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.
The wall panel installation is only 2 days, and this blue color of rock wool panel is chosen a lot by Dorian customers.
The blue wall panel matches well with the blue flashing at the edge.
Below the wall panel, installers built 8m block wall that was completed in just a few days.
