Open parking projects. Design of parking lots and car parks

How parking lots and parking areas are designed, what features are taken into account, and the composition of the initial documentation. Coordination of the parking project.

Creating optimized parking lots and parking lots is an important task in the age of rapidly increasing the number of vehicles and the rapid construction of large-scale facilities. In megacities, land is expensive. Finding a suitable plot of land to implement ideas and optimize the functioning of a future building is work that requires knowledge and experience.

Geopartner company specializes in the design of objects for various functional purposes, including the development of parking lots in accordance with regulatory requirements. Residential complexes, shopping and office centers, and administrative institutions must have individual parking areas where not only employees, but also visitors to these facilities can park.

Guarantee period for the developed design documentation - 5 years!

Optimized construction in terms of functionality and financial investment, as well as safety and ease of use, is the final result that interests all design participants.

Main types of parking

Car parks are classified according to several criteria depending on their location, type of configuration and method of operation. Based on this, developers distinguish between the following types of parking:

open, closed;
above ground, underground;
heated and unheated;
free-standing, attached, built-in;
combined.

Each type of parking lot must rationally use the allocated area, taking into account the characteristics of the site and the destination. Otherwise, financial investments will not pay for themselves during operation. Irrational organization of movement and storage of vehicles can cause transport collapse. It may even cause an accident.

The most popular are open-plane and underground parking lots, but in the conditions of a modern metropolis they are unable to fully satisfy emerging needs. New technical solutions can change the situation by offering automated parking lots. They use the allocated footage sparingly, and the efficiency ratio of machine placement is much higher. There are several types of designs:

tower;
shelving;
puzzles

Such parking lots are gaining popularity not only because of expensive land in big cities, but also for a number of other reasons. For example, they are environmentally friendly, safe, and easy to use. Appearance is important for a harmonious connection with urban architecture, and according to this criterion, automated parking lots are also gaining popularity. Needless to say, their main advantage is practicality of operation.

Features of parking lot design

Designing a car parking requires thorough preparation. At the initial stage, it is necessary to resolve a number of issues that determine the direction of work. This will help organize the process faster. Initially, you need to decide on the type of parking (open, closed, combined) and the period of its operation (temporary, seasonal, permanent). It is important to correctly approach the classification features, because the factors for the effective operation of the finished object depend on this. In addition, the design takes into account the following:

available land area;
functional purpose of the parking lot;
planned load indicators;
calculation of the number of spaces for cars;
climatic conditions with calculations of atmospheric loads;
organization of safe movement and interaction of pedestrians and transport;
location of utilities within the project perimeter;
throughput and features of traffic transportation.

Documents for the implementation of design work

Depending on the type of parking chosen, the documentation will differ. For example, when designing a closed parking lot, you will need architectural and construction drawings showing utilities (1:500) and a plan of the surrounding road network, and when developing an open parking lot, it is important to have a situational plan (1:2000) on hand. The following items may be included in the documentation in various combinations:

master plan and geological basis (1:500);
diagrams for connecting power supplies to electricity lines;
architectural drawings of the parking lot (sections, elevations, floor plans);
technical task;
construction task;
specification of equipment for automated parking;
ODD schemes.

Parking design and its approval by regulatory authorities

The technological project is the result of the process of developing a concept for parking construction. It also includes two positions: the NGN documentation and the vehicle transport model. The project must include all diagrams and drawings that were developed to justify technical, economic and planning decisions.

On the way to implementing the developers' ideas, a technological project must go through an approval procedure. This is a multi-step process, since you will have to obtain permits and approvals from many regulatory authorities:

Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture (KGA);
traffic police;
Transport Committee;
District Department of Gardening and Park Management (USPH);
Committee for Improvement and Road Maintenance (KBDH);
Center for Comprehensive Improvement;
Rospotrebnadzor.

At the last stage of approval, the Interdepartmental Commission of the district reviews the construction project and technical regulations for waste disposal after completion of work. In most cases, project control is also required from the Fire Department and the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Group of Companies "Geopartner" has in its project portfolio a sufficient number of successfully implemented examples of parking lots for objects of various functional purposes. The effectiveness and practicality of the adopted technical solutions is not only justified by practical experience, but also meets the requirements of a whole range of regulatory documents (SP 113.13330.2012, GOST R 52290-2004, SNiP 21-01-97, GOST R 51256-99, GOST 12.1.004, SP 5.13130).

The company "PNProject" carries out design work the most important urban infrastructure facilities - parking lots of various types. We begin design after clarifying all points of the technical specifications, drawn up by the customer independently or with the assistance of specialists from our company.

Approximate composition of the terms of reference for the design of parking lots

Analyzing the given data, our specialists perform car parking design: determine the general concept of parking architecture, select the type of placement of parking spaces (boxes, arenas, cells), develop space-planning and design solutions with mandatory compliance with the requirements of regulatory legal acts. By making professional design decisions taking into account technical and economic indicators and the results of marketing research, we ensure high profitability and competitiveness of the facility.

Stages of designing parking lots and parking lots

Pre-project stage. At this stage, technical specifications are drawn up, a conceptual proposal is developed in the form of a sketch or digital 3D model.
Development of design solutions. When designing a parking lot, regulations, state standards, building codes and regulations are taken into account. We develop design solutions taking into account the individual wishes of the customer. The PNProject company does not use standard parking schemes. We are for unique architectural solutions and a non-standard design approach.
Development of working documentation. Design solutions agreed with expert organizations are displayed in working drawings. At this stage, we carry out a detailed study of building structures and draw up estimate documentation.

Development of concepts for parking lots, parking lots, parking lots

PNProject specialists ensure that the appearance of the building meets the customer’s requirements and the overall concept of the urban landscape. At the conceptual proposal development stage, we reproduce the general idea in the form of a visual three-dimensional model created using digital 3D visualization tools.

An important role in the selection of a conceptual solution for car parking is played by the characteristics of the site, urban planning, the presence or absence of technical restrictions and the planned profitability of the facility. Also, the approach to parking design depends on the type of facility. When choosing a design scheme, it should be taken into account that designing an underground car park is more expensive compared to above-ground car parks.

This is due to the fact that an open parking lot does not require the laying of communications, the installation of heating systems, smoke removal, ventilation, or the organization of additional evacuation routes. Indoor car parks are designed according to a completely different principle. These are complex construction projects with specific operating conditions. Designing such parking lots is a labor-intensive process that requires a professional understanding of many nuances and compliance with government regulations.

When analyzing options for architectural design of parking lots, we take into account technical and economic indicators and find a balance between profitability, technical complexity and the cost of design and construction work. For example, the design and construction of a multi-story car park is more expensive than a one-story facility, but it saves land resources and provides greater payback opportunities. In all such situations, we practice an individual approach and conduct a clear analysis of the initial data, on the basis of which we make the optimal decision.

After agreeing on the concept, PNProject specialists carry out the design of the parking lot and begin drawing up working documentation. The cost of designing a car parking varies widely and depends on many factors: the volume and area of the building, the degree of complexity of engineering systems, the uniqueness of architectural and design solutions.

The main principles of designing parking lots and parking lots

Design of parking structures

Development of design solutions carried out on the basis of SP 113.13330.2012 “Car Parking”, SNiP 21-02 “Car Parking”, GOST R 51256 “Road Marking”, SNiP 21-01 “Fire Safety of Buildings and Structures”. Depending on the requirements specified in the terms of reference, the parking lot can be equipped with service and technical premises, sanitary facilities, storage rooms, elevators, and equipment for people with disabilities. In modern car parks, parking can be carried out with the participation of drivers (using ramps and freight elevators) and without their participation (due to the operation of mechanized devices).

In conditions of scarcity of land resources, the placement of underground parking lots under residential or public buildings is becoming increasingly popular. In this case, we consider the possibility of placing a parking lot at the building design stage. To determine the design features and layout of parking spaces, the dimensions of the vehicles and their maneuvering parameters are taken into account. Large parking lots provide parking spaces for vehicles of various classes.

Car park building structures are operated under increased exposure to vibration loads. When developing structural solutions, we ensure high strength of load-bearing structures, floors and ramps by carrying out special calculations and selecting a special set of materials. This requirement becomes most relevant for multi-storey parking lots.

One of the most “vulnerable” places in public parking is the inclined entrance. This section connects areas located at different levels of the building. The design of the parking lot takes into account the need for high-quality drainage and the correct location of the ramp relative to public roads and existing buildings.

Engineering Communication

PNProject specialists carry out the design of engineering parking systems in accordance with SNiP 2.04.01, SNiP 2.04.02, SNiP 2.04.05. Communications of parking lots built into buildings function autonomously. Indoor car parks are designed in compliance with the requirements of maximum energy efficiency. We create facilities whose operation requires minimal costs.

The parking engineering support networks include the following systems:

Heating;
Ventilation and smoke removal;
Drainage;
Electricity supply;
Automatic fire protection;
Security alarm;
Fire extinguishing system.

Heating of the parking lot is provided at the customer's request. The air temperature in the heated room is not lower than +5 °C. For parking lots that must be ready for departure at any time, a heating system must be designed. The standards also provide for mandatory heating of some auxiliary premises.

Car parking lighting is designed according to SNiP 23-05. In addition to the main lighting devices, an emergency system is provided with light indicators for emergency exits, vehicle movement routes, and fire equipment installation locations.

For high-quality air purification and removal of exhaust gases from the premises, the parking lot is equipped with a powerful supply and exhaust ventilation system. The ventilation system must effectively perform its function even under peak operating loads. The specifics of the parking lot operation necessitate equipping the building with a video surveillance system, an electronic access system and an automatic barrier. To simplify building maintenance and reduce operating costs, the car park is equipped with a system of elevators and lifts.

Fire safety system design

The automatic fire extinguishing system for car parking is designed according to SNiP 2.04.09. When designing a fire safety system, the geometric parameters of the room, the estimated fire load, the location of emergency exits and the parameters of the outside air are taken into account. When designing underground parking lots, we develop water pumping and smoke removal systems for fire extinguishing. In closed facilities, it is planned to install carbon monoxide concentration devices and alarm devices.

Project approval

Before undergoing the examination, the design documentation must undergo a number of approvals. The general plan for the placement of a building on a land plot is approved by the traffic police. Design decisions regarding the connection of entrances and exits with the road network of the settlement are being clarified. Architectural solutions (parking layout, facade design, elevations, references) are coordinated with the chief architect of the city. Utility network projects undergo non-state examination and verification by relevant government services.

The latest concepts of modern parking lots

Parking on the roof of the house. A relatively new conceptual solution for organizing parking is the location of a parking lot on the roof of a low-rise building. The possibility of placing such an object should be provided for at the building design stage.

The most difficult and costly part of designing such parking lots is developing the design of an overpass for lifting and lowering cars. The access road is located at a slight angle to the horizon.

Mechanized parking. In modern conditions of a catastrophic shortage of free urban space, the practice of constructing mechanized parking with an elevator and compact cells for cars is being introduced all over the world. Cars are moved to the storage location automatically.

Control is carried out by one operator. Designing a parking lot of this type is a complex and expensive process, but the costs pay off when operating a compact and high-performance mechanized parking lot in a metropolitan area.

The need to save space is driving designers to create increasingly complex parking designs. This direction is developing at a cosmic pace all over the world. Based on global experience, PNProject specialists create new concepts that meet the requirements of a modern metropolis. We are moving away from outdated projects, introducing progressive conceptual solutions and creating efficient, cost-effective, reliable parking lots.

Step-by-step plan for opening a parking lot

The parking lot will be located in a residential area of the city with a population of about 20 thousand people. The estimated number of car owners in this area is more than 1.5 thousand people.

The closest competitor, that is, another parking lot, is located 800m from our parking lot. The location of this competitor is not very good, since it is located on the border of the region. Our parking lot will be located in the center of the residential area.

An indirect competitor can be called a garage society, in which more than 350 car owners (30%) have their own garages. Also, some car owners (35%) prefer to leave their cars overnight in front of their house windows.

According to preliminary calculations, about 35% of car owners in the area, which is more than 500 people, are ready to use the services of our organization.

Let's calculate the potential revenue of the parking lot.

The estimated number of clients of the organization after a year of operation is 80 car owners per day. This figure will be achieved through an extensive advertising campaign and the development of regular customers for the organization.

Planned average number of clients from the start date of the parking lot, by quarter:

1st quarter - 40 cars/day;
2nd quarter - 55 cars/day;
3rd quarter - 70 car days;
4th quarter - 80 cars/day.

The total revenue from the provision of parking services per year will be 1,543,500 steering wheels.

What equipment to choose for a parking lot

You won’t need to spend a lot on parking lot equipment, but you will need to purchase a few things: several video cameras; fencing, staff trailer, barrier, gate.

What documents are needed to open a parking lot?

Depending on whether you are registering as an individual entrepreneur or LLC, you need to prepare the appropriate package of documents.

Do I need a permit to open a parking lot?

First of all, permits will be required from the administration, State Fire Supervision and SES.

Which tax system to choose

You can choose a simplified taxation system.

Recently, with the active development of urban infrastructure, the number of passenger vehicles on city streets has begun to increase, and along with it, the need for organizing parking lots has increased. Which naturally eliminates the question of what the parking lot is for.

Mayors of large cities, in order to solve the problem of freeing streets from vehicles parking on them, are trying to increase the construction of equipped parking lots, but budget funds are limited, and seemingly free land plots have actually long been owned by various companies, institutions and organizations. Therefore, the construction of parking lots can only be started if there is a plot of land allocated for this purpose that complies with all the requirements for parking, and the necessary funds. According to their features and characteristics, parking lots are divided into several types.

Open surface parking lots

This type of parking implies an open ground area fenced along an appropriate perimeter, intended for parking cars and having at least two exits, which are located on opposite sides. An open parking lot may also not contain a fence, but its internal structure will necessarily consist of markings applied to a hard, prepared surface intended for this purpose. The cost of a space in such parking lots will be cheaper than in closed ones, due to their lack of protection from weather conditions.

Closed surface parking lots

Multi-level car parks

One of the most promising types of closed surface parking lots, which can provide vehicle owners with a sufficient number of spaces in a minimal area. Multi-level parking lots can be constructed either as a separate building or as an extension to it. Sometimes, in order to save land, they are erected above highways or city streets. For the safety and convenience of customers, car parks of this type are usually equipped with all the necessary types of modern mechanized equipment.

Underground parking lots

Underground parking lots require a significant amount of investment, but at the same time remain the most convenient, practical and spacious place for automobile transport. Such complexes are considered elite, allow hundreds of passenger cars to be placed on their territory and are built mainly in places with large concentrations of cars. Decisions on the construction of underground parking lots are used in those places where ground-based placement of automobile transport, for many reasons, becomes impossible.

According to their purpose, duration and characteristics of vehicle storage, parking lots are also divided into several groups:

long-term – intended for storing cars of citizens living in a certain area;
seasonal - involve temporary storage of cars in a certain recreation area;
daytime – located in popular places of public recreation, near sports, shopping and entertainment facilities;
night – intended for temporary overnight parking of vehicles.

Their attractiveness, as well as popularity among motorists, depends on the quality construction of parking lots for parking spaces, but when starting to arrange sites, it is necessary to very carefully study the requirements put forward for this type of activity.

Requirements for the equipment of surface parking lots

Surface car parks of open and closed types are the most promising in terms of accessibility and ease of construction. But, like all construction projects, they have their own specific technical requirements that must be followed when constructing surface parking lots.

The proposed land plot providing parking for cars must be legally designated for this specific type of activity. This fact is a guarantee that in the future the owner will be able to avoid problems associated with construction and operation of the site.

Project development and a business plan for the construction of a closed parking lot require mandatory approval, coordination and registration with several government organizations. Particularly difficult, as a rule, is the resolution of the issue related to the approval of the project itself; here the owner of the future parking lot will have to communicate for a long time with city utility services. But there’s no escape if a parking lot is opened from scratch.

One of the first problems that will have to be faced when organizing parking 24 for motor vehicles is the search and creation of the required sizes of parking spaces, because at the legislative level there are no standards that accurately indicate these parameters. The generally accepted standard for open and closed surface parking lots is the size of 2.5x4.5 meters.

The number of seats is also calculated taking into account the fact that the minimum distance between rows of parked vehicles in the parking lot must be 7 meters.

The boundaries of a closed car park are usually clearly marked along its perimeter, and the site itself is divided by stripes defining parking and passage areas for vehicles. Often additional spaces are allocated to organize parking for bicycles.

The movement of cars on the site must be one-way, and with a capacity of more than 100 cars - without intersecting oncoming traffic.

According to sanitary standards, a closed parking lot for a car must have a hard surface, which must be covered with a special solution to prevent the absorption of petroleum products into the surface.

Artificial as well as natural lighting must be given close attention; according to existing sanitary standards, artificial lighting must correspond to 10 lux.

A closed parking lot must be equipped with entry and exit gates with barriers, an emergency exit in case of evacuation of vehicles, a room for 24-hour security, an administration room and a telephone connection. To begin the process of operating the parking lot, all this will be enough. In the future, at the owner’s request, the parking lot can be equipped with a video surveillance system, as well as premises for providing additional services.

With a small vehicle capacity (up to 50 units), one combined entry-exit is allowed, the width of which must be no less than 4.5 meters. In closed parking lots of larger capacity, gates for entry and exit of vehicles should be located at opposite ends of the site.

Requirements for placing a closed parking lot near buildings

Guided by sanitary standards and regulations governing the construction of surface parking lots, the owner of a future enterprise can determine the safe distance from nearby buildings to the boundaries of the facility he is constructing.

According to the regulations, the distance from the windows of a residential building to an open parking lot should be:

at least 10 m – for a site containing from 1 to 10 vehicles;
at least 15 m – for a parking lot with 10 to 50 cars;
at least 50 m – for sites containing from 101 to 300 cars on their territory.

The distance for closed parking lots may be reduced in each specific case by 25%, provided that there are no opening windows in the walls, as well as entrances and exits from residential buildings.

If there are schools, medical institutions, shops, or public social facilities located nearby, the requirements of sanitary standards remain the same as for open surface parking lots.

Operation of the parking lot and organization of additional services

Self-respecting paid parking lots are distinguished by the presence of information developed and posted in specially designated areas that helps vehicle owners navigate the business activities of the enterprise. Information sources to which clients have access include:

rules for storing motor vehicles with clearly defined responsibilities of the parties;
parking hours;
information on existing tariffs for services provided by the enterprise;
a plan diagram of the parking lot, which indicates not only the direction of movement of vehicles, but also the numbers of the established places for their storage;
emergency vehicle evacuation plan;
telephone numbers of the parking lot owner, police, ambulance, fire department, consumer protection organization;
book of complaints and suggestions.

The operation of a closed parking lot involves the registration and acceptance of a vehicle for storage, for which the necessary information about the car and its owner is entered into the vehicle registration register, who must familiarize himself with the storage rules before leaving the car in the parking lot and sign it magazine.

The process of development and successful operation of a parking lot largely depends on the rules, regulations and instructions developed by the owner that govern the work of the enterprise, officials and all service personnel. Particular attention must be paid to instructions in the parking lot on labor protection of hired workers, instructions on fire safety, as well as careful logging of these disciplines. Instructions must be developed for security guards, parking attendants, parking lot supervisors, workers, cleaners, salespeople and signed by staff. In order to save money, some positions in the parking lot can be combined, just like the points in the instructions being developed.

All necessary rules, instructions and regulations can be found on the Internet and the necessary amendments can be made according to the features and operating conditions of a closed car park.

The owner of a parking lot can protect himself from liability in the event of a fire or other accident only if he has instructions signed by an employee of the enterprise and is timely signed in the instruction book with the corresponding correctly completed entry.

In the process of enterprise development, an excellent opportunity arises to expand and improve the list of services provided to vehicle owners:

tire fitting is one of the most necessary types of services that have already gained popularity among motorists;
car service is a great way to solve problems with repairing clients’ cars right in the parking lot;
A car wash is another opportunity to attract the attention of motorists and gain fame for your car park.

These types of activities, according to KVED, have class 52.21 “Supporting services for ground transport,” which in one of its paragraphs provides for: towing and technical assistance when performing work on the roadside.

Fire safety of a closed car park

The fire safety of a closed parking lot is determined by compliance with all necessary rules, requirements and regulations that prescribe and regulate the process of its functioning.

In accordance with legal regulations, parking lots must have:

two or more trips outside to evacuate vehicles;
fencing consisting of non-combustible materials;
fire hydrant to eliminate and localize a fire;
street outlets of water pipes for connecting mobile fire fighting equipment;
fire extinguishers, in an amount that depends on the size of the parking lot;
fire shield with all necessary fire extinguishing equipment;
distance from residential buildings established by standards;
the possibility of free access of specialized fire trucks to the facility, as well as residential buildings, outbuildings and public buildings.

A fire shield, at the discretion of the owner, can be installed in front of the entrance or inside a closed parking lot; fire extinguishers, according to established standards, must be located along the entire perimeter of the site at a height of 1.5 meters from the ground covering. If this is not possible, it should be stored in a security room.

It is prohibited to block the access area for firefighting vehicles with fences, row planting of trees, or overhead power lines at insufficient heights.

Car parking security

Expensive brands of cars have the ability to attract criminals, therefore the protection of vehicles located in the parking lot is the main task of the entire process of economic activity of the enterprise. Closed areas have higher security against theft, but the protection of such objects must be given very close attention for many existing reasons. After all, the task is not only how to make your own parking lot, but also how to make money from it, and not deal with lawsuits with car owners.

The specifics of protecting closed parking lots are:

in special control over the constant entry and exit of cars;
in the safety of material assets entrusted to the owner of the parking lot;
in maintaining the intra-facility regime established by the rules;
in strict compliance with fire safety rules and regulations;
in maintaining cleanliness, order and compliance with sanitary standards.

To perform all these functions, close attention must be paid to personnel selection. Security guards at closed car parks must be quick-witted, attentive, have good knowledge of modern brands of passenger cars, as well as have quick reactions and vehicle management skills.

The owner of the parking lot must also create appropriate conditions for maintaining security, because the quality and efficiency of a person’s work largely depends on this. The insulated room should have a large window that allows you to view the entire car area, the necessary furniture and a telephone.

For high-quality security of the facility, you need to take care of installing lighting along the entire perimeter of the protected area and, if necessary, purchase dogs that will help the guards perform their service efficiently.

The rules for storing vehicles in a closed parking lot guarantee the safety of the car owner, and in the event of theft, damage or dismantling, responsibility rests with the company providing the service.

All disputes that arise regarding the issue of proper preservation of cars and the property located in them can be resolved by a video camera installed in the parking lot.

A closed parking lot is a rather unique and interesting mechanism for providing services to motorists. But for its effective implementation, it is very important to correctly and competently organize the work of the enterprise, as well as ensure the appropriate level of security of the facility. If all established norms and rules are observed, the owner of a parking lot will feel confident and calm in front of government control authorities.
