Project information: Project location: Thailand Project size: 16X46X7.5-9m Project application: Warehouse Project details: single-slope structure + industrial gray single layer steel sheet for the wall and roof + skylight panel + 50mm rock wool sandwich panels for office mezzanine partition walls
Background:
In 2024, Dorian established a connection with the client at the Thailand Architect Exhibition. The client expressed plans to construct a steel structure warehouse for sales purposes. During the initial meeting, Dorian provided detailed introduction to manufacturing capabilities, and several completed projects in Thailand locally. Impressed by Dorian’s professionalism, attention to detail, and the quality of steel structures, the client decided to move forward with the project.
Project design:
The project design was gradually confirmed through a series of meetings and on-site assessments, during, coupled with in-depth discussions on the client’s specific requirements and preferences. After careful consideration, the client decided to use single-layer steel panels for the wall and roof, for the need for better insulation, the colour was chosen to be industrial gray. Since Thailand has long hours of sunshine, and the dark color helps in reducing heat absorption. Meanwhile, in order to enhance interior lighting within the warehouse, the skylight panels were added on the roof. Given Thailand’s tropical climate, which is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, the 2m brick wall was designed which has the function of protection of steel warehouse.
Considering the office needs, the client requested to add a 5*10m mezzanine floor to serve as an office space on the side of a 7.5m high eaves wall. Dorian designed the office area’s internal partition walls using 50mm thick rock wool sandwich panels, which provide excellent thermal insulation. For the exterior walls, brick was chosen for its durability and thermal properties.
This final design approach not only meets the client’s needs but also ensures comfort and durability, and it has been recognized by the client. By the middle of 2024, the client decided to purchase from Dorian, payment was completed in July.
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.
Once production is completed, all steel frames are carefully placed on steel pallets, then using steel belt to fix the goods, which ensures the quality of the products during transportation. Additionally, the use of steel pallets makes the unloading process more convenient for the customer.
The installation of the project was finished by client’s local installation team. However, to ensure quality and precision, Dorian’s Thailand team, including engineers and salesmen, provided on-site technical guidance throughout every stage of the process—from foundation work to the installation of the steel structure, wall panels, and roof panels. The project will be put in use next month.
