Warehouse, shed and industrial structural design in Queensland

Industrial buildings are mostly about span, height and wind. Queensland's cyclonic and non-cyclonic wind regions make the wind design critical, especially for large doors and open-sided sheds.

Typical structure

  • Steel portal frames with purlins and girts
  • Bracing for wind and crane loads
  • Pad or piled footings designed for uplift
  • Industrial slabs for forklifts and racking

Key design checks

Large roller doors and open sides increase internal pressure under wind. Footings must resist uplift as well as gravity load, and slab joints must suit the wheel loads.

Shop drawings and cost

We can also prepare steel shop drawings and quantity estimates so fabrication and pricing match the design.
