INDUSTRIAL PLANNING
DEFENITION
&
CLASSIFICATION
INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISION
ØA track of land partitioned into lots for sale or lease to
establishments engaged primarily in industrial
production and services.
ØThe degree of the development may be limited to the
provision of the utilities and allocation of areas for
industrial buildings, facilities and amenities.

INDUSTRIAL PLOT
ØAlso called “factory plot”, an allocated lot within
industrial subdivision intended for industrial or factory
used and where such factory is located
INDUSTRIAL ESTATE
A form of industrial subdivision characterized by three
basic features:

1. It is developed according to a comprehensive

plan
2.Continuing management of the entire area is left
to a single controlling body
3.Screening industries is undertaken prior to
development.
 INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
ØNon-pollutive, non-hazardous industries
ØCustomary support facilities for industries such as
housing, community, utilities, and services
ØBuilding/structure with lesser negative environmental
impact
ØCharacterized mainly as low rise but sprawling building
Example:
-ice plants/cold storage
-power plants (thermal, hydro or geothermal)
-pumping plants
-factories & workshop using incombustible or
non-explosive materials

Ø
MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL
ØStorage and hazardous industrial
ØPollutive/non-hazardous industries and
pollutive/hazardous industries only.
ØA medium industrial use or occupancy, characterized
mainly as low rise but sprawling building for medium
intensity manufacturing or production activities.

MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION

vMedium Industrial which shall include storage and
handling of hazardous and highly flammable materials
Example:
-storage tanks, building for storing gasoline,etc.
-Armories, arsenals, munitions factories
-match and fireworks factories
-plastics processing plants
-all type of large complexes for public utilities
Ø

Ø
vMedium Industrial which shall include storage and
handling of hazardous and flammable materials

activities, paper cardboard manufacturers, textile and
garments factories
Example:

Ø

Ø
vMedium Industrial for repair garages and engine
manufacturers

-factories for engines and turbines and
attached testing facilities

vMedium industrial for aircraft facilities

Example:
-Hangars
-manufacturers and assembly plants of
aircraft engines
-Repairs and testing shops for aircraft
engines and parts

Ø
CLASSIFICATION OF INDUSTRIES
1. ACCORDING TO RESOURCE
•Resource-Oriented Industries. These are characterized
by the large proportion of raw materials value to total
production value. They are located in areas where resources
are available, thus minimizing added cost to the
transportation of raw materials.
•Market-Oriented Industries. These include processing
which usually adds bulk and weight to the products. Hence,
Ø
distribution costs and other related problems are minimized
if they are located near marketing centers.
•Footloose Industries. These industries are second-stage
users where processing cost of materials count more than
transfer costs. Thus, they are located where their linkages
are greatest.
2. ACCORDING TO CAPITALIZATION

Cottage Industry. An activity with total assets not exceeding

P500,000.

Small Scale Industries. Total assets should be P500,000 to

P5,000,000.
Ø Scale Industries. Total assets should be
Medium
P5,000,000 to P20,000,000.

Large Scale Industries. Total assets should be over P20

million.
3. ACCORDING TO HAZARD/RISKS

Hazardous Industries. These are fire and health hazards.

Non-hazardous industries discharge negligible amounts of
combustible or toxic wastes.

Pollutant Industries. These industries discharge large

amounts of air, water or solid pollutants. Pollutant industries
emitØlittle or negligible amounts of these pollutants.
Light. Non-pollutive / non-hazardous; non-pollutive/
hazardous
Medium. Pollutive / non-hazardous; pollutive/ hazardous
Heavy. Highly pollutive / non-hazardous; highly pollutive /
hazardous; highly pollutive/ extremely hazardous
4. ACCORDING TO EMPLOYMENT SIZE

Cottage Industries. Industries with an employment of

less than 10 workers.

Small Scale Industries. Industries with 10 to 99 employees.

Ø Scale Industries. Industries with 100 to 199

Medium
employees.

Large Scale Industries. Industries with 200 or more

employees

CONSIDERATIONS
AND
GUIDELINES
-
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING CONSIDERATIONS
AND GUIDELINES
ØThe consultant must be well informed of the kind of
products to be manufactured, the volume produced,
and other information relative to the production and
manner of processing.
Ø
ØManagement considers the need on a long range
plan, not just for immediate needs only. The entire
plant site are laid out for at least 20 to 25 years
duration with the particular building structures built to
serve only the needs for the next five years.
ØAfter the selection of the site, the initial breakdown of area
allocation for buildings include:
Ø
1.ADMINISTRATION OFFICES
-It pertains to the management of the building
2.EMPLOYEES FACILITIES
-It pertains to the workers amenities and should be
near the working space for accessibility.
3.RESEARCH AND CONTROL
-It pertains to the development of the facilities
4.MANUFACTURING
-It pertains to production and processing
5.WAREHOUSING
-It pertains to the storage handling of materials and
product

Ø
5. INTERNAL ENGINEERING
-adequate spaces for mechanical and electrical
installations are the primary consideration in industrial
design.
6. EXTERNAL ENGINEERING

facilities needed for a plant to operate efficiently. It
includes the following:
-parking space
-truck docks
-tank farms
-sewage disposal plant
-electrical transformer
-pumping station
-water storage facilities

Ø
 PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING

depending upon the kinds and number of products
1. production layout could be linear
2.processing layout is parallel.

PLANNING CRITERIA FOR PRODUCTION EVALUATION

1.Easy and smooth flow of materials
2.Flexible to rearrangement
3.Room for expansions
4.Easy movements of personnel
5.Ease of supervision
6.Minimum initial investment.

Ø
 PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING LAYOUT

Ø
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING DESIGN CONSIDERATION
S INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

1.GENERAL /SPECIAL PURPOSE BUILDING

-less initial cost and can be sold later for profit
-frequently changing products, materials, machinery
and equipments process
- fast of getting the layout into production
2.SINGLE OR MULTI-STORY CONSTRUCTION
-when products are large and heavy
-when weight of equipment impose greater load on
floor
-large items that requires unobstructed space
-lower cost of land
-land is available for expansions
- construction time is limited
- frequent changes in layout are anticipated
3.SHAPE OF BUILDING
Building Shape is governed by the following conditions:
1. when changes in design production is frequent
2. when the process in improvement is frequent
3.when layout rearrangement is frequent
4. when restrictions on materials is desired

4. TYPES OF WINDOWS
Factors where windows may affect the layout
1.brightness or glare
2.orientation of the sun
3.effects of sunlight to personnel or materials
4.windows not resistant to wind, shock, fire, acids &
rust
5. access fro repair, washing and cleaning

Ø
5.KINDS OF FLOOR
Floor characteristics desired in a factory are the ff:
1. have the same level for various buildings
2. strong enough to sustain machineries and
equipment
3.made from inexpensive materials
4. not slippery under any condition
5.noiseless, sound absorbing
6.not affected by temperature change and humidity
7.odorless, sanitary and easily cleaned
8. will dissipate static electricity and is non-
sparkling when struck

6.WALLS AND COLUMNS

The type and conditions of the roof is related to
natural light, heat condition, and dust accumulation. Thre
are plants that suspend materials handling equipment,
service pipe or wiring. Roof structural design therefore,
must anticipate either condition.
7.TYPES OF ROOF AND CELING
