efficiency, natural light, and ventilation, reducing energy consumption and enhancing occupant comfort. Advanced modeling and simulation tools will be used to ensure the building’s structural integrity and compliance with all safety standards. The project will also prioritize eco-friendly practices, aiming for sustainability in both construction and operation phases. By addressing these key areas, DE&F Engineering intends to deliver a landmark structure that sets a new standard for urban development in San Pedro Town
