1. INTRODUCTION

The Greenfield brewery is projected at Meoqui, on a site located around 70 km south-east of the
city Chihuahua, in Mexico and about 433 km from El Paso (TX), 1.080 km from San Antonio (TX)
and 750 km from Monterrey.
The site is next to the Pan Americana highway (Mexico 48). Truck access will be for a new road
from Meoqui to the site (blue lines). From the highway there will be no direct access for trucks to
the site. Cars from the highway from the direction of Chihuahua could potentially exit the highway
straight to the brewery. Cars from the direction of Delicias have to go via the new road from
Meoqui (same as trucks). The site will have a rail road connection (green line) from the existing
rail road line. The rail road will be mainly used for raw Material supplies and potentially for
Intermodal transport of Finished Products.

5. STRUCTURAL SCOPE OF WORK

The Structural Engineering Firm has to perform the preliminary design and detailing engineering
for the structures and buildings as indicated in the preview list; as well as pipe bridge, foundations,
floor slabs, process equipment foundations, concrete and masonry walls, utilities equipment
supports and foundations as described in this basis of design.

It part of Heineken design philosophy to focus worldwide on both prefabricated building design
and standardization of the total design as much as possible.
The Consultant shall take into account that all main buildings within the Chihuahua project should
also be pre-engineered buildings, designed in such a way that these buildings can easily be
extended in the future.

6. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT

Local regulations allow through the development of a geophysical survey of soil and the
determination of regional seismic hazard, obtain a site seismic spectrum of design [Ref B.1],
which represents a better way to obtain the maximum probable earthquake that may occurs in the
geographical area of interest.

It exists a complete Geotechnical Study by Company inGeum [Ref E.1], which is the reference to
development the seismic forces analysis. The Structural Detailing Engineering firm will
complement this report if it considers necessary for the development of the seismic design of the
project according to CFE Seismic Design Code (MDOC) 2008 [Ref B.1].

The Structural Detailing Engineering firm should review the geotechnical studies to verify that the
number of borings, the locations and information reported is adequate, may be required to perform
additional geotechnical information to complete the detailed design.

7. FOUNDATION

Foundation system:

The foundations for the buildings shall be designed in accordance with the recommendations of a
survey of soil, American Concrete Institute Standards, and the governing codes and regulations
listed in section 4 of these basis.

a) The geotechnical report [Ref E.1] recommends the foundation types:

Alternative 1: Square spread footings.

Alternative 2: Drill shafts piles if this produces a less expensive or faster construction.
Alternative 3: Mat foundation.

STRUCTURAL

The bearing soil capacities are defined in the attached geotechnical report, in case to require a
confirmation or additional values of design parameters to get a satisfactory engineering, a New
Additional Report shall be performed by the geotechnical consultant.

The final foundations depth shall consider the resistance layer and the final top of concrete (TOC)
of the slab on grade. It has to be coordinated with the site earth works drawings included in the
project documents

b) In the case of piers or piles, according to the recommendation of the geotechnical report side
resistance of drilled shaft can be disregarded because they will be relatively short. The piers will
drive their load capacity through end bearing and should bear in the appropriate soil layer.

c) Provide waterproofing, water stops and foundation drainage where appropriate.

8. SLAB ON GRADE

a) A minimum reinforced slab design thickness of 200 mm (8 in) is required in all areas to
accommodate initial floor loads and to provide versatility. For Manufacturing and Process Areas,
increased slab thickness is preferable to adding reinforcing.

b) Flatness / Levelness requirements shall be considered to provide a finished slab surface

acceptable to the Owner. This bases of design is based on the Heineken requirement flatness
level +/- 4 mm in 2m x 2m area.

c) The Structural detailing engineering firm shall provide concrete slab curing methods and
products compatible with floor finish systems that will minimize shrinkage cracking and curling of
the slab.

d) Minimum surface treatment for floors shall be a chemical hardener sealer and densifier (See
room Book).

e) Construction joint will be dowelled. Diamond Dowel is preferable. Tooled construction joint and
saw cut control joint shall be filled with semi-rigid or rigid epoxy joint filler. (To be verify where it
will be used)

f) Columns Isolation Joints: Diamond shaped or round joints.

g) If recommended, a continuous vapor barrier will be placed bellow the concrete slab on grade,
equipment pits and floor trench.

h) Provide steel edge angle at all openings in factory floors. Provide integral, flush cover plates or
grating where applicable. Cover plates or grating must be designed for anticipated loads from fork
trucks or other anticipated traffic.

j) Equipment Pads

Process Machining Equipment

Isolation equipment pads shall be provided for the equipment that produces impact loads and
vibrations that would be undesirable to adjacent operations and occupants. The Isolation will
typically be limited to the slab edge around the perimeter of the pad and should be shown in the
construction drawings. It is responsibility of the Structural detailing engineering firm that below of
the equipment pad, a bearing soil capacity shall be appropriated according with the reactions
forces provided by the equipment manufacturer Design, dimensions and quantity of the equipment
foundation shall be defined by the Structural detailing engineering firm based on the mechanical
basis of design and the suggested foundation shown in the vendor drawings of process
equipment.

k) The compaction level in the embankment should have 95% of maximum dry density of the
standard Proctor test.

9. STRUCTURAL STEEL

The design of the steel structure should take into account the following requirements:

a) Columns and beams in brew house shall be closed box section in primary and secondary

d) For Minimum clear height see architectural basis of design included in the project documents

e) Horizontal Stability

-Horizontal wind and seismic loads will be resisted by moment frames, portal frames, vertical
bracing, or a combination of systems.

-Locate vertical bracing (where required) only at perimeter walls. These locations should be
approved by the Owner.

g) Purlins on the roof

This document presents the necessary procedures to determine the wind speeds in Mexico and
minimum forces corresponding, to be used for the wind design types structures described herein.
In determining wind speeds is considered only those effects of storms that normally occur during
the year around the country and those caused by hurricanes in the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and
from the Caribbean.
It is important to note that the recommendations presented here should applied to determine the
safety of the system and its main structure parties to the actions (push or suctions) produced by
the wind on building surfaces and transmitted to said system.
Also, these recommendations apply to the local design elements directly exposed to the wind,
whether they are part of structural system, such as ropes and diagonals, as those that are just
coating, for example, sheet covers, and glass façade elements.

11.6 Seismic Loads

As stablished in section 4 of these basis, it has calculated the site seismic spectrum, according
with the requirements of MDOC-CFE-93-DS [Ref B.1]. This a uniform hazard spectrum at the
2000 year return period. It is a transparent spectrum with site effects, because does not have any
reduction by ductility, overstrength or redundancy.

Fig 4 shows the transparent spectrum obtained with the next seismic parameters:

Fig 4 also shows the seismic design spectrum (blue color) which was calculated using the most
common reduction parameters in practice for buildings. The dashed red line is the seismic design
spectrum according with local code.
