Civil and structural engineering philosophies used in African brewery projects
Abstract eng: The hi-tech world of the brewing and packaging process is one which is underpinned, shaped and influenced by many factors—some environmental and others technical or financial. This paper describes the challenges, philosophy and processes encountered during the planning of two major project sites in Accra (Ghana) and in Onitsha (Nigeria) that involved a substantial amount of civil and structural input and design planning. There are standard areas on a brewery site, yet contained within each is a web of mechanical, structural and microbiological intricacy. A basic understanding of the brewing process is essential in order to plan a brewery or a brewery extension—this paper puts together a basic understanding and summary of the art, science and process involved from a civil/structural engineer’s perspective with the goal being to create a basic framework of understanding for future reference. The two projects are used as reference to the basic elements and concepts that go into a functional brewery.
