What is an industrial building?
An industrial building is a building that accommodates a factory, covering specific lodging needs and industry-specific requirements. The space is formed by floors, walls of considerable height, a structure, ceiling, exterior finishes, safety measures and loading and unloading areas to facilitate the company’s operations.
There are several types of industrial buildings depending on the requirements of each business. Some facilities may have offices, storage or manufacturing areas. In some cases, the client needs different types of businesses to be contained within a single industrial building.
Materials and methods vary when it comes to the construction of industrial buildings, which depend on the building durability required by the customer. Engineers and architects are in charge of these types of constructions.
The process for starting the construction of an industrial building involves identifying the client’s needs and presenting the project. Once approved, the support foundations are laid, which is performed via the “Earthworks” method. Afterwards, the building is erected.
ATISA Industrial engineers and architects recommend the implementation of the Tilt-Up method due to its quality, durability and financial savings involved.
Depending on the size of the industrial building, construction may take from 4 to 6 months. Nonetheless, there are companies that require services such as fire suppression systems, air conditioning or communications, among others, which is why these installations are considered as an extra stage in the construction.
ATISA is a company that has the experience of having developed two industrial parks: Parque Industrial Pacífico and Ciudad Industrial. It has a well-recognized track record thanks to it having its own construction equipment and highly trained personnel.
