Agro-Processing Facility

A processing and cold-storage facility with heavy machine foundations and 14,000 m² of industrial flooring, phased so that equipment installation began five months before construction completion.

Scope of work

  • Ground improvement and machine foundations to vendor tolerance
  • Pre-engineered steel building, 14,000 m² footprint
  • Industrial floor slabs to specified flatness class
  • Overhead crane gantry and rail alignment
  • Site utilities, effluent treatment and internal roads
The challenge

What made this difficult.

  • 01

    Founding strata were variable, with settlement limits set by the process equipment vendor.

  • 02

    Equipment delivery dates were fixed by import schedule and could not move.

  • 03

    Floor flatness requirements exceeded normal industrial slab practice.

The engineering solution

What we did about it.

  • 01

    Ground improvement was designed after supplementary investigation, with settlement monitoring on every machine base through construction.

  • 02

    The building was divided into four handover zones, released in sequence so vendor installation started while the final zone was still under roof construction.

  • 03

    Laser screed placement with a defined pour sequence and joint layout achieved the required flatness, verified by survey before acceptance.

  • 04

    Holding-down bolt templates were surveyed and signed off individually before each concrete pour.

Key outcomes

  • Floor area

    14,000 m²

  • Equipment access

    5 months early

    Through phased zone handover

  • Foundation tolerance

Safety performance

  • Steel erection method statements with independent temporary stability checks
  • Exclusion zones and banksman control for all crane operations
  • Hot-works permits with fire watch during cladding and fabrication
  • Vendor personnel inducted to the same site safety standard as the workforce

Sustainability measures

  • Roof designed and structurally provisioned for later rooftop solar installation
  • Effluent treatment sized to allow process water recirculation
  • Steel offcuts segregated and returned to the supply chain for recycling
  • Site drainage designed to retain and settle runoff before discharge
