Everest builds a vast, innovative warehouse for Nahar Industrial, meeting e-commerce needs with precision. Overcoming challenges ensures quality, timely completion, and stakeholder satisfaction.

Project Brief

One of the many large projects executed by Everest is a warehouse building for Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd. The building is an example of a perfectly executed warehouse building. India’s leading e-commerce giant will use the facility as a distribution centre.

Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd. is a top textile manufacturer in the country, with other businesses under its group. The company planned to build a warehouse for its business arm that is in the warehouse business.

Geometry

The Warehouse has an area of over 3.5 lakh sq. ft. The width of the building is more than 130 m, and it requires large unobstructed spaces for the movement of forklifts to transport goods. Everest designed a multi-span frame with optimum column spacing to achieve the layout requirements. Jack Portals and Jack beams were provided to reduce interior columns for unhindered space required for material movement inside the building.

Architectural Features

The building has a mezzanine area along its length. The flooring used concrete over the deck sheet to bear human and material loads. Shear studs were provided for non-composite joists for lighter sections.

The customer was very particular about leakage. Hence, Everest decided to use the latest SS470 Standing Seam roofing profile, the latest addition to its product offerings. The leakproof roof was provided in the building for water tightness and longer roof life. Appropriate rainfall Intensity data was collected, and adequate water drainage systems were designed to offer seamless working for the end user of the structure. 

Roof monitors and S-type louvres were provided to ensure ventilation as per the users’ required air changes.

Uniqueness

The building has future expansion at the end wall, which called for careful designing of the end wall columns and secondary systems, including wall cladding, since the customer wanted wall cladding and columns to be removed to pave the way for expansion and create more space. The building’s length is more than 200 m, so designing the structure to handle thermal expansion was necessary.

The building had to be designed to house an array of pipe racks, sprinkler systems and cable trays. Adequate design precautions were taken to ensure the desired locations are provided with Brackets/ Slotted holes to suspend the supports of these structures.

Challenges 

The building had a few crucial aspects that remain the concern of all customers, like the economic scale of solutions without preceding the requirements of designs, material specifications and construction time. Since the project had a very short timeline, the design and release of the drawings had to take place on a very tight schedule. The material dispatch had to follow the erection sequence, which required accurate planning.

Everest used two Standing Seam roll formers in tandem to ensure roof sheet laying in record timelines and with strict adherence to safe practices. Any error would cost the company its plans of commencing operations on time.

In conclusion 

Maintaining the economy and timeline were key aspects. The Everest Industries team maturely handled the situation by conducting multiple meetings and monitoring day-by-day progress as desired, thus resulting in the expected positive outcome for all project stakeholders.
