The Initial Project Brief Reliance Industries wanted to develop a Greenfield warehousing facility in Haryana. The investment was part of the company鈥檚 larger expansion plan to cover the entire country. Reliance Retail was in the process of expanding its retail network to cover the entire country, much beyond the 500 towns where its physical stores are operational, by using a hybrid online-offline model. The distribution centre would act as a centre point for all the stores in the vicinity and products would be sorted, packed, and tagged in this warehouse for delivery to the company鈥檚 retail stores.After a stringent short-listing process, Everest was chosen as a preferred PEB supplier to execute this large warehouse project. Everest鈥檚 scope of work included complete turnkey solutions from design and engineering, fabrication, logistics and erection of the complete warehouse spread over an area of 404,350 sq ft.Geometry and Architectural Features The building is 235 m long and 160 m wide. The warehouse also has a Mezzanine floor and Lean-to building to meet functional requirements of the user. To attain high levels of energy conservation, Fibreglass insulation was provided within the roof and wall cladding system itself.Challenges Along The Way The Everest team faced a series of challenges right from the design and engineering upto erection of the warehouse which had to be built within a stringent timeframe. The client wanted the design and engineering team to reduce the number of intermediary columns to install maximum racking systems inside the building and have a single 80 m long roofing profile on the warehouse roof to minimise the possibility of leakage.Perfect Solution Provided The Everest design and engineering team met the client鈥檚 requirement for space optimisation inside the warehouse building to accommodate a maximum number of storage racking systems by providing a Jack portal. The expert engineering team had designed continuous Jack portals along the Jack beam line to control deflections and maximise storage space inside the warehouse. To cater to the client鈥檚 need for a single 80 m roofing profile and minimise leakage risk, the erection team did a complete roll forming of the roofing profile on site and also carefully installed 80 m long roof sheets on the warehouse building.The team faced another challenge while lifting the 80 m long sheets to heights of 13 m as they faced a risk of rupture during the lifting process. To counter this challenge and further decrease the timelines, the roll-forming machine was lifted and placed on a platform at a height of 14 m. The total 160 m length of the warehouse building was then covered in a single overlap of two sheets 80 m long each to provide an all-weather SS leakproof roofing system as per the client鈥檚 requirement.In Conclusion The highly experienced engineering and erection team of Everest worked meticulously to keep the client regularly updated about the challenges as well as the progress of the project. The company successfully delivered the Greenfield aesthetic Grade A warehouse infrastructure for Reliance Industries within the stringent timeline even while following all the safety protocols.(Communication by the management of the company)
