Kashec acted as lead civil structural engineering consultants for air liquide s state of the art manufacturing plant spread across 33000 sq meters. A unique feature of the design being all sheds located end to end to allow a continuous manufacturing process flow in one straight path of 400-meter long and 30 meter wide.

• A factory designed to handle, manipulate & transport “cold box package unit" a factory in itself: 10x10 meter units, 60-meter-long and 600-ton weight.
• Design of the factory spanning 30 meter across and 30 meter high subjected to very high wind loads. Tight horizontal deflection limits to allow smooth operation of gantries required to handle up to 150 tons weight.
• The geotechnical conditions at site posed challenges to construction of the factory required floor loads capacity of 50 to 100 tons per square meter. At a very early stage of the project, Kashec provided valuable advice on soil improvement using vibro compaction that not only led to reduced construction period but also achieved considerable savings in foundation costs.
