Project Details
- Project Name:Chile 35,230 Sqm Battery Factory Warehouse
- Project address: Chile
- Project area: 35,230 square meters
- Manufacturer: Xinguangzheng
Project Description
A leading battery manufacturer in Chile faced significant challenges managing its inventory due to inefficient manual processes, limited storage capacity, compliance risks, and high operational costs. To address these issues, they partnered with a global leader in steel structure building solutions to develop a custom-designed, state-of-the-art warehouse.
This 35,230-square-meter facility features a large-span, column-free steel structure, advanced fire safety systems, climate control mechanisms, and seismic-resilient engineering. The project resulted in a 40% increase in storage capacity, enhanced safety for sensitive materials, greater operational efficiency, and significant support for scaling business operations.
The Problem
Storage Capacity Limitations: The client struggled to store raw materials and finished products due to lack of space, hindering production and causing bottlenecks.
Operational Inefficiency: Manual handling processes and disorganized layouts reduced productivity and increased lead times.
Safety Risks: Storing flammable materials such as electrolytes and lithium batteries heightened fire hazards.
Regulatory Compliance: Chile’s stringent seismic regulations and fire safety standards added complexity to already challenging requirements.
Scaling Requirements: Rapid production growth placed additional pressure on existing infrastructure, necessitating a cost-effective yet scalable solution.
The Solution
To address these challenges, the global steel structure provider designed and implemented a state-of-the-art warehouse tailored specifically to the client’s battery production and storage needs.
Large-Span Steel Structure:A column-free design, spanning up to 45 meters, maximized usable storage space. This layout allowed the client to integrate automated storage systems and heavy machinery for improved material handling efficiency.
Fire Safety Systems:Advanced features included foam-based sprinklers, fire-resistant partitions, and smoke detection systems. These systems aligned with Chilean fire codes for hazardous materials, ensuring the safety of employees and stored products.
Climate Control:Fully integrated HVAC systems maintained stable temperatures and low humidity to protect sensitive battery components from corrosion and degradation.
Seismic-Resilient Design:Given Chile’s location in a high-risk seismic zone, the structure was engineered to Zone 4 seismic standards. High-strength galvanized steel and reinforced structural connections ensured the building’s integrity during earthquakes.
Sustainability and Efficiency:Prefabricated steel components accelerated the construction timeline, minimized waste, and reduced onsite impact. The steel used was recyclable, aligning with the client’s commitment to sustainable practices.
Rapid Execution:Thanks to modular prefabrication and rapid assembly techniques, the 35,230-square-meter warehouse was completed in just six months, meeting the client’s tight production schedule.
Result
The collaboration yielded impressive results, with numerous measurable benefits for the client’s operations and long-term goals.
Increased Storage Capacity:The warehouse design enhanced storage capacity by 40%, enabling the client to handle larger inventories with ease.
Improved Safety and Compliance:With advanced fire suppression systems and climate control mechanisms, the facility significantly reduced risks associated with storing flammable and sensitive materials.
Greater Operational Efficiency:The column-free design and integrated infrastructure improved logistics and material handling processes, boosting overall productivity.
Cost-Effective Maintenance:The durable steel structure ensured low maintenance costs while providing a lifespan of over 50 years.
