Hospitals and medical centers operate without pause. Improving them means designing and building within that constraint — replacing boilers and HVAC systems while clinical spaces stay in use, reviewing designs against strict life safety requirements, and upgrading infrastructure in buildings that continue to treat patients throughout.

Planate will be at the AmCham Kenya Business Summit.

From our Nairobi office, Planate supports clients across Africa and the Middle East with engineering, construction management, facility planning and design, and geospatial services.

We look forward to connecting with partners and clients and joining conversations around trade, investment, infrastructure, and regional growth.

Attending the Summit? We’d be glad to connect.

A great evening connecting with our partners, clients, and colleagues in the Washington, D.C. area at the **Planate End of Summer Social**.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We appreciated the opportunity to reconnect, strengthen relationships, and enjoy an evening of good conversation together.

We’re grateful for the partnerships that continue to support our work and look forward to many more opportunities to connect.

MEP systems are at the heart of how a facility performs.

From comfortable indoor environments and reliable power to water systems and life safety, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering play a critical role in creating facilities that are safe, efficient, resilient, and built to perform for the long term.

At Planate, our multidisciplinary approach brings MEP, architectural, structural, and other engineering disciplines together under one team — helping identify coordination challenges early and deliver practical solutions across the entire facility lifecycle.

Planate Management Group is proud to continue supporting the **U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)** at the **Bay Pines VA Healthcare System in Florida**.

This project brings together expertise across **structural engineering, architecture, mechanical and plumbing design, construction period services, cost estimating, and project management** — delivering a coordinated approach from design through construction.

It’s another example of how multidisciplinary engineering supports safe, functional, and reliable VA facilities for the Veterans who depend on them.

GIS technology is transforming the way projects are assessed, planned, and documented. With LiDAR, teams can capture highly accurate 3D models of sites in days rather than weeks — giving engineers and program managers better data, clearer visibility, and greater confidence when making critical project decisions.

From detailed site conditions to actionable insights, the right data can make a real difference in how projects move forward.

How LiDAR and GIS are changing the way infrastructure gets assessed, planned and protected. LiDAR is changing how projects are assessed, planned and documented. Where traditional survey methods take weeks, LiDAR delivers millimetre-accurate 3D models in days. But speed and accuracy aren’t the whol...

Physical security goes beyond the perimeter fence.

Effective force protection is built in layers — from standoff and access control to blast-resistant design and intrusion detection.

By integrating security engineering from the earliest design phases, we help ensure protection measures support both safety and operational functionality.

Most counter-drone systems are built to intercept. But what's the plan when intercept fails?

Planate's latest article breaks down the problem and the four-pillar approach we use to address it.

Stormwater drainage is more than a routine civil engineering issue.

At critical facilities, poor drainage can disrupt access, affect daily operations, and cause long-term damage to essential infrastructure.

Effective drainage design requires more than calculations. It takes accurate site surveys, knowledge of applicable engineering standards, an understanding of local conditions, and close coordination from initial assessment through to final design.

Site survey capability. Engineering expertise. Local experience.
