PEB Manufacturing Facility Design > Industrial> USA

Project Snapshot

Project type: Manufacturing facility

Location: United States

Client type: Manufacturer

Structural system: Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) frames

Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks, SAP2000

Scope of work: Structural steel design for PEB system, Frame analysis and connection design, Engineering calculations and detailing support

The Challenge

  1. The client required rapid construction to meet manufacturing start-up timelines.
  2. Structural design needed to integrate seamlessly with the PEB supplier’s system and fabrication process.
  3. Over-designed framing would increase cost and fabrication lead times.
  4. The project demanded a fast, code-compliant solution without compromising structural performance.

Our Engineering Approach

  1. We developed an optimized PEB-based structural system, tailored to the facility’s span, loading, and functional requirements.
  2. Frame geometry and member sizes were analyzed to balance speed of construction with material efficiency.
  3. Connection design was coordinated with PEB fabrication standards to ensure smooth production and erection.
  4. The design process was aligned closely with the manufacturer’s schedule to support early fabrication.
  5. All engineering was carried out in compliance with AISC and IBC requirements.

Tools and Deliverables

  1. Structural design calculations for PEB frames and connections.
  2. Detailed connection drawings supporting fabrication and erection.
  3. Engineering documentation suitable for approval and construction.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Reduced overall construction time through an efficient PEB structural solution.
  2. Enabled faster fabrication and erection compared to conventional framing.
  3. Delivered a reliable, compliant structural design aligned with manufacturing needs.
  4. Supported timely project delivery without design-related delays.

Value to the Client

  1. Delivered speed-driven structural engineering aligned with manufacturing timelines.
  2. Reduced cost and program risk through PEB optimization.
  3. Provided clear, fabricator-ready design outputs.
  4. Demonstrated strong experience in PEB-based industrial facilities in the USA.
