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
- The client required rapid construction to meet manufacturing start-up timelines.
- Structural design needed to integrate seamlessly with the PEB supplier’s system and fabrication process.
- Over-designed framing would increase cost and fabrication lead times.
- The project demanded a fast, code-compliant solution without compromising structural performance.
Our Engineering Approach
- We developed an optimized PEB-based structural system, tailored to the facility’s span, loading, and functional requirements.
- Frame geometry and member sizes were analyzed to balance speed of construction with material efficiency.
- Connection design was coordinated with PEB fabrication standards to ensure smooth production and erection.
- The design process was aligned closely with the manufacturer’s schedule to support early fabrication.
- All engineering was carried out in compliance with AISC and IBC requirements.
Tools and Deliverables
- Structural design calculations for PEB frames and connections.
- Detailed connection drawings supporting fabrication and erection.
- Engineering documentation suitable for approval and construction.
Results & Value Delivered
- Reduced overall construction time through an efficient PEB structural solution.
- Enabled faster fabrication and erection compared to conventional framing.
- Delivered a reliable, compliant structural design aligned with manufacturing needs.
- Supported timely project delivery without design-related delays.
Value to the Client
- Delivered speed-driven structural engineering aligned with manufacturing timelines.
- Reduced cost and program risk through PEB optimization.
- Provided clear, fabricator-ready design outputs.
- Demonstrated strong experience in PEB-based industrial facilities in the USA.
