JNE Pre-Engineered Buildings
JNE Consulting Ltd. has been involved in pre-engineered buildings for various industries with a variety of
end-uses. Although most pre-engineered buildings are typical and only differ subtly from each other, the
cost-effectiveness of their construction and efficient planning by JNE to meet end-user needs set these
buildings apart.
JNE has worked on buildings with cost and schedule constraints as well as unique parameters, such as
maintaining traffic flow during construction or allowing existing production facilities to continue operating
during construction.
Design-build and full engineering services are also provided as required. JNE is able to develop a project
from feasibility to occupancy or any stage in between, and deliver a package that meets the customer’s
needs. Below are a few examples of recent pre-engineered buildings provided by JNE:
The No. 2 Tube Mill Warehouse is located on Dofasco Inc property (see photo). The 125,000-square-foot
building was erected in an unused coil yard to store tubes from No. 1 and No. 2 Tube Mills. The warehouse
is a pre-engineered steel building system with a mono-slope roof and a humidity control system for product
protection. A roadway through the old coil yard was still being used during construction, so construction was
phased to accommodate traffic. Upon completion of the north half of the warehouse, the road was diverted
and the south half of the building was completed.
When Laurel Steel expanded its Burlington, Ontario, facility,
JNE provided design-build services for the plant/warehouse
expansion, as well as the office/employee facility expansion.
The warehouse expansion was a 40,000-square-foot
pre-engineered steel building with a sprinkler fire protection
system and a 65-foot high-bay section for the automated“High-reach Storage and Retrieval System”. The warehouse
included an under-slung 10-ton pendant crane, shipping
conveyors, depressed shipping area, separate partitioned
product storage area and skylights.
JNE’s scope of work included project management, site
and underground services (including parking and
landscaping), construction engineering, foundation floor
slab, structural steel, architectural details, mechanical/
electrical services and building permits.
JNE provided preliminary and detailed engineering for a
56,000-square-foot building expansion for Velcro
Canada Inc., a just-in-time manufacturer for the
automotive industry in Brampton, Ontario. Part of JNE’s
scope of work included providing new services to the
building expansion, including a new transformer, while
maintaining service to the existing production facility.
The scope of JNE’s engineering also included general
arrangement plans, sections, elevations and detailed
foundation design. Electrical drawings were provided
for feeder supply cable routing, power distribution
and interior and exterior lighting. Mechanical design
was provided for building HVAC, fire protection and sanitary
drainage.
Engineering was also provided for two two-storey office structures within the new and existing building
envelopes, consisting of offices, labs and a training complex.
A design-build package for Mitsui Auto Steel Canada of Cambridge, Ontario, included engineering
services for a 128,000-square-foot coil storage and office building, including detailed design for the
foundation for this pre-engineered building complete with site services engineering, including storm water
management and site grading and drainage.
