Hybrid facilities
High fire resistance and span thanks to reinforced concrete columns and steel girders.
Application of hybrid halls
Hybrid halls – modern solutions for industry and logistics.
Hybrid halls combine the advantages of reinforced concrete and steel. Precast reinforced concrete columns form the main load-bearing structure, while a lightweight steel roof structure, constructed from trusses or plate girders, ensures flexibility and cost optimization. This combination is particularly effective in logistics centers and warehouses, where the high fire resistance of reinforced concrete and the ease of installation on a steel roof are essential. A hybrid structure is also ideal for manufacturing plants – the massive reinforced concrete columns effectively support overhead crane loads and are resistant to damage in operational areas. Thanks to these features, hybrid halls are ideal for facilities with stringent fire safety requirements, offering a naturally high fire resistance rating.

Advantages of investing in hybrid halls.
Choosing a hybrid system is a decision that combines functionality with economy. Combining the durability, load-bearing capacity, and fire resistance of reinforced concrete columns with the lightness and cost-effectiveness of a steel roof structure creates an optimal solution for modern halls. Reinforced concrete columns provide a high level of fire safety, effectively resisting fire and maintaining their load-bearing capacity for a long time. They also boast high mechanical resistance – prefabricated columns better withstand accidental impacts, such as those from forklifts, than steel elements. Lightweight steel roof girders, on the other hand, reduce costs, especially with long spans. Thanks to hybrid technology, designers have complete freedom in shaping the space and installing roof systems.
A logistics facility constructed using a hybrid design. Case study.
Building a logistics facility using hybrid technology is an excellent way to optimize warehousing processes, product safety, and investment costs. This solution combines reinforced concrete support columns with a lightweight steel roof, creating a durable, functional, and economical structure.
We implemented a hybrid design for the 40,000 m² Indeka logistics center. Precast reinforced concrete columns form the main load-bearing structure, ensuring high fire resistance and mechanical strength in areas with heavy forklift traffic, while also enabling efficient use of space. The lightweight steel roof structure allowed for large spans and the rapid installation of systems such as sprinklers and lighting, significantly contributing to the optimization of investment costs. The hybrid design used in this project is a well-thought-out compromise that allows for the creation of a safe, durable facility fully adapted to the specific nature of logistics operations, providing optimal space for efficient warehouse operations.
