Industrial Buildings

From mill buildings to factories and warehouses, Yenem is the mining and process industry’s structural design specialists. 

Industrial Buildings & Structures

At Yenem Engineering Services, we specialise in industrial plant structural designs, offering comprehensive structural engineering for industrial sites across Western Australia. From heavy‐duty mill buildings and processing facilities to factories, warehouses, chemical plants, and bulk storage halls, our team of structural experts delivers robust, compliant, and cost‐effective solutions. Whether you need a structural engineer for processing plants, a crusher engineer, or a platform engineer, we have the expertise, tools, and track record to keep your industrial asset performing at its best.

Why Choose Yenem for Your Industrial Buildings Projects?

• Mining & Heavy Industry Specialists
  With over 30 years of experience in mining, processing plants, and heavy‐industry structures, our structural engineers for processing plants and structural engineers for industrial sites understand the unique load, vibration, and corrosion challenges you face on site.
• Full Spectrum of Services
  We cover everything from conceptual feasibility studies and load bearing assessment, to detailed design, industrial structural reports, and on‐site construction support. Need a chemical plant structural engineer or a materials handling structural engineer? We’ve got you covered.
• Standards Compliance & Safety
  All designs adhere to Australian Standards, including AS4100 (Steel Structures), AS1170 (Structural Design Actions), and AS4991 (Lifting Devices), ensuring your new mill, factory, or warehouse meets every code requirement. Our AS4100 engineers integrate safety at every stage, from fire‐resistance modelling to wind and seismic checks.
• Fit-for-Purpose & Cost-Efficient
  We optimise materials and fabrication methods to deliver structural design for heavy industry that minimises both CAPEX and lifecycle maintenance. Our industrial buildings engineers balance performance with budgetary constraints and project timelines.
• Advanced Technology
  Using tools like Strand7, SolidWorks Simulation Premium, and BIM platforms, our plant platform design engineers and tank engineers produce detailed 3D models, finite‐element analyses, and clash-detection studies, reducing surprises during construction.
• Personal Service
  You’ll work directly with senior factory engineers, warehouse design engineers, and project managers who know your industry.

Our Industrial Building Design Process

1. Initial Consultation & Scope
   We discuss your requirements; whether it’s greenfield industrial buildings for heavy‐duty processing or a retrofit of an existing facility. We gather operational constraints, site conditions, and load specifications.
2. Site Assessment & Feasibility
   Our team performs geotechnical review, loadpath analysis, and load bearing assessment. For existing structures, we conduct non-destructive testing and monitoring to inform any structural repairs or extensions.
3. Conceptual & Preliminary Design
   We produce concept layouts and mass evaluations, considering material options (steel, concrete, composite). Early cost estimates and schedule impacts help you make informed decisions.
4. Detailed Engineering & Documentation
   Using Australian Standards (AS4100, AS1170, AS3600, AS1171), we develop detailed drawings, 3D models, and certified calculations. Our industrial building engineers liaise with architects, builders, and safety teams to integrate services and ensure compliance.
5. Review & Approval
   We submit documentation for peer review, local authority approval, and client sign-off. Our compliance engineer coordinates with regulators and ensures all structural certification is in place.
6. Fabrication & Site Support
   Shop drawings, connection details, and erection procedures are provided. Our engineers remain available for technical queries, site inspections, and quality assurance throughout construction.
7. Handover & Maintenance Planning
   Final inspection, as-built drawings, and maintenance recommendations wrap up the project. We can also establish a program of periodic structural inspection to safeguard long-term performance.
