DESCRIPTION Warehouse
PROJECT PERIOD 2020-2022
PROJECT VALUE $20M

MLEI undertook the civil and structural design of this custom-built industrial warehouse. This project required 700 tonnes of structural steel to construct this 22,000 m3 state-of-the-art facility featuring over 21,160 m3 warehouse space. As the warehouse was to be used by a steel fabricator with significant loads on the ground slab, MLEI provided guidance on the allowable loads on the slab when stacking steel members. The warehouse was designed with crane beams to support 3x no. 4.5 tonne gantry cranes in each bay.

The project included a 820m3 office space designed by our close colleagues at Ginos Consulting Engineers with heavy duty hardstand, full drive-around truck access and on-grade roller door access for undercover loading.

The project construction had to be conducted within tight parameters as the site was adjacent to Edinburgh Airport and the rear of the warehouse was under its flight path. MLEI worked closely with the project team to allow comply with the strict regulations.
