Logistic complex construction: projects and contractors

The construction of a production and logistics complex is a rather laborious process. It includes several stages during which many tasks are solved. Let us further consider the stages of construction of a logistics complex .

General requirements

As a rule, construction projects of logistics complexes are ordered by professionals. They clearly understand what they want to receive. Contractors for the construction of logistics complexes , in turn, are experienced enterprises that have been engaged in their work for several years. They know all the regulatory requirements and take into account the wishes of a particular customer. Well-designed and built complex should provide:

1. High-quality and efficient reception of goods, their shipment, access to transport.
2. Equipped with modern equipment. It provides uninterrupted and serviceable operation, throughput of the complex during the peak period.
3. The optimal layout of products, various racks, storage areas of products.
4. Automation of accounting and management.
5. Optimal movement of products across the warehouse.

Logistic complexes: construction

The construction of the object, as mentioned above, is carried out in several stages. They are determined depending on the parameters of the complex. The main stages are:

1. Earthworks. They are aimed at preparing the foundation for the future facility.
2. Foundation construction according to project documentation.
3. The construction of the frame. It can be made of prefabricated elements or reinforced concrete.
4. Wall construction and glazing.
5. Installation of the facade.
6. The arrangement of the roof.
7. Laying utilities and connecting communications.
8. Interior finishing work.
9. Installation of the necessary equipment in the premises.

The construction of a logistics complex also involves the development of an adjacent territory. It can be full or partial.

Nuances

The construction of a logistics complex can be carried out by an enterprise that has a permit for this activity. Some objects are subject to increased requirements. For example, the construction of a Class A logistics complex should take into account standard parameters. The ceiling height, in particular, should be more than 10 m, automatic fire extinguishing and climate control systems must be installed inside the premises, the gates are selected of the dock type, equipped with a special hydraulic ramp.

Classification

Logistic complexes differ in their purpose. Depending on the purpose of use, there are:

1. Cold warehouses. They are designed to store fruits, vegetables, other products and materials.
2. Warm warehouses. They are used to store products unsuitable for continuous cooling.
3. Universal, specialized premises.
4. Completely / partially closed, tanks, bunkers.

The construction of the complex can be carried out from different materials. In accordance with them, combustible, fireproof, and fireproof objects are distinguished. Also, the warehouses are made of LSTK (thin-walled steel light profile).

Cost

The construction of a logistics complex is a rather expensive undertaking. For 2016, the price of the entire cycle of work on the construction of a straight-walled facility or warehouse from sandwich panels / metal structures was 10-13 thousand rubles / sq. m. Currently, the market has many offers. However, experts recommend carefully checking the estimate if the cost of the work is suspiciously low.

Parameters for calculation

The construction of the complex is carried out according to the technical specifications. It is provided by the customer. In the terms of reference, the desired parameters must be present:

1. Overall dimensions of the structure.
2. Height from bottom to ceiling indoors.
3. The temperature regime or the insulation used on the roof and walls.
4. Estimated floor load.
5. Topcoat.
6. Glazing (if available).
7. Gate (type, quantity, dimensions).
8. Engineering systems.

Glued timber objects

Such complexes have many advantages. The main advantages of such objects include:

1. Light weight.
2. Stability during operation.
3. High (compared to ordinary wood) strength, low thermal conductivity and shrinkage.
4. The ability to construct spans of 12-100 meters or more.

Complexes of glued beams do not require external decoration. At the same time, the use of bent glued elements allows the construction of buildings with a large span. The light weight of the structure provides savings on the foundation. Accordingly, the complexity of installation work is reduced.

Project example

The logistics complex consists of 3 conditional blocks:

1. Large warehouse. Its area is 3.2 thousand square meters. m., dimensions 54x60 m.
2. Small warehouse. Its area is 2.8 thousand square meters. m, dimensions - 54x48 m.
3. Administrative building (ABK). Its area is 1.2 thousand square meters. m

The step between the inner columns is 12x12 m. It is made according to the layout of the racks given in the customer’s task. The foundations under the object are made in the form of glasses. The depth of their occurrence is 1400 mm. A monolithic retaining wall was built around the entire perimeter of the complex . A firewall is installed between the office block and the storage area. The enclosing structures are made of sandwich panels. The facility provides natural lighting through tape glazing. The complex has an airborne automated heating system combined with ventilation. The floors in the premises are at 1.2 m from the ground. This provides quick loading and unloading of goods. The warehouse is equipped with lifting gates, rubber seals for the opening, loading bridges. In each section of the warehouse, a ramp for loaders is arranged. The office block has undergone modern repairs, a centralized air conditioning and ventilation system has been installed.

Features of the use of objects

The finished logistics complex can be leased or sold. Many large enterprises need large areas for storage and transshipment of products. However, not everyone can afford the construction of the complex. The rent is quite affordable for the company. The main selection criterion is a convenient location, the presence of engineering systems. Very popular are objects located near major interconnections of international and federal significance. This location greatly facilitates the delivery of goods to any region. Currently, a huge number of logistics complexes are operating in the country. All of them provide the needs of various enterprises, product delivery to consumers. Logistic systems are indispensable for large companies with an extensive network of branches and representative offices.
