How our structural engineers tackled complex site constraints, wind/seismic forces, and strict deadlines.
Columns required to withstand 3.5-meter lateral grain bulk pressure against internal concrete retaining panels during harvest season.
Engineered reinforced column bases and haunches with integrated push-wall connection brackets and anti-condensation fleece roof sheets.
Detailed static modeling, load dissipation paths, and statutory regulatory validation.
Constructed in the agricultural heartland of Plovdiv, this 950 m² heavy-duty grain hall was engineered to resist intensive 3.5-meter lateral hydrostatic grain bulk pressure exerted directly against reinforced perimeter concrete retaining walls. Our engineers designed rigid structural steel columns (HEA 360) with heavy welded baseplate gussets anchored into concrete buttresses, finished with anti-condensation fleece-lined roof sheeting to protect harvested grain from moisture drip.
Verified structural calculations matching national building regulations and Eurocode annexes.
Heavy portal framing designed with grain retaining lateral load combinations.
Calculation of lateral grain bulk pressure and dynamic discharge loads.
Seismic verification under Thracian plain ground accelerations.
Trapezoidal roofing sheets with factory laminated anti-condensation fleece.
Seamless workflow from 3D parametric Tekla BIM to automated CNC pre-fabrication and job-site erection.
Structural analysis calculating combined grain lateral pressure and snow roof loads.
Automated saw/drill line and dual-coat agricultural anti-corrosion primer coating.
Shipped from factory to Plovdiv site in 2 days via Kapitan Andreevo border corridor.
Bolted frame and anti-drip roof fully assembled 10 days before wheat harvesting began.
Comprehensive breakdown of delivered steel superstructure components, secondary framing, envelope, and dossier.
We loaded 2,800 tonnes of wheat against the push-walls right after harvest. The SerBuild structure showed zero deflection and the anti-drip roof kept the crop bone dry.
