PROJECTS

Current work

One active project is currently part of the Parking Projects hub.

Active project

Parking Canopy Design

Preliminary design and tender preparation for rectilinear steel shade canopies while retaining the existing parking layout and access.

Location: Agioi Omologites, Nicosia
Phase: Preliminary / Concept Design & Tender Basis

View project overview

Additional parking projects can be added to this hub in the future.

PARKING CANOPY DESIGN

Project overview

Four working areas, each linked to its authoritative project documentation.

SITE & PARKING LAYOUT

Existing operation retained

The project covers parcels 190 and 491. The existing parking layout is retained; parcel 491 is treated as two independent sub-parking areas, and access and manoeuvring must remain functional.

Open site data

CANOPY DESIGN

Rectilinear Γ and Τ systems

Confirmed requirements use Γ canopies for single rows and Τ canopies for double rows, with galvanized structural steel, perforated shade fabric, 2.40 m minimum clear height, no photovoltaics and no gutters.

Working assumptions: concept geometry and module dimensions remain preliminary and require design development.

Requirements Design basis

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Basis identified; sizing pending

Design is based on applicable Eurocodes and Cyprus National Annexes. Wind is considered a critical action; structural sizing and foundation design remain pending. Preliminary assumptions are not final design.

Open design basis

TENDER & PROCUREMENT

Performance-led public tender

The procurement approach uses performance-based specifications, supplier and brand neutrality, and technically equivalent solutions. The BOQ and tender package are future project outputs.

Open procurement strategy
