How our structural engineers tackled complex site constraints, wind/seismic forces, and strict deadlines.
12 integrated loading docks, high internal clearance of 12 meters, strict NF EN French Eurocode compliance, and tight delivery sequencing across 14 container loads.
Pre-engineered multi-bay portal frame structure with custom dock-leveler perimeter frames and early fire suppression sprinkler pipe support trusses.
Detailed static modeling, load dissipation paths, and statutory regulatory validation.
Constructed in Lyon's primary logistics corridor, this 4,500 m² distribution hub features multi-bay structural steel portal frames designed for high volume automated distribution. The structure integrates 12 heavy-duty dock-leveler perimeter trimmer frames, roof smoke evacuation openings, and roof truss cantilevers supporting high-density ESFR fire sprinkler pipe networks. The full engineering dossier was checked and validated by French technical inspection bureau Socotec.
Verified structural calculations matching national building regulations and Eurocode annexes.
Multi-bay portal frame stability and member sizing per French National Annex.
Low-to-medium seismic zone ductility verification and anchor baseplate checks.
Impact and dynamic live loads from forklift traffic and articulated HGVs.
Certified fire compartmentalization walls dividing warehouse from office annex.
Seamless workflow from 3D parametric Tekla BIM to automated CNC pre-fabrication and job-site erection.
Parametric Tekla modeling and French statutory calculation dossier approved without reservations.
Precision beam line processing with pre-welded dock brackets and primer protection.
Delivered to Lyon in sequenced batches synchronized with on-site concrete foundation curing.
Full primary steel skeleton and roof cladding completed in 28 calendar days with SerBuild lead engineer on site.
Comprehensive breakdown of delivered steel superstructure components, secondary framing, envelope, and dossier.
SerBuild's structural engineering complied with stringent French Socotec regulations effortlessly. All 14 shipments arrived exactly when required, keeping our site moving seamlessly.
