Project details: steel structure workshop with single metal sheet roof and wall
Project background
Dorian’s first meeting with the client was at the Thailand Architect Exhibition 2023 where had a good communication took place. Client needed to build an car accessories factory, so at the invitation of the client, the team went to the project site immediately after the exhibition for a site visit and gave a preliminary proposal based on the size of the land, which laid a good foundation for the next smooth progress of the project.

Design
During the communication, the client was quite satisfied with the plan, but worried that the production capacity of the factory could not meet their requirements. To solve this concern of the client, Dorian invited them to visit the factory, and finally the client arrived in China in August 2023 and visited Dorian's factory. During this period, they also visited the production workshop, including the advanced production line, and learned about the processing process of steel structures.
In this discussion, the client expressed their hope to use single plates for both the walls and the roof. However, the designer found that due to the large scale of the client's project, if metal plates were provided directly, there would be two problems: First, the length of the metal plates far exceeded the size of the largest container, resulting in a rapid increase in transportation costs; Second, after transportation to the project site, the client needed to cut the metal plates by themselves and lap them, which had higher requirements for the construction personnel and would increase the risk of rain leakage. Therefore, the engineer suggested that the client purchase a profile bending machine and steel coils, and produce the wall and roof plates directly on-site according to the project size. After witnessing the process of the machine producing steel plates on-site, the client adopted this suggestion. Finally, they discussed other details of the project and determined the final plan - the main frame part of the 8,064-square-meter (36x224x11 meters) steel structure auto parts factory, as well as the profile bending machine and steel coils. Shortly after the client returned to their country, they placed an order in September 2023, and the Dorian factory immediately began production.
Production&delivery:
It took factory less than forty days to complete the production of all goods. Because the project was large, the goods used 27*40HQ containers in total and were transported to Thailand in three batches. Dorian used an original packing method, using frame-type steel trays to fix the goods, and using flat steel belts to tie the goods for secondary fixation to prevent the goods from colliding and falling apart during loading and unloading and transportation, while improving the efficiency of loading and unloading goods.

Installation:
When the first batch of goods arrived in Thailand, the foundation work had already been completed. Currently, the main steel structure has been completed, and the production and installation of wall panels and roof panels are in progress. The profile bending machine and steel coils requested by the client for purchase have been dispatched in the last batch. In order to assist the customer to complete the production and installation work successfully, the designers and sales staff from Dorian's Thailand branch have visited to the site many times to provide professional guidance for the production and installation of the wall panels. It is expected that the panel installation work will be all finished next month, and the entire workshop will be put into use this year.

Looking ahead, the client is very satisfied with project and intends to continue to work fully with Dorian in the coming years to initiate other projects in the steel shop. The client's trust is very delightful, Dorian are glad to be moving forward with the client and are fully prepared, expecting to providing the same level of expertise and support as the project progresses.
