Real-World Applications of Our Steel Structure Factory Solutions

Steel Structure Factory Shed Installed for a Chilean Mining Service Company

In Chile, we worked with a mining service company to address significant inefficiencies caused by inadequate infrastructure. The company had an original simple shed that could not support the installation of large overhead cranes, which were essential for lifting and repairing heavy crushing equipment. This limitation led to a reliance on manual labor and reduced overall work efficiency.

To resolve these issues, we provided a steel structure factory shed designed to cover the existing simple shed and expand the operating area. This new facility is equipped with a 32-ton double girder overhead crane, specifically chosen for its capacity to handle the heavy crushing equipment used in the mining operations.

Considerations for Steel Structure Factory Design

Designing a factory steel structure involves a variety of factors to ensure functionality, cost-effectiveness, and safety. Here are the key considerations:

  • Project Location: The geographical location of the project site is crucial. Different environments (e.g., coastal areas, mountainous regions) impact design requirements such as wind pressure and snow load.
  • Building Purpose: The intended use of the building – whether it’s for a factory, warehouse, shed, large-span steel grid structure, or multi-storey office building – determines the design specifications. Clearly defining the building’s purpose helps in detailing the design to meet actual operational needs.
  • Number of Buildings: Determine whether the project involves a single building or multiple structures. Multiple buildings require overall planning and coordination to ensure functional zoning and connectivity.
  • External Dimensions: Specify the steel structure factory building’s length, width, and height.
  • Span: Decide the span of the building, such as whether a 60-meter-wide metal structure factory will be divided into two 30-meter spans or three 20-meter spans.
  • Column Spacing: Specify if there are any particular requirements for column spacing.
  • Overhead Cranes: If the building will house overhead cranes, specify the number of cranes, their lifting capacities, lifting heights, crane heights, spans, and wheel loads.
  • Wall Enclosure: Determine whether insulation and heat retention are required, if there are specific needs for doors and windows, and if there are any special requirements for lighting.
  • Roof Enclosure: Decide if insulation and heat retention are needed for the roof, and if there are specific requirements for lighting and ventilation (such as ventilation fans or skylights).
  • Basic Wind Pressure (kPa): Wind pressure directly affects the amount of steel required for the steel structure building, so it’s important to consider whether the project site experiences strong winds, particularly for coastal locations.
  • Basic Snow Pressure (kPa): For areas with heavy snowfall, confirm if there are significant snow loads or snow-related hazards. This is crucial for designing steel structures to withstand severe weather conditions.

Benefits of Steel Structure for Factory

  • Durability and Strength: Structural steel is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This means it can support heavy loads and withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for industrial applications. Steel structures for factory are resistant to termites, decay, and many forms of corrosion, which ensures a longer lifespan with minimal maintenance.
  • Flexibility in Design: Steel’s inherent flexibility allows for a wide range of designs. It supports large open spaces with minimal columns, providing the flexibility to configure the factory layout according to operational needs. This adaptability is particularly useful for factories that require frequent reconfiguration of their workspace.
  • Speed of Construction: Prefabricated steel structure factory buildings are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site, which accelerates the construction process. This rapid assembly reduces labor costs and minimizes downtime, allowing factories to start operations sooner.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Although the initial cost of steel structure factory building might be higher compared to other materials, the long-term savings in maintenance, durability, and energy efficiency often outweigh the initial investment. Steel’s recyclability also contributes to its cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability.
  • Energy Efficiency: Steel frame factory can be designed with advanced insulation materials and energy-efficient systems, contributing to lower operational costs. Proper insulation and energy-efficient HVAC systems can significantly reduce the factory’s energy consumption.

Factory Structural Steel Construction

Main Components of Steel Structure Factory Buildings

Understanding the main components of a prefab steel structure can help in the planning, construction, and maintenance of these vital industrial facilities. Here’s a comprehensive look at the key components:

Factory Steel Structure Components

Primary Structural Framework:

The primary structural framework consists of the main load-bearing elements of the building. It typically includes:

  • Steel Columns: Vertical supports that bear the load of the building and transfer it to the foundation. They are usually made of rolled sections or welded plates.
  • Steel Beams: Horizontal members that span between columns to support the roof or floor loads. They are often I-beams or H-beams, designed to handle significant bending forces.
  • Rafters and Purlins: Inclined beams that form the roof structure. Rafters support the roof’s weight, while purlins are horizontal members that distribute the roof load.

Primary Structural Framework

Secondary Structural Components:

These components support the primary framework and contribute to the building’s overall stability:

  • Bracing Systems: Diagonal members that provide lateral stability to the structure, preventing swaying and deformation under wind or seismic loads. Common types include cross-bracing and knee-bracing.
  • Girts and Eave Struts: Horizontal members attached to the columns, providing support for the wall cladding and transferring loads to the main structure.
  • End Frames: The structural framework at the ends of the building that helps support the side walls and roof structure.

Secondary Structural Components

Roof and Wall Systems:

The roof and wall systems are crucial for weather protection and insulation:

  • Roof Panels: These panels can be made of various materials, including metal sheets, composite panels, or insulated panels. They protect the interior from environmental elements and contribute to energy efficiency.
  • Wall Cladding: Wall panels or sheets that cover the exterior of the building. They can be made from metal, composite materials, or insulated panels, providing thermal insulation and protection from the elements.

Roof And Wall Systems

Doors and Windows:

These components provide access and ventilation to the building:

  • Industrial Doors: Heavy-duty doors designed for frequent use, often including rolling shutters, sliding doors, or sectional doors.
  • Windows: Typically, windows in factory buildings are designed to provide natural light and ventilation while maintaining security and insulation.

Doors And Windows

All these main components are pre-fabricated in the manufacturer’s factory, including pre-punching, pre-drilling, and pre-welding. This approach significantly shortens construction time, reducing costs and saving time.
