Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities

June 2018

At first glance, industrial and manufacturing facilities may simply seem like bigger versions of typical MEP design – but there is so much more than meets the eye. From large storage warehouses, to dog food manufacturers and trailer factories – each adds it’s own special brand of complexity because each operates just a little differently.

In this Strategic Direction Report, we’ll touch on engineering design considerations for issues that in some way impact nearly all industrial and manufacturing spaces – overcoming spacial challenges, adapting to unique environments, supporting specialty equipment and optimizing safety. We’ll also provide several real-life examples of those considerations put into practice to assure products keep rolling off the line, goods are appropriately stored and quality food is available for consumers.
