Nowadays, building materials are available in almost unlimited quantities. Nevertheless, in addition to hygiene and work processes, the selection must also take into account the mechanical stresses to which the new building or extension will be subjected. Only in this way can the specialist planner optimally plan and implement the shell construction and details. Then it can be determined what makes sense for the company – whether lightweight construction in wood or steel or a solid building made of precast concrete elements or masonry.

A high degree of flexibility in the routing of water, electricity, process gases or compressed air as a challenge to the building structure must also be planned for. This is because it must be possible to lay new lines without any problems – for example, in the case of any machine park expansions – and must not impair hygiene under any circumstances. In addition, a slope suitable for operation and appropriate floor drains must be taken into account.

Ideally, the slope should be steep enough to allow water to flow to the drainage points without any problems. At the same time, it must not be too steep, otherwise safe and proper operation is prevented. In addition, the choice of drains and gutters is a criterion that determines the success or failure of a construction project. Whether square or round floor drains, slotted or grid gutters: What comes into question is most likely to be decided by a trained eye. And if you choose the wrong floor-wall or wall-ceiling connections, you can expect water penetration to cause damage to the building within a few years.
