FYI Center 2, 2525 Rama IV Road, Level 5, Khet Khlong Toei, Bangkok, 10110 Engineering Services in Bangkok, Thailand Based in bustling Bangkok, our Thailand team of multidisciplinary engineering consultants can help you with projects across multiple markets including buildings and transport and infrastructure. Our engineering services include civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, among many others. Leveraging deep experience in the government and defence sectors, we can also provide advisory services to government agencies. From delivering the striking Bank of Thailand Learning Center in central Bangkok, the One Bangkok precinct – Thailand's largest building project to date – and the Green Spot Soy Milk Plant northeast of the capital, these are just a few of the ways we’ve been making everyday better. Say hi to Beca in Thailand! Services We Provide From our Bangkok office we provide a mix of engineering and consulting services across buildings, transport, industry and the public sector. Involve us to help from early feasibility and survey work through to detailed design, construction supervision and commissioning. We bring extensive civil, structural, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical and digital capabilities to projects, including GIS and information technology tools to support planning and decision-making. Building Design and Development Our building design and development team supports Thai and international clients with integrated architectural, structural, MEP and building services solutions. We work on new developments, redevelopments and fit-outs, combining local code knowledge with international standards and green building expertise. Our engineers and project managers coordinate closely with your design team, using digital models and clear documentation so concepts can be turned into buildable, comfortable and high-performance buildings. Structural Engineering Thailand's 2021 seismic code update pushed structural requirements up sharply for buildings across Bangkok, adding new detailing rules for concrete frames and stability checks for architectural elements. Beca's structural engineers work across heritage retrofits carrying new loads on old foundations, signature towers well past standard height limits, and long-span design for large public buildings. Seismic performance, load paths and detailing are handled in close coordination with our geotechnical and civil teams. Civil Engineering Eighty millimetres of rain in three hours is roughly where Bangkok's drainage network reaches its limit, a threshold monsoon season tests most years. Site grading, stormwater management and drainage connections get sized against that real rainfall data. This is work Beca handles as part of the civil engineering scope on every project, in direct coordination with the structural and geotechnical teams on site. Raised ground floors, on-site detention and pump capacity all come into play depending on a given site’s exposure. Geotechnical Engineering Beca's geotechnical engineers work through Bangkok's clay basin, a soil profile that shifts sharply within a few hundred metres and has driven decades of settlement problems and building subsidence across the city. Foundation design here starts with site investigation, then moves into piling, ground improvement and settlement analysis, work that feeds directly into the structural decisions on the towers and public buildings covered elsewhere on this page. Material testing and interpretation sit alongside this, giving clients hard data to work from before committing to a design. Industrial Engineering Industrial projects in Thailand tend to combine complex process systems with tight programmes and high reliability expectations. Our industrial engineering team helps clients plan, design and improve production lines, utilities and support services in plants such as food and beverage, manufacturing and logistics facilities. Work can range from feasibility and layout studies through to detailed design, equipment integration and process engineering. In all cases, we deliver solutions aimed at lifting safety, throughput and overall performance. Electrical Engineering Our electrical engineers support projects across buildings, industry and infrastructure. We design and review power distribution, lighting, earthing and control systems so they are safe, reliable and suited to local conditions. Projects typically require coordination with mechanical, process and IT teams on topics like backup power, automation, communication networks and system integration. We can also provide construction supervision and testing support, ensuring that installed systems match design intent and comply with the relevant standards and requirements. Mechanical Engineering Ductwork, risers and plant space compete for the same real estate inside a building, which is why mechanical design can't happen in isolation from electrical and structural. Cooling load drives most of the energy cost in Thai buildings, so Beca's mechanical engineers size HVAC, plumbing and building services systems against that load without over-specifying capacity that sits unused most of the year. Close coordination with the other disciplines starts early, before space allocations are locked in. Renewable Energy Consulting Our sustainable energy work in Thailand brings engineers, planners and project managers together to help clients develop compliant projects that are technically sound and commercially viable. Clients come to us for project feasibility studies for solar, bioenergy or hybrid systems, grid connection and protection reviews, performance modelling, and more. Alongside technical design, we provide expert advice on aligning delivery strategy with risk and stakeholder requirements for each project. Digital Consulting Beca's digital consulting team uses GIS mapping to layer site constraints, infrastructure and planning data together, giving clients a single view of a site before design work starts. This supports site selection and feasibility studies across buildings, transport and industrial projects, and feeds into the digital models used later for design coordination and decision-making. On larger sites, this mapping work surfaces conflicts and constraints early, cutting weeks off manual assessment. Our Work in Thailand Bank of Thailand Learning Center The Bank of Thailand Learning Center converts the bank’s former note-printing works and gold depository on the Chao Phraya River into a public education and exhibition space. Working with competition-winning architects Creative Crews, Beca provided structural, building services and IT engineering plus construction supervision to add new spaces such as a 500-person ballroom on top of the existing building while retaining its key heritage elements.

Green Spot Soy Milk Plant The Green Spot factory at Nong Khae Industrial Estate in Saraburi is a greenfield soymilk production facility built to support major growth in Thailand and export markets. Beca supplied process, industrial and project management expertise for the site and plant layout, integrating advanced processing, packaging and warehousing systems so the facility can operate efficiently today and accommodate future automation. One Bangkok is a 16.7-hectare mixed-use district beside Lumphini Park and one of Thailand’s largest building projects, with a planned 90-storey signature tower, 13 towers in total and over 1.8 million m² of floor area. Beca is providing structural and building services design across the precinct, helping this ambitious development target international benchmarks for sustainability, smart building performance and urban connectivity. Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) Queen Sirikit National Convention Center is Thailand’s first international convention venue and has recently been rebuilt as a much larger, world-class event hub in Bangkok’s CBD. Beca (Thailand) acted as structural engineer for the major renovation, working with local partners to deliver a three-level, 280,000 m² facility that can host large exhibitions and conferences while meeting modern seismic, safety and performance expectations. 2020 Good Design Award (Japan) Winner – Good Design Award for the Bank of Thailand Learning Center, recognising the project team’s transformation of the former note printing works into a public learning hub on the Chao Phraya River, with Beca Thailand providing key engineering consultancy support. 2020 DEmark Design Excellence Award – Interior Design Winner – DEmark (Design Excellence Award) for the Bank of Thailand Learning Center, acknowledging the adaptive reuse and interior design of the historic mint building; Beca contributed mechanical and electrical engineering services to help realise the architectural vision. 2019 IAI Architecture Awards – Inheritance and Innovative Architecture Winner – IAI Architecture Award for the Bank of Thailand Learning Center, celebrating its blend of heritage conservation and contemporary design; the project team included Beca Thailand as structural and building services engineer for the redevelopment.

Our consultants can assist from the very start of a project through to handover, offering advice on feasibility, options, programme, risk and budget as well as technical design. On many assignments we also provide project management support – helping set up governance, coordinate multiple disciplines and suppliers, track progress against time and cost, and keep documentation and approvals on track – guiding engineering, construction and technology work forward in a controlled, transparent way. Does Beca work on projects outside Bangkok? Yes. While the Bangkok office anchors our Thailand presence, projects extend into the wider region, including industrial and manufacturing facilities in provinces like Saraburi. The same civil, structural and industrial engineering capabilities apply outside the capital, adapted to each site's own soil and flood conditions. Does Beca provide construction supervision as well as design? Yes. Our Bangkok team stays involved through construction, not just the design phase, providing site supervision and checking that what gets built matches the design intent. This has applied across our project types, from heritage buildings needing careful oversight during retrofit work to large-scale developments where multiple contractors are on site at once. What should we look at when choosing an engineering consultancy in Thailand? It usually pays to look beyond price and check whether the consultancy has relevant experience on projects like yours, including local Thai work and good references you can follow up. You’ll want to know who will actually do the work – for example, whether there are licensed Professional Engineers on the team – and how strong their project management and interpersonal skills are, as you’ll be working with them over months rather than days. It’s also worth checking how clearly they explain scope, programme and fees up front, and whether their communication style and culture feel like a good fit for how your organisation makes decisions. What experience do you expect from engineers who want to work as Beca consultants? We typically look for a bachelor’s degree in engineering from an accredited university, a solid grounding in your discipline, and some relevant project or consulting experience rather than purely academic work. Practical exposure to design or delivery, basic project management skills, and the ability to explain technical issues clearly to clients are all important. For more senior roles, prior consulting experience, stronger coordination and communication skills, and in some cases professional registration or eligibility to become a licensed Professional Engineer are expected.
