Engineering Water Systems for Better Building Performance
Water is one of the most essential resources within any development. How it is supplied, distributed, used, treated and discharged has a direct impact on building operations, hygiene, efficiency and long-term resource management.
Stratum provides Public Health Engineering consultancy for residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, institutional, industrial and large-scale developments. Our PHE solutions cover water supply and distribution, plumbing and sanitation, sewage management, storm
Water Planning That Starts with the Building
Every development has a different water demand and usage pattern. Occupancy, building type, site conditions, water availability, drainage requirements and operational needs all influence how PHE systems should be planned.
Our engineers study these requirements before developing the water supply, plumbing, drainage and treatment strategy.
The focus is on creating systems that distribute water effectively, manage wastewater responsibly and integrate with the architecture and other building services. Where relevant, rainwater harvesting, water reuse and groundwater recharge are considered as part of the overall approach.
What We Offer
Stratum’s Public Health Engineering services cover the movement and management of water throughout the development—from incoming supply and distribution to collection, treatment, reuse and drainage.

Designed for Responsible Water Management
Public Health Engineering is not only about getting water into and out of a building. Good engineering considers how efficiently that water can be managed throughout its journey.
Water-saving fixtures, rainwater harvesting and reuse of treated wastewater can form part of the design strategy where appropriate to the project. These measures can help reduce dependence on freshwater resources while supporting more responsible building operations.
At Stratum, these considerations are integrated into the wider engineering process rather than treated as independent additions at the end of design. The company profile specifically identifies water-saving fixtures, rainwater harvesting and treated wastewater reuse among its sustainability considerations.
Coordinated with the Building, Not Around It
PHE systems pass through almost every part of a building. Water lines, drainage pipes, shafts, treatment facilities, tanks and equipment all need space and must coexist with structure and other MEP services.
Our PHE engineers coordinate with architects, Structural, HVAC, Electrical and Fire Protection teams while the design develops.
This helps address shaft requirements, service routes, equipment locations and potential conflicts early, creating a more coordinated design before work reaches the construction site.
From Water Demand to Working Systems
Our PHE Engineering Process
01. Understand
Review the building type, occupancy, architectural planning, site conditions and project requirements.
02. Plan
Establish water demand, distribution requirements, drainage strategies and treatment needs.
03. Design
Develop water supply, plumbing, sanitary, sewage, stormwater and other required PHE systems.
04. Coordinate
Coordinate PHE services with architecture, structure and other MEP disciplines.
05. Document
Prepare coordinated drawings, specifications, BOQs, tender information and GFC documentation as required.
06. Support Execution
Provide technical coordination and engineering support during project execution.
07. Commission
Support final execution and commissioning where included within the project scope.
This follows Stratum’s wider design process from initial requirements and concept development through multidisciplinary coordination, documentation, execution monitoring and commissioning.
PHE Across Different Building Environments
Water and sanitation requirements change considerably depending on the scale and use of a development.
Residential
Water and sanitation requirements change considerably depending on the scale and use of a development.
Commercial & IT
PHE systems for office buildings, commercial developments and technology campuses with varying occupancy and operational demands.
Healthcare
PHE systems for office buildings, commercial developments and technology campuses with varying occupancy and operational demands.
Hospitality
PHE systems supporting guest rooms, kitchens, public areas, swimming pools, landscaping and other operational requirements.
Industrial
Water supply, drainage and associated PHE infrastructure developed around the functional requirements of industrial facilities.
Institutional
Plumbing, water management and sanitation systems for educational and other institutional developments.
