Industrial & Logistics
Structural engineering for industrial and logistics buildings: manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, warehousing, agriculture, pharma and cleanroom, energy.
Here the building serves a process. The plant is fixed before the structure is conceived – and it changes while the design is under way.
What drives the concept
Loads from plant, cranes, racking and traffic, often dynamic. Column-free spans, because every column constrains the process. And flexibility: extendability, load reserves, openings that come later.
Time is the hardest constraint. A production line has a start date that does not move. We design in phases and issue construction information in the order the building goes up.
Our role
Structural design in steel, reinforced concrete, precast and timber, shop drawings for steelwork, foundation and floor slab design, verification for plant loads.
