Industrial

GHD’s Industrial group is highly skilled in coordinating industrial facility design with due consideration to industry-based, complex processes not normally associated with traditional architecture services. Our varied disciplines and extensive global experience includes success in facilitating the design and construction of many types of process and industrial facilities.

In the industrial world, it is not enough to design facilities that are visually pleasing. First, industrial facilities must be functional. That is why GHD integrates architecture, process, and building design and engineering. This teaming assists in coordinating the crucial interfaces between the process equipment, the building layout, the structure and the building services to accommodate plant installations, building fabric and operational efficiencies.

We work with clients to maximise quality outcomes (on time and on budget), decrease lost production time, increase capacity to meet operational objectives, and take into account user and community needs. GHD has worked on building or upgrading facilities or operational plant and workshops in manufacturing, vehicle parking and servicing, stores, warehouses, cool stores, distribution, food, pharmaceuticals, production lines, petroleum and gas production, laboratories, abattoirs and commercial laundries. We can also assist with industry land use planning, and industrial parks and free zones.
