Modified Starch Processing Building with Integrated Godown

Project Description:

Nord Engineers provided Structural Design & Detailing for this modified starch processing building with an integrated godown. The configuration is a 3-floor industrial steel structure with heavy process equipment and silos supported on deck, structurally integrated with an adjoining godown building. Foundation system: pile foundation with piles up to 12 m depth.

ScopeStructural Design & Detailing
Configuration3-floor industrial steel structure
FoundationPile foundation, piles up to 12 m depth

Engineering Complexity

Heavy vertical and dynamic loads from silos and process equipment
Equipment-supported floors requiring stringent deflection and vibration control
Structural integration between process building and storage godown
Coordinated superstructure and deep foundation design for load continuity

Challenge

Heavy vertical and dynamic loads from silos and process equipment required stringent deflection and vibration control on equipment-supported floors, along with seamless structural integration between the process building and the storage godown.

Solution

Nord Engineers delivered coordinated superstructure and pile foundation design (piles up to 12 m depth) with load continuity between the 3-floor process building and the integrated godown, including deflection and vibration control for equipment-supported floors.
