FAQ: Industrial Warehouse Construction

Building a modern logistics park or high-capacity warehouse requires specialized knowledge. Here are the top questions we answer for warehouse developers.

1. What is the ideal eave height for a modern warehouse?

While older warehouses featured eave heights of 6 to 8 meters, modern logistics parks demand heights of 10 to 14 meters. This increased vertical space allows for high-density, multi-tier racking systems, maximizing the cubic volume of the building.

2. What is a "Clear Span" and why is it important?

A clear span refers to the internal width of the building without any supporting columns in the middle. PEBs can easily achieve clear spans of 30 to 90 meters. This unobstructed space allows for optimized racking layouts and unrestricted movement of forklifts.

3. Why is flooring so critical in warehouse construction?

Modern warehouses use Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) material handling equipment that operates at high speeds and lifts heavy loads to great heights. This requires "Super Flat Floors" (typically FM2 or FM1 compliance using laser screeds) to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment.

4. How are warehouses ventilated?

Large warehouses utilize a combination of roof monitors, continuous ridge ventilators, and louvered wall panels. For temperature-sensitive goods, insulated sandwich panels are used on the roof and walls to reduce thermal transfer.
