Perhaps contact the dehumidifier people to dry the thing out. I think there are flood-salvage services that do that kind of thing.

One story metal building used as office, locker room, electric room in CT plant.
Floor is ceramic tile.
a swale goes by plant.
around the building was paved with concrete slab recently (4 yrs)

This is not sounding like a structural engineering topic yet!
RE: Flooded Bldg
If there is gypsum board on some of the walls, the bottom part which has been wet will require removal. If you don't do that, mould contamination will result.

I don't know where and how to find the source and where water coming from?
Anybody any ideas?

If you have a thermal camera, they can be a great help. If not then work your way through a list:
Is this potable water? Are there pipes nearby?
Is this rainwater from a roof leak.
What equipment is nearby that generates water (air conditioners etc.)
Are their fluid storage tanks nearby?
Are their drain lines in the the floor where water could be leaking from.
We might need to start a plumbing forum for this post?

Considering the fact that we know absolutely nothing about the building, I would suggest the chance of anyone being able to give specific help would be about 0.
Is there a water table problem?
is if partly underground?
Is it fully submerged?
Did someone leave a tap running?
If you get the water out, you might be able to see where it is coming from! Unfortunately, none of us are physcic, as far as I know, so I doubt that we can help.

You are not a newbee on these forums , you know better details give you better answers, so far you have not given enough information for anybody to give you a definitive answer , all you are getting is shots in the dark, you know better than that.
