Manufacturing
Structural engineering for manufacturing plants: halls, machine and plant foundations, crane runways, extension and alteration during production.
Production halls and everything inside them that imposes load.
What we take on
- Hall structures in steel, reinforced concrete and precast
- Machine foundations, including vibration-isolated
- Crane runways and brackets, with fatigue verification
- Floor slabs for forklift and racking traffic
- Extension and alteration with production running
The process comes before the building
Machine layout, service routes and material flow fix the grid, the heights and the openings. So we start from the operator’s layout rather than from a hall grid – and ask about what is not yet fixed, because that is exactly where the load reserves are needed.
Start date
A line has a date on which it has to produce. Everything follows from that: precast instead of in-situ, foundations in advance, the envelope in parallel with plant installation. We issue construction information in build order, phase by phase.
Alteration during operation
Replacing foundations next to running machinery means vibration limits, dust control and short shutdown windows. Those constraints belong in the analysis, because they determine the method.
