Custom-Built Structures for Hygienic Environments

At IPM, we design and build custom structures based on structural calculations and engineering designs, with a focus on both mechanical integrity and hygienic standards.

These solutions are ideal for high-sanitation production areas in the food and beverage industry, where strict hygiene requirements must be met throughout the process environment.

Most structural components are made from steel alloys, especially stainless steel, which is widely used in industrial applications due to its exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and hygienic properties. These materials ensure not only structural strength, but also full compliance with sanitary design principles.

 

Structural Integrity and Metal Framework Design

Thanks to the structural analysis conducted prior to each installation, the metal structures we build are engineered to provide:

  • Sufficient strength to ensure the building remains intact under expected loads

  • Stability, preventing displacement or unwanted movement

  • Resistance, so that even under significant force, the structure does not deform or deteriorate

All structures are composed of two main components:

  • The primary metal framework, which forms the core load-bearing system

  • The secondary structure, which supports and distributes operational loads

At IPM, we fabricate and assemble all structural components in compliance with AWS D1.1 standards, ensuring each weld meets the quality, safety, and durability requirements demanded by industrial environments.

Hygienic Structural Design for Food & Beverage Environments

When it comes to designing and installing structures for high-hygiene applications—especially inside food and beverage production areas where product contact may occur—IPM goes beyond structural integrity.

In addition to ensuring load capacity, stability, and compliance with building codes, our designs strictly follow hygienic engineering principles to:

  • Prevent the accumulation of dust, foreign objects, and microorganisms

  • Minimize contamination risks in areas with direct or indirect contact with food

  • Support the overarching goal of guaranteeing food safety and product integrity

These structures are carefully engineered to meet the most rigorous cleanability and hygiene standards, helping clients maintain compliance with international food safety regulations and uphold best practices in sanitary facility design.
