Engineering Efficiency from the Ground Up
Structural Engineering for Manufacturing Facilities
Transforming manufacturing
From food processing to automotive assembly, the manufacturing industry is transforming and so are its facilities. At Bennett & Pless, we’ve delivered structural engineering services for manufacturing facilities since the 1960s, helping owners adapt to changing technology, growing capacity needs, and complex design requirements.
We specialize in advanced manufacturing environments where heavy loads, hazardous materials, and highly specific equipment demand structural insight and experience.
Our deep understanding of production flow, foundation design, and future expansion planning makes us a trusted partner for manufacturers across the country.
Why manufacturing facilities demand a specialist approach
Manufacturing evolves and the structures that support it must do the same. Today’s advanced manufacturing facilities must balance strength, flexibility, and efficiency while accommodating everything from thermal systems and chemical containment to heavy machinery and automated processes.
That’s why we don’t just design for what’s now, we engineer for what’s next.
Our approach to structural engineering for manufacturing facilities
Our team brings real-world experience, a deep understanding of process-driven facility design, and a hands-on approach to every project. We collaborate closely with owners and manufacturers to understand workflows, production needs, and future expansion goals.
Whether it’s laying out optimal framing systems, supporting elevated machinery, or accounting for thermal movement and blast protection, we deliver structural designs that are technically sound and operationally effective.
Our work is always grounded in your goals.
