This approach contributes to the creation of resilient systems that meet today’s needs while adapting to the energy infrastructure of the future. Gazi Coşkun Elektrik explained the importance, areas of use, and frequently asked questions regarding engineering and project design services.

What Is Electrical Engineering and Project Design?

Electrical engineering and project design refer to the process of technically designing and preparing for implementation the systems required for the generation, transmission, distribution, and safe use of electrical energy needed by buildings and industrial facilities. Within this scope, lighting, power systems, weak current systems (fire detection, data and communication infrastructures, etc.), and automation systems are planned and designed in accordance with national regulations and international standards (such as IEC and IEEE). Properly prepared engineering projects reduce the risk of errors during the implementation process. 

What Are Electrical Engineering and Project Design Services?

Electrical engineering and project design include the stages of structuring electrical systems through scientific calculations, preparing technical diagrams, and planning them in compliance with current standards. These studies, carried out before the construction or implementation phase, ensure that systems operate safely, efficiently, and uninterruptedly while helping prevent possible technical risks and cost losses. The engineering and project design services offered are as follows:

Survey and Implementation Projects

This is an engineering process that includes the detailed on-site examination of existing facilities, measurement, and evaluation of system performance through technical analyses. For facility revisions or new investments, the physical structure and energy capacity of the site are examined, and electrical project design studies forming the basis for implementation are carried out.

Load Schedules and Single-Line Diagrams

This involves performing load calculations for electrical power distribution systems and creating technical diagrams that show the operating structure of the system. During this process, short-circuit and voltage drop analyses are conducted within the scope of engineering calculations to ensure safe and efficient energy distribution.

Quantity Survey, Takeoff, and Cost Studies

This includes determining the quantities of materials to be used in projects, preparing cost analyses, and budgeting implementation processes.

As-Built (Revised Final Status) Projects

This refers to transferring the final on-site condition of completed systems into technical drawings. These projects are prepared to accurately document the current structure of the facility and establish infrastructure for future maintenance or revision work. In addition, software such as AutoCAD or Revit is used during the drawing and modeling process to prepare single-line diagrams and floor plans. The developed projects are submitted to electricity distribution companies and related institutions for approval. 

What Are the Main Elements of Electrical Engineering and Project Design?

Power Systems: These systems aim to distribute energy safely, efficiently, and continuously and include medium-voltage transformer substations, main distribution and compensation panels, generator groups, cable carrying systems, and lighting designs.

Weak Current Systems: These systems create the smart and secure communication infrastructure of the project and include the integrated planning of fire detection and alarm systems, CCTV security, data/network, card access, emergency announcement, and sound systems.

Load Calculations and Electrical Design: By analyzing the total power demand of the facility, voltage drop and short-circuit calculations are performed, and cable cross-sections and switchgear materials are dimensioned according to international standards.

Grounding and Lightning Protection Systems: This includes the design of grounding installations, lightning protection systems, and surge protection systems that protect sensitive devices in order to ensure life and property safety.

Why Are Engineering and Project Design Services Necessary?

Engineering and project design services play a vital role in many critical areas, from fulfilling legal obligations to occupational safety, cost savings, and ease of implementation.

• They Are Mandatory for Completing Legal Procedures

For the completion of official procedures such as electricity subscriptions and occupancy permits, one of the fundamental requirements is the preparation of approved projects for the structure. Electricity distribution companies and relevant official institutions do not provide energy connections without projects documented to comply with technical standards.  Therefore, project design plays a critical role in the complete fulfillment of legal procedures.

•  Ensures Life and Property Safety

When electrical systems are not properly designed, they may create serious safety risks. Thanks to engineering calculations, all components of the system are selected and protected correctly. With suitable fuses and protection elements, properly sized cables, and effective grounding systems, the risks of electric shock, short circuits, and fire are minimized.

• Reduces Project Costs

Proper engineering calculations prevent unnecessary material usage. Instead of oversized cables, panels, or equipment, the most suitable solutions for the system are determined. This both reduces the initial investment cost and ensures the efficient use of resources.

• Accelerates the Implementation Process and Reduces Errors

Project design provides a clear and applicable roadmap for teams working on-site. Thus, assembly and installation processes are carried out more quickly, systematically, and without errors. Time losses and additional costs resulting from incorrect applications are significantly prevented. 

What Are the Areas of Use for Electrical Engineering Projects?

Electrical engineering projects are widely preferred in areas ranging from living spaces to industrial facilities, from energy production to critical infrastructures.

• Residential and Commercial Buildings:  This is the most commonly encountered project group in daily life and ensures that buildings are energized safely, efficiently, and sustainably. Within this framework, indoor and outdoor lighting calculations, energy-efficient systems, and appropriate socket placements are planned for lighting and socket installations. Weak current systems including fire detection, CCTV cameras, intercom, internet, and satellite infrastructures are designed. Lightning protection and grounding applications guarantee the protection of the structure against lightning and ensure electrical safety.
• Industrial Facilities and Factories: These are systems designed to provide uninterrupted, safe, and efficient energy management in production facilities with high energy demand. In order to guarantee energy continuity and the safe performance of motors throughout the system, high-standard main distribution panels (MDP) and motor control center (MCC) units are commissioned. Through compensation systems, reactive power control is performed to increase energy efficiency and prevent possible penalty costs. On the other hand, PLC and SCADA-based automation systems make it possible to manage production lines automatically, traceably, and in a controlled manner.
• Energy Generation, Transmission, and Distribution Systems: These are large-scale infrastructure projects that enable electricity to reach end users from the point of generation. Within this scope, clean energy production is carried out through solar power plants (SPP) and wind power plants (WPP) within renewable energy systems. Through transformer substations, high-voltage electrical energy is converted into low voltage suitable for usage levels. Thanks to power transmission lines, the generated electricity is transmitted safely and continuously between cities and regions.
• Infrastructure Systems and Smart Cities: These systems, aimed at managing modern cities more efficiently, safely, and sustainably, integrate secure infrastructure, energy efficiency, and sustainability elements within a unified structure. Within this scope, smart lighting systems provide energy efficiency by being automatically controlled according to traffic density and daylight. Electric vehicle charging stations support the use of electric vehicles by creating widespread infrastructure throughout the city. Traffic signaling systems improve transportation safety and flow by regulating traffic at intersections through electrical and automatic control mechanisms.
• Healthcare and Critical Facilities (Data Centers): Hospitals, data centers, and similar critical areas are structures where high-security and uninterrupted energy systems are used because power interruptions are unacceptable. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) used in these areas ensure that systems are instantly powered and operational continuity is maintained when grid electricity is interrupted. Generator systems provide redundancy by meeting long-term energy needs. Isolated power systems increase electrical safety and minimize possible risks, especially in sensitive areas such as operating rooms.

How Are Electrical Engineering and Project Design Prices Determined?

Electrical engineering and project design prices are determined by considering the total construction area of the building (on a square meter basis), the intended use and technical features of the project, as well as the minimum fee tariffs of the Chamber of Electrical Engineers (EMO), which are updated annually. The engineering service fee used as the basis for calculation is multiplied by coefficients applied according to the project class and regional differences together with the evaluation made based on the building area, and the final price is calculated. In addition, whether the project is for licensing, implementation, or as-built purposes and whether it includes additional technical requirements such as transformer substations, generator systems, or automation are among the factors that directly affect the cost.
