Project Details

Project snapshot

  • Sector: Flooring production and logistics
  • Location: Thailand, industrial zone
  • Scope: Design support, detailing, fabrication, coatings, export packing, on‑site advisory
  • Systems: Multi‑span portal frames, mezzanine walkways, insulated metal cladding

Overview

We delivered a high‑bay steel factory for a flooring producer in Thailand. The pre‑engineered system achieves long clear spans, fast erection, and a low‑maintenance envelope.

A crisp silver façade with ribbed panels presents a modern brand image. Dark plinth panels protect high‑wear areas and simplify future cleaning and repainting.

Client brief and site context

The client needed a reliable, expandable plant with efficient airflow and daylight. Monsoon weather, high humidity and tight timelines were key constraints.

Our solution pairs robust frames with corrosion‑resistant finishes and rapid installation. Modular bays allow phased expansion without interrupting production.

Structural solution

Heavy H‑section columns and rafters form multi‑span portals with braced bays for stability. Galvanized Z‑purlins and C‑girts support roof and wall cladding with minimal deflection.

Integrated steel platforms and bright yellow staircases provide safe access to equipment levels. The structure is crane‑ready, with reserved connection points for future material‑handling rails.

Envelope and daylighting

Ribbed metal wall panels and insulated roof sheeting deliver thermal performance and acoustic control. Continuous skylight strips bring uniform daylight to the production floor.

High‑level louvres and vent bands promote natural cross‑ventilation. Glazing at worker height improves visibility and safety along the production lines.

Durability in tropical climates

Primary members are factory‑blasted, zinc‑rich primed and finished with polyurethane coats. Galvanized secondary steel and stainless fasteners resist corrosion in humid, coastal conditions.

Deep gutters, protected downpipes and robust flashing details manage monsoon rain. All exterior sealants and gaskets are specified for UV and heat exposure.

Safety and quality assurance

We used fall‑arrest nets, boom lifts and certified rigging throughout erection. Welds follow WPS/PQR procedures, with NDT on critical joints and torque‑logged bolts.

Every member is numbered, check‑assembled and recorded in our ITP for full traceability. This reduces site rework and keeps the programme predictable.

Programme and logistics

Steel was packaged by erection sequence for quick lifting with mobile cranes. Local crews received a marked set‑out and digital shop drawings for smooth assembly.

The shell and core were closed in rapidly, allowing early MEP and line installation. This fast‑track approach brought the plant online ahead of the seasonal peak.

Performance benefits

  • Column‑free production aisles and generous headroom for process equipment.
  • Lower daytime lighting demand via skylights and light‑coloured interiors.
  • Comfortable working conditions with natural ventilation and insulated panels.
  • Easy cleaning surfaces and durable coatings reduce long‑term maintenance.

What we supplied

  • Concept refinement and connection design
  • Full shop drawings and BIM coordination points
  • Fabrication, coatings, QC documentation and export packing
  • On‑site technical guidance and handover manuals

Optimisation suggestions (next phase)

  • Add HVLS fans and ridge vents to boost airflow on still days.
  • Install rooftop solar and a smart metering system to cut energy costs.
  • Integrate rainwater harvesting for landscape and process use.
  • Pre‑fit crane rails and extra mezzanine modules for future capacity.

Outcome

The new steel facility presents a professional face to clients and inspectors. It is reliable, safe and easy to expand—built for Thailand’s climate and for sustained 24/7 production.

Project Evaluation

"
“From design to handover, the team delivered our flooring plant in Thailand on time and on budget. The steel structure gives us wide, column‑free space, great daylight and ventilation, and safe access platforms. Coatings and details handle the tropical climate well, and the building is ready for future expansion—highly recommend.”
