Project dimension: 67.04x90.30x15.3m-16m

Project location: Israel

Project function: Cold storage warehouse

On April 29, 2026, Dorian was honored to welcome two distinguished clients from Israel to our factory in Luoyang, China, for an in-depth discussion on a 67.04 meter wide, 90.30 meter long cold storage project with an eave height of 15.3 meters and a ridge height of 16 meters. Initiated by the client themselves through WhatsApp, and cultivated through countless exchanges, design revisions, and engineering consultations leading up to this pivotal face-to-face meeting.

Prior to the visit, two of the numerous revisions the project had undergone were particularly significant. The first major revision concerned design standards.The first option was designed by our engineers according to Chinses standards for the client. Later, the client's engineers designed European standard drawings. We quoted a price based on the European standard drawings, but the client felt that the tonnage according to the European standard was too heavy, so they did not choose the European standard. After discussion, the client decided to adopt Chinese national standards. The second key revision involved adjusting the foundation drawings to align with the client's foundation plans and the specific climatic conditions of the Israeli project site, ensuring the design could reliably operate under local environmental requirements.

Upon the client's arrival at noon on April 29, the Dorian team greeted them warmly and arranged a welcoming lunch, followed by a cultural tour of Luoyang's iconic landmarks—Yingtian Gate, the Heaven Temple, and the Ming Tang. Recognizing the toll of long-haul travel, the team also arranged a Traditional Chinese massage , which the client thoroughly enjoyed. This thoughtful hospitality set a collaborative and trusting tone for the technical discussions ahead.

The following morning, April 30, the focus shifted to the factory and the core of the visit: finalizing the cold storage project design. Three critical modifications were confirmed during the technical meeting. First, the eave height was adjusted from 15 to 15.3 meters. The previous scheme had designed the building with a 14 meter clearance measured from the cold room floor to the top surface of the 150mm PIR panel. However, the client required a 14 meter clear internal net height. Dorian's engineers proposed increasing the eave height by 30 centimeters to accommodate this requirement while keeping the ridge height unchanged at 16 meters. Second, the concrete structure dimensions were revised. The original design had followed the client's foundation layout, sizing the concrete office area at 15.668*17.955*11 meters. After confirmation with the client's engineer, this was refined to 7.75*12.16*11 meters. Since foundation work was already underway at the site and two necessary foundations were missing from the concrete section, Dorian's engineers recommended adding them, and the client confirmed they would implement this change on-site. Third, an indoor suspended structure was added to support the refrigeration system fans—a vital component for the cold storage's operational performance.

After the meeting, the client toured Dorian's production factory, observing the complete prefabrication process, advanced manufacturing equipment, finished steel components, and packaged orders ready for shipment. In the afternoon, the team visited a 50,000-square-meter multi-story workshop project in Luoyang, the customer expressed great satisfaction.

On May 1, the client visited the sandwich panel factory, where they examined the PIR panel manufacturing process and finished products in detail, expressing great satisfaction with the panel quality. Meanwhile, Dorian's engineers completed the revised drawings, and that afternoon both parties reviewed the updated plans together, reaching full agreement on all modifications.

May 2 began with visits to two refrigeration equipment factories in Jiaozuo and Zhengzhou, where the client confirmed their specifications and brand preferences for the refrigeration system. After the technical visits, the Dorian team took the client shopping—a gesture that was met with genuine delight. That evening, back at the office, the final project plan was officially confirmed. The client indicated they would need to convene with their team in Israel to finalize specific details, and Dorian is currently awaiting their confirmation.
