Plumbing Engineering in Des Moines, IA

Des Moines is America's insurance capital and a major financial services construction market, with corporate headquarters, data centers, and agricultural services facility engineering driving demand in central Iowa.

What we design

Water, waste, gas, and fixtures — Torch coordinates all of it for Des Moines projects. Our plumbing engineers design to the Iowa code, account for Des Moines's harsh winters and humid summers in freeze protection and material selection, and produce riser diagrams and calculations that the Des Moines building department approves.

• In Des Moines's harsh winters and humid summers, exterior hose bibbs, irrigation backflow assemblies, and rooftop piping get freeze-rated details — the callbacks we prevent never make it onto a punch list.
• Sanitary and storm drainage engineered for Des Moines's conditions: proper slopes, cleanout placement, and grease/interceptor strategy for food-service tenants inside food production facilities projects.
• Gas load calculations and piping layouts for Des Moines commercial office & retail — rooftop units, water heaters, and kitchen equipment all on one coordinated schedule the gas utility and the Des Moines building department both accept.
• Domestic water and sanitary design for Des Moines food production facilities: pipe sizing by fixture-unit method, pressure-booster evaluation where city pressure falls short, and backflow assemblies located per the Des Moines building department requirements.
• Water-efficient fixture selection for Des Moines commercial office & retail that still passes plan check: 1.28 gpf water closets, metered faucets, and the calculations the Des Moines building department wants to see in the submittal.
