Industrial Insights: Designing and Building New Industrial Buildings (Series Part 5)
Join us for this five-part series on the design, maintenance, and resilience of industrial facilities. Each 2.5 hour-long webinar will cover a wide range of fast-hitting topics relevant to project teams and owners.
Designing and constructing new industrial buildings requires a focus on functionality, constructability, and operability to meet the current and future demands of these critical facilities. Project teams must apply multidisciplinary thinking and industry-specific strategies to meet these demands. In this session, we will share insights into precast concrete structures, crane-supported steel-frame building design, and considerations for high-performance building enclosures. The session will also cover strategies for optimizing industrial floors to enhance operational efficiency and durability.
Key topics include industrial precast concrete structures, crane-supported building design, enclosure systems, and industrial flooring. By understanding these elements, attendees will be better prepared to design and build facilities that meet the complex requirements of industrial operations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify key considerations for designing durable and efficient industrial buildings.
- Apply best practices in precast concrete and steel construction techniques.
- Discuss industrial enclosures and flooring systems for improved operational performance.
- Incorporate resilience and efficiency into new facility designs
ABOUT THE SERIES
Industrial Insights: Engineering Discussions for Critical Buildings and Structures
Manufacturing, warehousing, oil & gas processing, power generation and distribution, and other industrial facilities play vital roles in global infrastructure and public interests. These facilities are built and maintained to operate under demanding conditions while meeting the challenges of evolving safety standards, extreme environmental conditions, and enormous pressure to maintain continuous operations. Effectively addressing these challenges requires specialized knowledge, innovative solutions, and a multidisciplinary approach.
This five-part webinar series will explore a wide range of fast-hitting topics in the design, maintenance, and resilience of industrial facilities for project teams and owners. Participants will gain insights into best practices, advanced engineering approaches, and lessons learned from real-world experiences. Each session will focus on a critical aspect of industrial facility management, including maintaining existing structures, mitigating hazards, responding to extreme marine conditions, addressing aging infrastructure, and designing for future demands. This series offers a unique opportunity to learn from SGH experts and engage with professionals dedicated to improving industrial facility performance and safety.
