Factory Store Facility Design > Industrial> USA

Project Snapshot

Project type: Industrial factory store facility

Location: United States

Client type: Contractor

Structural system: Steel portal / frame system

Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks, SAP2000

Scope of work: Structural steel design, Connection design, Engineering calculations and documentation

The Challenge

  1. The project was required to comply with multiple US codes and standards, including structural and building regulations.
  2. Approval processes demanded strict adherence to code requirements and detailing conventions.
  3. Any non-compliance could result in design resubmissions and program delays.
  4. The contractor needed a fully compliant design package ready for construction approval.

Our Engineering Approach

  1. We developed a code-compliant portal/frame structural system aligned with the project’s functional and spatial needs.
  2. Structural analysis and connection design were carried out to meet AISC, ACI, and IBC requirements.
  3. Particular attention was given to load combinations, member checks, and connection behavior.
  4. Design outputs were structured to support a smooth approval process and early construction start.
  5. Close coordination with the contractor ensured alignment with construction methodology.

Tools and Deliverables

  1. Complete structural design package, including calculations and drawings.
  2. Connection design documentation suitable for fabrication.
  3. Approval-ready design submissions aligned with US regulatory requirements.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Achieved approved-for-construction structural design.
  2. Reduced risk of approval delays through code-compliant documentation.
  3. Enabled early start of fabrication and site works.
  4. Provided a reliable and buildable structural solution.

Value to the Client

  1. Delivered US code–compliant structural engineering support.
  2. Reduced approval and program risk.
  3. Provided clear, contractor-ready design documentation.
  4. Demonstrated strong experience with US industrial project requirements.
