Structural Warehouse
This project involves the development of a steel-framed warehouse designed to function as a regional logistics center. The facility incorporates a structural mezzanine level intended to support storage systems, internal logistics operations, and personnel circulation within the warehouse.
The building structure is based on a steel skeleton consisting of primary beams, bracing systems, and supporting elements that ensure stability and efficient load transfer throughout the facility. The mezzanine structure was designed to accommodate dynamic operational loads generated by pallet racks, conveyor systems, and personnel walkways, requiring careful structural coordination and detailing.
The modeling and detailing were carried out in Tekla Structures.
Scope of work:
NS Drafter developed the structural steel model of the warehouse, including primary beams, bracing systems, staircases, and handrail systems. Special attention was given to the mezzanine structure, which required custom gusset plates and slotted steel connections to allow routing of HVAC systems through the structure. Tekla Model Sharing was used to coordinate the model with the client’s engineering team in Ontario, enabling consistent collaboration across time zones. As a result, shop drawings for more than 200 unique structural elements were delivered efficiently and passed fabrication quality control without revision requests.
