Construction of industrial buildings

The construction of industrial buildings using modern technologies with the use of innovative materials and equipment can be made in a short time. If the construction company has its own production of building materials, then there is a real opportunity to reduce the final cost of the building.

What is an industrial building

Industrial buildings are understood as buildings for installation in the production lines of the most diverse spheres of the economy:

• Food Industry;
• Light industry;
• Raw materials and fuel processing;
• Machinery and equipment;
• Metallurgical and mining enterprises.

This area can also be attributed to the construction of administrative buildings . A qualitatively constructed industrial structure will ensure the labor process in accordance with the requirements of specific production and standards for labor protection, efficient operation of process equipment. 

As civil buildings in housing construction must have a kitchen, a hallway, stairwells and an elevator, so the industrial facilities include their "gentleman's set" of distinctive features. Most often it is:

• Significant sizes of buildings;
• Decent extent of the facade;
• Deaf walls of solid construction;
• Ribbon glazing;
• Fences in the form of sandwich panels or steel sheets (with different profiles);
• Technical equipment and accessories (conveyors, pipelines;
• Augers;
• Ventilation and chimneys;
• Auxiliary industrial buildings outside the main building.

Sometimes the construction of an industrial structure involves the erection of a hangar.

Classification of industrial objects

Before the construction of an industrial building begins , design specifies, specifies for each specific case specific signs in the following areas:

• The future number of storeys (2, 3, 4, etc.) is being determined;
• An internal microclimate and a temperature regime is established: whether the room is heated or not, how air circulation is ensured;
• The nature of illumination (artificial light sources in relation to natural light sources, their localization);
• Availability and location of technological equipment, hoisting and transport mechanisms.

Hangars, one-story buildings

This type of structure is a common variant of industrial design . 

Their share in industrial facilities has reached about 80%, which can be explained by the unification of hangars, the simplicity of conversion, and re-profiling, if necessary. Due to the design features of the design, the hangar in length can be arbitrarily extended (with such an objective possibility). 

The construction of buildings like "hangar" consists of the erection of vertical walls, a flat or sloping roof and large useful areas of the room. In the hangar, you can easily build and dismantle the service departments, technological lines, staff cabinets, etc. 

A one-story hangar or another type of industrial building is perfect:

• for industries with the release of large amounts of heat, gas, chips and other wastes;
• with heavy technological equipment, lifting mechanisms.

One-storey buildings perfectly proved themselves for metalworking shops, chemical industries, some technological lines of engineering, cargo compartments of transport and logistics companies, warehouses, industrial garages.

Multi-storey industrial buildings

The construction of multi-storey industrial structures is used in industries with a vertical technological cycle. It is possible to build a building in several floors where the equipment is represented by light and small equipment:

• Food and light industry;
• Accurate instrumentation;
• Manufacture of electronics;
• Polygraphy;
• Robotics.

To reinforce the strength of load-bearing structures in multi-storey industrial facilities, steel frameworks and reinforced concrete structural elements are used. Such technology of structure gives other advantages:

• Possibility to organize the production cycle as efficiently as possible;
• If necessary, production is easily upgraded, expanded, etc.

Construction of industrial buildings: where to find

In Moscow and the region there are about a dozen construction companies specializing in the construction of industrial buildings. The services of such companies include the following main activities: 

Engineering and survey activities for commercial projects (contracts);

• Underground and above ground works;
• Foundation construction;
• Production of sandwich panels, manufacturing of metal structures;
• Installation of structures;
• Carrying out of communications;
• Installation of equipment and production lines;
• Finishing work.

At the beginning of cooperation, a serious company, established in the market, makes an estimate and a contract for the construction of industrial buildings . The contract prescribes the smallest details and nuances of the forthcoming work. Possible risks and force majeure are taken into account. The circle of interested and responsible persons, suppliers (manufacturers) of building materials is studied and determined. Thus, not only the building itself is being projected, but also the progress of the forthcoming works. The cost of building an industrial building for the customer should be known in advance. If this is not the case, it is better to find another performer.
