Industrial Construction
Industrial buildings include structures classified under number 125 – Industrial buildings and warehouses according to the unified classification of types of buildings (CC-SI). These include, for example, production buildings, reservoirs, silos, cold storage facilities, and specialized warehouses.
Industrial construction is a specialized field of construction that focuses on the planning, development, and construction of buildings intended for industrial use. These buildings include factories, production halls, warehouses, distribution centers, refineries, power plants, waste treatment facilities, logistics centers, and other structures that support industrial processes and production activities.
Industrial construction requires collaboration between various professionals, including architects, engineers, builders, safety and health experts, environmental specialists, and others. Precise planning, coordination, and execution are crucial for the successful construction of industrial buildings that meet client requirements and industry standards.
Key elements of industrial construction include:
Functionality and Efficiency
Industrial buildings must be designed to ensure energy efficiency and smooth operation of production processes. This includes thoughtful spatial layout, proper sizing of pathways for material transport, and installations for energy, water, gas, and other essential supplies.
Structural Strength and Safety
Due to the nature of industrial activities, buildings must provide structural strength and safety. This includes the use of steel structures, reinforced concrete, and durable materials.
Specialized Equipment and Infrastructure
Industrial construction often requires the installation of specialized equipment, such as heavy machinery, conveyor belts, storage racks, quality control systems, and security systems that support industrial processes.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Modern industrial construction increasingly emphasizes energy efficiency and sustainability. This includes the use of energy-efficient heating systems, insulation, renewable energy sources, and other sustainable practices.
Environmental Responsibility
Industrial construction must comply with environmental regulations and standards. This includes measures to reduce emissions, conserve water, and minimize negative environmental impacts.
Obtaining Permits and Regulatory Compliance
The construction of industrial facilities requires obtaining numerous permits and approvals, including building permits, environmental approvals, and fire safety approvals. It is important that buildings comply with all relevant regulations and standards.
Management and Maintenance
After construction, proper management and maintenance of industrial buildings are needed to ensure their long-term functionality, safety, and efficiency
Occupational Safety and Health
Industrial buildings must meet strict safety standards to ensure the safety of employees and visitors. This includes safety systems, evacuation plans, protective equipment, and other measures to prevent injuries and accidents.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Industrial buildings must be designed to allow for flexibility and adaptation to changes in technology, operations, and processes. This includes the possibility of expansion, renovations, and upgrades.
Logistics and Accessibility
The location and design of industrial facilities must allow for easy access to raw materials, products, and equipment. This includes transport infrastructure, loading and unloading areas, parking, and other logistical solutions.
