Introduction
As communities grow, prosper & expand, transportation becomes one major concern. Absence of robust and reliable public transportation makes commute a challenge. Affordability prompts people to have their own vehicle, be it a two wheeler or a car. Owning a vehicle leads to another challenge - parking. With space becoming scarce and costs of real estate sky rocketing, building owners need to look at improving parking densities within the space available.
PAPL Corp, as leaders in Mechanical Car Parking Planning & Engineering have been involved car parks in many iconic buildings across India, starting from concept design up to the handing over stage. PAPL Corp has the privilege of working with top builders and architects in planning the parking requirement for world class buildings and structures. We collaborate with the project architects and the design team to ensure that our designs seamlessly integrate with the building thus ensuring smooth traffic flows and efficient handling of traffic apart from being cost effective.
Designing vehicular movement inside buildings require a very diligent approach to ensure smooth flow without any hindrance to the occupants of the building. Mechanical Car Parking systems have become an integral part of every built environment like multiplexes, malls, Airports, Metros, Commercial Offices, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Residential Complexes etc. and are no longer deemed a luxury. Planning for these equipment and the pattern of usage should address both Quality and Quantity of service apart from being a safe and easy to operate.
What is Mechanical Car Parking Planning & Engineering?
Planning, engineering and selection of mechanical parking equipment requires substantial collaboration among various expert trades. The process starts with establishing required parking efficiency based on architectural estimates and selecting the right equipment that is contemporary, safe and easy to operate. It requires meticulous planning to ensure the right mix of system parking and surface parking are provided so that every type of car finds space to park. Space allocation is another important aspect where critical attention should be paid.
Drive ways and pedestrian paths are critical to parking spaces and adequate attention should be paid in order to avoid bottle necks and facilitate smooth movement of traffic.
Planning & engineering involves providing dimensions, specifying the right operating & safety features as well as ensuring the equipment meets the latest codes and standards.
