Steel Structure Workshop Of Paper Mill
Steel usage: 1200 tons for the main steel structure
Grid column: purlin weighing 100 tons
Project location: Saudi Arabia
Features and Advantages of Steel Structure Industrial Buildings
1. Structural Characteristics
Main Framework: Utilizes steel columns, beams, purlins, and other components to form a stable load-bearing system.
Enclosure Structure: Typically employs color steel plates, sandwich panels, or metal cladding for lightweight construction with thermal insulation.
Large Span: No intermediate columns, maximizing space utilization (common spans of 20-50 meters).
Modular Design: Standardized components enable rapid installation and future expansion.
2. Key Advantages
✅ Fast Construction: Factory prefabrication + on-site assembly reduces construction time by over 40% compared to concrete buildings.
✅ Cost-Effective: Lightweight materials lower foundation costs, with total savings of 15%-30%.
✅ Flexible Layout: Interior space can be freely partitioned to accommodate production line adjustments.
✅ High Durability: Anti-corrosion coatings + fireproofing treatments extend service life to 50+ years.
3. Typical Applications
Industrial Plants: Machinery manufacturing, automotive assembly, logistics warehouses (e.g., Tesla Gigafactory).
Specialized Workshops: Aerospace, shipbuilding, and other industries requiring large, high-clearance spaces.
Agricultural Facilities: Greenhouses, livestock barns (light steel framing).
4. Critical Technical Considerations
Wind Resistance: Enhanced joint connections for high wind loads (especially in typhoon-prone regions).
Fire Protection: Fire-resistant coatings (e.g., thin/thick-film) to meet耐火极限 (fire endurance) requirements.
Drainage System: Roof slope design + gutter drainage to prevent water accumulation.
5. Future Trends
Smart Factories: Integrated solar roofs, intelligent ventilation systems.
Green Certification: Use of recycled steel to meet LEED/BREEAM standards.
Case Study: An e-commerce logistics warehouse using a portal frame structure completed 10,000㎡ in 30 days, cutting construction time by 60% versus traditional methods.
