750 tonnes of steel. Removed.
Project Lidl — 160m x 300m on plan— a steel-framed distribution centre in Yorkshire — came to us for value engineering. We reduced the design from roughly 4,950 tonnes to 4,200 tonnes. A 15% saving.
How? Revised truss configurations across 16–31 m spans, plus optimised main column design. No compromise on performance — just steel where the structure actually needs it, and nowhere it doesn’t.
Less tonnage means lower material costs, faster fabrication, quicker er****on, and a lighter embodied-carbon figure.
