Step 4. Adoption of Design Criteria and Standards
Design criteria and standards differ by type of facility and sector-specific information is provided in Chapters 19 to 27.
Step 5. Design Studies
During the detailed design stage, an in-depth analysis of design options is made. The design studies should be based on the findings of the preliminary engineering design stage, detailed investigations and surveys and adopted design criteria and standards. The following design studies may be conducted during the engineering design phase.
