Introduced by our founder, Sir Ove Arup, the integrated design

concept requires the involvement of all professional design and

engineering disciplines in the design process, in which all design

aspects are considered thoroughly and integrated into a whole.

This concept denes not only the company structure but also our

client relationships. Arup believes that successful projects result

from engaging the client at the beginning of the assignment.

Our teams form close relationships with our clients that continue

to completion and beyond.

We are renowned for our multidisciplinary skills from planning

and architecture to building design incorporating structural, civil,

MEP engineering and other specialist skills.

We adopt a holisticapproach to any project, which enables us to offer

an integrated designservice to our clients.

Arup draws upon skills and

capabilities from diverse

disciplines to seek ever better

ways to imagine, design and shapethe built environment.

Sir Ove Arup was an engineer and

a philosopher, the founder of Arup

and the source of our f irm’s values.

He believed wholeheartedly in totaldesign and advocated the social

usefulness of engineers. His lasting

legacy is the positive impact Arup

makes on the built environment

and for us, this means to shape

a better world.

12/32

Arup works across all building types – from super high-rises to

street level and below, from luxury to modest settlements, and

at all scales – from the tiniest detail to complex mutidisciplinary

projects for entire cities.

With a range of skills that include structural, mechanical,

electrical, public health engineering to building physics, façade

design, and vertical transportation, our building designers

also work closely with our specialists in acoustics, re safety,

wind engineering, seismic, computational uid dynamics and

programme and project management.

Alongside realising exciting forms, our designers are equally

focused on the challenges of making tomorrow’s buildings greener,

safer, more adaptable for future changes, and more comfortable for

people to use.

Sustainable building design is the focus and approach of everyone

engaged in building design at Arup. By working to improve the

lifecycle performance of the built environment – from concept to

construction, through operation, adaptation and retrotting – Arup

is enabling clients to achieve sustainable outcomes and best value

throughout projects and across their portfolios.

Through creative collaborations with talented architects and

designers, we have successfully delivered some of the most

challenging and iconic structures in the region and around

the world.

We are internationally renowned for realising unusual shapes

and super skyscrapers. At the forefront of ambitious tall

building design, we have pioneered numerous innovative

solutions such as the use of high strength concrete and

concrete lled tubes. Our engineers and designers are also

uent in cutting-edge geotechnical engineering and seismic

technologies, which makes us best placed to realise themaximum development potential for tall buildings.

Arup leads the eld in the design of foundations and deep

basements, both in Asia and around the world. The need to

minimise ground movements and the typically congested

areas where tall buildings are constructed drives the design

process. Ground conditions vary and Arup has the knowledge

and expertise to provide innovative and practicable solutions

to difcult geological and foundation conditions.

Arup has introduced many new technologies to this region

such as the implementation of shaft-grouted barrettes and

piles for tall buildings in Hong Kong and overseas.

Rail is an environmentally friendly mode of travel. However,

rail stations and the auxiliary services required to run rail are

traditionally energy-intensive facilities. Arup tackles these

challenging issues with great success, embedding energy

saving strategies such as natural ventilation and light,

in station design.

Arup has worked with developers and architects on waterside

sites, applying creative designs at the water’s edge tominimise cost and risk and maximise returns.

As the population continues to grow, there is an increasing

need and recognition of the value of designing quality urban

places of habitation. Achieving this requires an approach that

encompasses urban design, planning, transport, landscape,

infrastructure, sociology and economics.

The location of a waterfront site provides major

opportunities for generating added value for a developer.

There are a number of associated issues often overlooked

or underestimated, such as f lood defences, groundconditions and statutory controls which can have a major

effect on a scheme. This requires careful integration of

development levels and infrastructure with flood defences

and accommodating water users to optimise interaction and

benefits from the location.

Arup has been at the forefront of design review in Vietnam

and surrounding countries for the last decades. Our designreview projects have ensured that the latest generation

high-rise buildings and mega infrastructure projects comply

with local design codes. This in turn has provided a high

degree of safety for project users.

Because of our extensive experience in design reviews,

our senior staff have contributed their expertise in

formulating the local codes of practice for peer reviews.

As reviewers we provide guidance as necessary, and

challenge the design team to demonstrate that they have

the appropriate resources and processes to implement best practice.
