Steel structures / Storage and food processing

Food-grade buildings are the category of metal halls and industrial spaces with the strictest technical and sanitary requirements. These facilities must comply with rigorous hygiene standards and technological flows specific to the food industry, whether we are talking about milk processing, slaughtering, cutting, meat processing, fish processing, cold storage, pastry, bakery or the production of medicines and supplements.

In such constructions, the design must ensure:
- interior surfaces compliant with hygiene standards (HACCP, ISO, DSVSA norms)
- correct organization of technological flows to avoid cross-contamination
- production areas made of washable, antibacterial, easy-to-clean materials
- special ventilation and air conditioning systems, with HEPA filter batteries / advanced filtration for air purification
- pressure control between clean areas and technical areas
- personnel filters (controlled-flow changing rooms, showers, sanitary airlocks)
- separate routes for raw materials, finished products and waste
- possibility of installing heavy technological equipment, processing lines or refrigeration equipment

The requirements are extremely restrictive, and the design of such an investment requires a complete team of specialists, with real experience in the field of food and pharmaceutical construction.
Such a hall must be designed in an integrated manner, so that the metal structure, cladding, plumbing, ventilation, drainage, flooring, electrical installations and technological rooms work perfectly together.

MeCAD offers complete design solutions for food-related buildings, including consultancy in flow organization, selection of interior materials, compartments, clean areas and ventilation systems with advanced filtration.
