Background


In 2023, Dorian received an inquiry for a workshop from the client, whose initial request was rather simple: a strong and cost-effective building for a factory. Client claimed that he plan to build a tilapia fish farm, therefore, he need a factory for fish food to save the cost for fish farming, and also sell the products at local.

Designing

When Dorian contacted the client, he expressed that due to the local grid network's instability and frequent blackouts, so he decided to install a solar power system on the factory's roof. Additionally, the client wanted some offices and a monitoring room for the production line in the workshop, Dorian suggest that adding a mezzanine floor for offices and monitoring room can save the space. Responding to the client's demands, Dorian's engineers began crafting a proposal design.

The day after receiving inquiry from the client, the proposal design was completed. As the solar panels on the roof would provide insulation for the building, reducing heat by approximately 40%, single steel sheet was chosen for the workshop's roof and walls to save costs. Inside, there would be a 50-square-meter, 3.5-meter-high mezzanine for offices, resting room and a monitoring room.

 

The client was satisfied by Dorian's efficiency and ability to provide solution that is compatable with his solar system project. It perfectly matched the client's requirements, and the offer fell within the client's budget, prompting him to sign the contract promptly.

 

Production&Delivery

The production of the steel structure only took two weeks: two days for designing all the parts of the structure, and eleven days for the production and packing. The entire project required four containers for shipping—three for the steel structure and one for the solar system.

Installation:

The foundation plan was sent to the customer prior to shipment so that the foundation work has been completed before the customer receives the goods. Upon the cargo's arrival at the project site, the construction team finished the installation under Dorian's supervision and guidance. The erection process took only nearly one month. Then, Dorian’s electrical engineer provided guidance during the installation of the solar power system and ensured its connection to the grid.

    238 Square Meters Steel Structure Completed For Oxygen Plant Assembly Work Done In October 10

    Libya 238 Square Meters Steel Structure Completed For Oxygen Plant Assembly Work Done In October

    The installation of 14x17x11.5m steel structure project had been started since the end of the September in Benghazi, Libya, and ended at the last week of October. The total assembly job lasted about 1 month. This 14x17x11.5m warehouse will be used as the oxygen plant, therefor, there is a high standard requirement for the airtightness. In order to make sure the good sealing, under the advice of the engineer, the customer chose to use sandwich panels for the walls and roofs, which is better o lot for the sealing function than the steel sheet panel.

    The total height of the project is 11.5m, while the brick wall height is 8m. That is to say, the sandwich panel wall height is 3.5m. Customer chose to make the 4 directions of the wall, totally with 8m brick wall for each side.

    This 14x17x11.5m oxygen plant is the phase II project, which is as the extension of the first project of the 48mx60mx15.5m of the steel bar production line. Cause customer need it very urgently. The production for this project is only 1 week,and before production, Dorian began to determine the packing time, Thus, the shipping was arranged very fast.

    In order to save the cost, customer require that the shipping must be only 1 container. The usual shipping are 2 containers, because the sandwich panel occupy too much space. Once more, since the columns and beams need to load inside the frame structure of the package, and if use the structure and package, 1 container should not be enough. To save the space, workers do the loading by hand lifting. This is the best way to save the space, and eventually, in the case of meeting the customer's requirements, the installation work was successfully completed.

    The assembly is very fast, since customer prepared the foundation before received the goods. Because the installers are very experienced and Dorian provided the very detailed assembly drawing and the foundation drawing before shipping. After the receiving, the assembly can be done very fast, It took only weeks to install the frame, It took several days to install the roof panel and skylight panel.

      Completed Libya 2592 Square Meters Steel Bar Rolling Mill Production Line 3

      Completed Libya 2592 Square Meters Steel Bar Rolling Mill Production Line

      The project was totally done in the first week of June, which took about 1 month and half in total.

      This Libya project is a L shape building, while there are 2 parts of them.

      The longer building is with the size of 60x24x15.5m, which is used as the stove workshop. This height can make sure the safety for the high temperature. There are 3 doors space reserved on the gable wall which are in order to loading the materials to the stove inside the building.

      There are 2 cranes are mounted inside the workshop, while 1 is 10 tons and another is 15 tons.

      The lower part building will be used as the rolling part, which is used for conveying and loading the rebar. Therefore, this part of the building no need to be very higher. With the size of 24x24x9m, this part will be reserved some space for the Phase II of the project. The second phase of the project will be for the finished product workshop, which is also as the rolling part. And the size for this part is 24x90x9m, which will be connected together with the existed 24x24x9m part.

      On June 21, the project had been totally done.

        Dorian Prefab Steel Building Ready Shipping to Cote d'Ivoire

        At the beginning of November 2020, the 600 square meters Steel Structure Warehouse sent by Luoyang Dorian New Materials Technology Co.,Ltd to Côte d'Ivoire was shipped smoothly.

         

        Before booking shipment, our sale team ,engineer team and Structure support team work togather pre-design multi-plan the sequence of the goods according to the volume and weight of the goods not only to ensure that the goods can be placed on the frame safely and stably but also meet client budget requirement.

         

        After confirm with our customer, we choose 40HQ container type and the bottom is fixed with steel frame. The bottom frame is made of thick steel which is welded by hand. The whole frame is very strong and can carry about 30 tons of goods.

         

        When the goods are placed, the workers will weld steel channels on the side to further stabilize the goods. The top steel channel and the side steel channel are welded together, and the whole is stable. 

         

        Then, welding, Dorian support team use 8 strands of steel wire rope to strengthen the goods.

         

        After all the goods are fixed, wire ropes are used to connect the steel ring at the bottom of the steel frame to hoist the whole goods into the container.

         This kind of loading method can ensure the stability and avoid the scattered and collision of the goods. And it is also very convenient for customers to unload.

         

        In addition, after receiving the goods, the steel frame at the bottom can also be reused by customers, which is very practical.

        Last but always remember, if you need any help in Steel Structure or Steel Building related area, ask Dorian before make decision.
