Inocon Industrial Plants GmbH 20-239

Biller Reinhart Engineering Group provided structural engineering services for the MAPEI Wildwood Powder Plant at 4405 Northeast 82nd Avenue in Wildwood, Florida. The assignment supported a new powder plant facility. A structural steel tower 37.5 feet wide by 133.33 feet in length and 105.65 feet height initially was designed to support production Lines 1 and 2. A third production line was added during the design process expanding the steel plant structure from 133.33 feet to 220.83 feet in length. 

Working with InoCon Industrial Plants, the plant and equipment designer, and Ingenova Servicios de Ingeniería, the structural designer for the steel structure, Biller Reinhart served as the Florida-licensed Engineer of Record responsible for substantiating the final steel design and signing and sealing the construction documents needed for building permit approval. The scope included review of available equipment loading data, Ingenova’s calculations, and final structural construction documents, including drawings and specifications. 

The review extended beyond the principal steel frame to the industrial components that shape the working tower: stair stringers, stair treads, handrail and guardrail assemblies, grating, girts, sag rods, roof purlins, and related ancillary elements. Biller Reinhart also coordinated with Ingenova on a Threshold Inspection Plan for the powder plant structure, anticipated by Sumter County under its joint planning agreement with the City of Wildwood. 

Although foundation design, the adjacent warehouse, and equipment housed within the warehouse were excluded, the assignment placed Biller Reinhart at a critical point in the project’s delivery. By bringing Florida professional engineering oversight to an internationally coordinated industrial design, the firm helped move the structure from concept toward permit-ready construction documents.

Along with MAPEI Powder Plant, Houston, TX, these assignments demonstrate Biller Reinhart’s ability to bridge international industrial design and U.S. code compliance. Across both facilities, the firm helped translate specialized process-plant concepts into permit-ready structural documents, bringing disciplined review, Engineer-of-Record responsibility, and practical permitting support to MAPEI’s expanding powder plant operations.
