Application Typical Stories Typical Height Range Primary Steel System Key Driver Warehouses & Logistics 1 8m - 45m+ Pre-Engineered Building (PEMB) Clear Internal Height for storage racks, cranes, and logistics. Industrial & Manufacturing 1-2 10m - 20m PEMB or Heavy Steel Frame Process Flow. Height for machinery, overhead cranes, and ventilation. Commercial Retail (Big-Box) 1 (+mezzanine) 9...
1. Design and Engineering Factors Size and Dimensions: This is the most obvious factor. The total square footage (length x width) directly impacts the amount of steel, foundation, and cladding required. The eave height is also critical; a taller building requires taller, heavier columns and often more complex bracing, increasing costs significantly. Design Complexity: A simple rectangular box is t...
When planning a new industrial, warehouse, or commercial facility, two questions often top the list for maximizing space and efficiency: "Can I add a mezzanine for extra office or storage space?" and "Can this structure support an overhead crane for moving heavy materials?" If your building is made of steel, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, steel isn't just ableto support these features; i...
What is a Single-Span Light Steel Workshop? First, a quick definition: Single-Span: Refers to a structure with a single, large roof space without any internal supporting columns or walls. It provides a completely clear, unobstructed floor area. Light Steel: Refers to the primary building material—cold-formed steel sections (like C-sections and Z-sections) or sometimes lightweight hot-rolled steel ...
While both involve storing goods, logistics warehouse design is fundamentally different from general warehouse design in its core objective, leading to vastly different priorities in layout, technology, and operation. Think of it this way: A General Warehouse is designed for long-term storage. Its primary goal is to safely store a large volume of goods for an extended period with minimal handling....
