Design, engineering and building data
KPS GmbH is rooted in electrical and mechanical engineering. Today we design, engineer and document technical installations across their entire life cycle – from basic evaluation to operator documentation.
Building services design
Electrical engineering and automation from concept to contract award – HOAI service phases 1 to 7, site supervision on request.
Fire alarm and security systems
Design and documentation of fire alarm, voice alarm and extinguishing systems – standards-compliant and also as a 3D model.
- Installation, as-built and revision drawings for fire alarm and voice alarm systems
- Field device planning with a bill of quantities by device type and the associated system schematic
- Aspirating smoke detection systems, gas extinguishing systems, BOS radio, access control, video surveillance and perimeter protection
- Our own quantity take-off as a reliable basis for tendering and contract award
- Method statements and test documentation, together with support during fire brigade acceptance
- Delivery also as a 3D model
- Design to DIN 14675, DIN VDE 0833-2, VdS 2095 and VDI 6010
Building automation & BMS controls
We bring heating, ventilation, cooling, plumbing and security onto a single BMS platform – specified so that it performs as designed once commissioned.
- Automation schematics and function lists to VDI 3814
- Field device planning and integration concepts via BACnet, KNX and Modbus
- Fire alarm and voice alarm systems to DIN 14675 and DIN VDE 0833
- Hazard alarm and security systems: access control, video surveillance and intrusion detection
- Commissioning and test records generated in series from device and system lists
- Energy monitoring and demand-driven control strategies
- Product-neutral specifications where required by the client
Electrical building services design (MEP)
Design of the electrical trades for new builds, refurbishments and existing assets – standards-compliant, economical and coordinated with all other trades.
- Electrical power distribution from the incoming supply point to the final circuits
- Standby and safety power supply, UPS concepts for high-availability sites
- Lighting, emergency lighting, earthing and lightning protection
- Communication and network technology (DIN 276 cost group 450)
- HOAI service phases 1 to 7 including tendering and awarding – site supervision (phase 8) on request
Project support & site supervision
For production, logistics and infrastructure buildings we support delivery on site – from awarding contracts to an orderly handover to operations.
- Tendering, awarding and technical review of bids
- Trade coordination, scheduling and representing the client's interests
- Site supervision and commissioning support – internationally on request
- Commissioning management, functional testing and defect tracking
- Structured handover including staff training for operations
Engineering & mechanical design
Switchgear, control systems and custom mechanical design – documented to be manufacturing-ready, verifiable and reusable.
EPLAN control panel design and switchgear
Control panel and control-system design for industrial plants and infrastructure – from circuit diagrams through to workshop manufacture.
- Circuit, terminal and layout diagrams in EPLAN Electric P8
- Cable pull lists and bills of materials from maintained parts databases
- Operator desks, distribution boards and control cabinet design
- Retrofit and manufacturer changes for existing systems
- EPLAN Fluid for hydraulic and pneumatic schematics
- Control cabinet documentation to UL 508A for the US market
- S5 and S7 PLC expertise
Mechanical engineering & special-purpose machinery
Bespoke mechanical design with complete workshop drawings, parts lists and manufacturing documentation.
- Bespoke structural assemblies for switchgear and large frequency converters
- Steel structure, frame and fixture design
- Workshop drawings, material and parts lists
- Hydraulic and lifting equipment for special applications
- Change and revision management through to acceptance
Digital building data
Models, drawings and attributes that operations can rely on for decades – BIM-ready and CAFM-compliant.
As-built documentation and CAD support
As-built and operator documentation as a reliable data basis for facilities management and ongoing operation.
- Digitising, checking and releasing as-built drawings through defined review stages
- Working to the client's conventions: drawing identification, CAD standards, review stages and handover formats
- Checking, correcting and updating existing drawing records
- Import and export in operators' document management systems
- On-site surveys with photographic documentation
- Keeping drawings current during operation, including lift circuit diagrams and power distribution overviews
- CAFM-compliant data structures and handover formats
Energy efficiency in existing buildings
We don't offer energy consulting we can't back up with real engineering. Our contribution comes from automation: systems that run on demand, are measurable and can be re-tuned in operation.
- Demand-driven control strategies instead of continuous operation – specified to VDI 3814
- Metering concepts and energy monitoring as a basis for reliable consumption data
- Upgrading existing automation stations instead of replacing them entirely
- Up-to-date as-built data as a prerequisite for any later refurbishment decision
Small jobs welcome too
Not every project is a new build. Pump controls, drive systems with frequency converters, individual control cabinets or network planning for an office receive the same care as major projects – often faster, because our structure is lean.
We work to your conventions
Drawing identification, CAD standards, review stages, numbering systems and handover formats – we adopt the client's system rather than imposing our own. That is why our documents can be incorporated into the asset records and operator systems without rework.
