SPECIALIZATION

Car Parking

Our specialists have designed an extensive range of car park sheds, tailored to suit diverse site requirements and aesthetic preferences. These include simple single-bay structures as well as advanced configurations such as steel cantilever designs extending up to 5 meters in length. Each design prioritizes functionality, durability, and ease of maintenance, ensuring long service life with minimal upkeep.

All our car park structures are engineered to withstand their specified design cyclonic conditions without experiencing excessive deflections or sway. We follow applicable international and local design codes, standards, and regulatory requirements, ensuring safety, compliance, and reliability in all projects. This rigorous approach guarantees robust performance even in challenging environmental conditions.

As part of our core business focus on Industrial and Oil & Gas sectors, we do not undertake the design of multi-level car park buildings. This allows us to dedicate our expertise to specialized industrial structures where we deliver maximum value to our clients.

Factory Building

When designing the structural framework of a factory or workshop, we begin by thoroughly assessing all key parameters that influence performance and usability. This includes determining the overall building dimensions—length, width, and height—as well as evaluating specific operational needs such as crane and monorail systems, environmental conditions, and the requirement for effective roof and wall insulation. By understanding these factors in detail from the outset, we ensure that our designs are aligned with the functional, safety, and comfort needs of the facility.

Leveraging our extensive expertise in pre-engineered buildings (PEBs), warehouses, sheds, and shelters—both with and without integrated material-handling systems—we provide structural solutions that are cost-efficient while fully meeting the relevant design codes and standards for strength and serviceability. Our designs are developed with meticulous attention to technical accuracy, ensuring reliability and long-term performance even in demanding operational environments.

Beyond meeting technical specifications, our approach emphasizes the smart and efficient use of space. We select the most effective systems for access and circulation, enabling smooth workflow and enhanced productivity within the facility. Every project is customized to deliver durability, functionality, and adaptability, allowing our clients to maximize performance today while safeguarding value and sustainability for the future.

Distribution Center

Designing a high-performance distribution center requires seamless coordination of architectural, structural, and MEP engineering to meet fast-paced logistics and automation demands.

Architecturally, layouts focus on maximizing storage density and streamlining goods movement, with dedicated zones for inbound, outbound, packaging, and sorting.

The structural design is central to the facility’s functionality—long-span steel frames are used to eliminate internal columns, enabling uninterrupted racking layouts and smooth flow of autonomous systems. High-bay structures (12–18 meters or more) accommodate vertical storage and mezzanine levels for picking and sorting operations. Floor slabs are meticulously engineered for high load-bearing capacity, minimal deflection, and superior flatness (FM2 or better) to support heavy forklift loads and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

MEP systems integrate energy-efficient lighting, HVAC for thermal comfort, and robust electrical infrastructure to support conveyors, sorters, and automation. Our integrated approach ensures reliability, scalability, and compliance with global warehousing standards.

Seeds Pack Facility

Our seeds processing plants integrate hygienic architectural zoning – segregating raw intake, drying, grading, treatment, and packing zones with epoxy-coated walls (FSSAI-compliant) and positive-pressure airlocks to prevent cross-contamination. Structurally, vibration-isolated RCC floors (IS 456:2000) support high-speed optical sorters and automated weigher-fillers, while steel mezzanines with grating decks enable overhead conveyor access. Roof structures feature explosion relief panels (NFPA 68) above treatment chambers handling combustible seed dust.

Critical MEP systems include:

  • Climate-controlled storage: HVAC maintaining 15–18°C/50–60% RH (ASHRAE 90.1) via desiccant dehumidifiers and HEPA filtration.
  • Dust management: Centralized aspiration networks (NFPA 61) with cyclone separators achieving 99% capture.
  • Automation-ready electrical: ATEX-rated lighting, isolated earthing for sensitive grading sensors, and UPS-backed cold rooms.

Infrastructure prioritizes utility corridors for seed pneumatic transport lines and firewater ring mains. We enforce BIM coordination to embed MEP within structural elements, ensuring compliance with APEDA norms, NBC 2016 fire codes, and seismic resilience (Zone III/IV).

Cold Storage

Designing a cold storage warehouse demands integrated architectural, structural, and MEP engineering expertise.

Architecturally, thermal insulation and vapor barriers are critical to maintain low temperatures, minimize energy loss, and prevent condensation.

Structural systems must support heavy racking loads and accommodate temperature-induced material expansion/contraction—steel framing with insulated panel systems is typical. Floor slabs are engineered with vapor barriers, insulation, and glycol-based underfloor heating to prevent frost heave.

MEP systems are central to performance: HVAC systems include industrial-grade refrigeration units with redundancy and zoning controls; electrical systems must handle high loads and provide backup power; and plumbing must prevent pipe freezing. Fire protection often uses dry-pipe systems suited for sub-zero environments. Our firm’s integrated design approach ensures operational efficiency, compliance with international food safety standards, and long-term facility resilience.
