Project Snapshot
Project type: Industrial warehouse
Location: Ireland
Client type: Developer
Structural system: Steel frame warehouse
Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks
Scope of work: Structural steel design, Engineering calculations and reports, Connection design
The Challenge
- The warehouse required large clear spans to support flexible industrial use.
- The project was delivered on a fast-track program, leaving limited time for redesign or iteration.
- Structural efficiency was critical to control steel tonnage and overall cost.
- The client needed a robust yet economical framing solution that could be delivered on schedule.
Our Engineering Approach
- We developed an efficient steel framing system tailored to the required clear spans.
- Member sizes were optimized through iterative analysis to balance strength, serviceability, and material efficiency.
- Connection design was coordinated alongside primary framing to support smooth fabrication and erection.
- The design was structured to progress quickly into IFC stage, supporting early procurement and construction.
- All engineering was carried out in accordance with Eurocodes.
Tools and Deliverables
- Detailed structural calculation reports.
- IFC-level structural drawings suitable for construction.
- Connection design information supporting fabrication and site execution.
Results & Value Delivered
- Design delivered on schedule, supporting the fast-track program.
- Optimized member sizing reduced unnecessary steel weight.
- Enabled early start of fabrication and site works.
- Met all client performance and compliance requirements.
Value to the Client
- Delivered a cost-effective and buildable warehouse design.
- Reduced program and cost risk through efficient structural solutions.
- Provided clear, contractor-ready design documentation.
- Demonstrated strong experience in EU industrial warehouse projects.
