Sector perspective
Warehousing & logistics
Engineering requirements shaped by storage arrangements, building use and the movement of goods through a facility.
PROJECT CONTEXT
Project requirements (Warehousing & logistics)
A logistics building is more than its footprint. The stored goods, storage height, racking arrangement and operational pattern all matter to the engineering brief. A new development or alteration should establish these inputs before protection systems and infrastructure are selected.
Key engineering considerations
- Defining the intended storage and operating arrangements
- Reviewing fire strategy and firewater requirements together
- Assessing the implications of tenant, layout or use changes
- Coordinating system interfaces and future expansion requirements
A useful starting brief
Share layouts, storage information, planned operating arrangements and any available fire design records. Identify changes to goods, racking or the use of internal spaces as early as possible.
