03 / The brief
Clientrequirement.
A developer required a multi-unit warehouse scheme planned around loading efficiency, tenant flexibility and long-term asset performance, with units able to be leased individually or combined.
Scope of works
Delivery of a cluster of connected logistics units: bulk earthworks, foundations, portal-frame steel structure, insulated roof and wall envelope, dock levellers, yard and circulation, MEP infrastructure and shared services.
04 / Technical challenges
Coordinating loading yards and turning circles for articulated vehicles across shared circulation.
Sequencing simultaneous steel erection across multiple units without cross-blocking cranes.
Designing demountable partitions so units can be combined or split for future tenants.
Managing high-volume earthworks and drainage across a large, level-critical platform.
05 / The IMPAX solution
Modelled vehicle swept-paths early to fix column grids and dock positions before fabrication.
Zoned the site into erection bays with a rolling crane sequence to keep two fronts active.
Specified a structural grid and services strategy that supports unit combination without rework.
Used laser-guided grading and staged drainage to hold platform tolerances during earthworks.
