Structural Design for an Industrial Warehouse Facility in Ireland

Project Snapshot • Project type: Industrial warehouse • Location: Ireland • Region: EU • Client type: Developer • Structural system: Steel frame warehouse • 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 programme, 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 & 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 programme • 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 programme and cost risk through efficient structural solutions • Provided clear, contractor-ready design documentation • Demonstrated strong experience in EU industrial warehouse projects
