Project Description
A leading French parts processing factory faced challenges in meeting production needs due to outdated infrastructure. They required a modern, large-span, column-free workshop to optimize their space and production efficiency, while adhering to strict French building codes. Our expertise in designing steel structure solutions enabled us to deliver a state-of-the-art 27,400 sqm facility within just 5 months. This new workshop increased production capacity by 35%, bolstered worker safety, and maximized cost efficiency, all while meeting the client’s budget and timeline.
The Problem
The client’s operational and production demands highlighted several core challenges:
Space limitation: The existing facility’s design was rigid and inflexible, with internal columns restricting machinery placement and workflow efficiency. A large-span, column-free space was critical for configuring their precision manufacturing lines effectively.
Safety concerns: The old facility lacked robust ventilation, noise control, and comprehensive fire safety systems necessary for worker comfort and safety in industries requiring precision manufacturing.
Regulatory compliance: The factory required a solution compliant with France’s strict Eurocode standards for building safety, environmental sustainability, and energy efficiency.
Time constraints: The client needed rapid construction to align with their tight production schedule and prevent any operational disruption.
Budget limitations: The solution had to be both cost-effective and durable, offering long-term value while maintaining quality standards.
The Solution
We provided an end-to-end solution tailored to meet the client’s specific challenges and goals. Our construction strategy integrated advanced steel structure technology, modular design, and precision construction to deliver a modern, functional facility within a short timeframe.
Large-span steel structure: A lightweight portal frame system was used to achieve a column-free interior layout with spans up to 40 meters, enhancing flexibility for production layout and machinery placement.
Thermal and acoustic efficiency: High-strength galvanized steel panels with 100mm rockwool insulation were incorporated into the roof and walls. This enhanced noise reduction and thermal efficiency, creating both a comfortable and energy-efficient working environment.
Ventilation: A combination of ridge vents, louvers, and mechanical exhaust systems maintained optimal air quality, ensuring a safe and controlled workspace for precision manufacturing.
Fire safety: Automatic sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, and fire-resistant steel coatings were installed, meeting stringent EN 13501 safety standards.
High-clearance design: With a height of 14 meters, the structure accommodated overhead cranes capable of handling up to 20-ton loads, catering to heavy machinery needs.
Durable flooring: Reinforced concrete flooring with an 8 tons/sqm load capacity provided robust support for heavy equipment and industrial processes.
Logistical optimization: Eight loading and unloading bays streamlined material handling and enhanced the efficiency of workflows.
Prefabrication: Steel components were manufactured off-site with precision, reducing on-site construction time and ensuring quality control.
Rapid assembly: The modular design enabled the entire facility to be constructed and completed within 5 months.
Sustainable methods: Eco-friendly construction practices minimized waste and adhered to France’s environmental sustainability regulations, aligning with HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale) goals.
Result
The completed production workshop exceeded the client’s expectations, delivering significant improvements in efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
35% increase in production capacity due to the large-span column-free design, which allowed flexible layouts for machinery and workflows.
