Portal Steel Frame Factory Building | High strength, light weight, good seismic performance, short construction period, recyclable

Project Overview

The construction of this project not only fills the gap in modern industrial factory buildings of this type in the local area but also injects new vitality into local industrial development. It helps attract upstream and downstream enterprises in the relevant industrial chain to gather, promoting local industrial upgrading and economic growth.

Project Challenges and Solutions

Differences in Building Codes and Standards

Challenge: There are significant differences in building codes and standards between different countries, involving structural design, fire safety, seismic grades, and other aspects.
Solution: In the early stage of the project, a team composed of professional engineers in architecture and structure was established to conduct in-depth research on local building codes, standards, and related laws and regulations. At the same time, a well-known local architectural consulting firm was hired to participate in the design and approval process of the project, ensuring that the project design plan fully complies with local requirements. During the design process, close communication was maintained with local relevant departments regarding some key structural parameters and technical indicators to make timely adjustments and optimizations.

Material Procurement and Transportation Difficulties

Challenge: For steel materials required for steel structures, if transported from China, the cost is high, the transportation cycle is long, and there may be uncertainties such as customs inspections; if purchased locally, there may be problems such as substandard material quality and mismatched specifications.
Solution: After a detailed investigation of the local material market, several steel suppliers with good reputation and strength were selected, and strict quality inspection was conducted on the materials provided by them to ensure that the material quality meets the project design standards. For some special specification materials that cannot be purchased locally, supply contracts were signed with large domestic iron and steel enterprises. At the same time, professional international logistics and transportation companies were selected to sign detailed transportation contracts, clarify the rights and responsibilities of both parties, and ensure that materials are delivered to the construction site on time and safely.

Adaptability of Construction Team

Challenge: Local construction teams may be unfamiliar with the steel structure construction technology of portal steel frame factory buildings, lacking relevant construction experience and skills, which will affect the construction progress and quality. At the same time, language communication barriers may also lead to inaccurate transmission of construction instructions, affecting construction efficiency.
Solution: Before the project starts, the local construction team was organized for systematic training, including steel structure construction technology, safety operation procedures, quality acceptance standards, etc. At the same time, experienced technical personnel from China were dispatched to be stationed on-site for guidance, demonstrating key construction links on-site, and timely solving technical problems encountered during construction. To solve language communication problems, professional translators were hired to ensure accurate transmission of construction instructions and improve construction efficiency.

Technical Highlights

  • Innovative Node Connection Technology: High-strength bolts and welding combined connection are adopted to improve node bearing capacity and structural integrity. Optimized through mechanical simulation to adapt to local seismic requirements.
  • High-performance Material Application: Low-alloy high-strength steel is selected with special anti-corrosion treatment on the surface, extending the service life by more than 50% and adapting to the local climate environment.
  • In-depth Application of BIM Technology: A 3D model is established to simulate the entire construction process, identifying and solving problems in advance, optimizing the construction process, and improving the efficiency of collaboration between design and construction.
  • Automated Construction Equipment: Introducing automated welding equipment and high-precision measuring instruments to improve the processing accuracy of components and installation quality, and accelerate the construction progress.
  • IoT Monitoring System: Real-time monitoring of construction site progress, quality, and safety, with timely data feedback to achieve visual and controllable management of the construction process.
