Project Description
To meet the demands of a growing truck manufacturing business, a client in Uruguay required a state-of-the-art production workshop capable of accommodating heavy machinery, assembly lines, and component storage. This was a project requiring precision, compliance, and rapid execution. A 17,250-square-meter pre-engineered steel structure (PEB) was designed and constructed, providing a column-free layout, optimized ventilation, noise control, and fire safety systems, all while adhering to local building and environmental regulations. The results included a 40% increase in production capacity, a 30% reduction in construction time, and cost savings of 15% compared to traditional methods.
The Problem
Before entering this partnership, the client faced several critical challenges that impeded their production goals:
Facility Design Complexity: They needed a large-span, column-free workshop of 17,250 square meters to house flexible layouts for assembly lines, overhead cranes, and material handling equipment. The design had to support heavy machinery and dynamic workflows.
Environmental & Regulatory Compliance: Uruguay enforces strict building codes, including seismic standards and environmental regulations. Adhering to these requirements was non-negotiable.
Operational Safety Requirements: Ensuring a safe working environment necessitated robust systems for ventilation, noise reduction, and fire safety, tailored to the hazards of truck assembly operations.
Tight Construction Schedule: To meet their production timeline, the client required rapid project completion while maintaining quality and cost efficiency. Delays would risk disruptions to their manufacturing pipeline and business growth.
These complexities demanded a versatile, expertly designed solution capable of addressing technical, environmental, and logistical hurdles.
The Solution
Xinguangzheng designed and constructed a 17,250 square meter prefabricated steel structure building that was optimized to meet the specific needs of the truck assembly operation.. Key highlights of the solution included:
Large-Span, Column-Free Layout: A lightweight portal frame system provided a column-free space of up to 36 meters in span, maximizing flexibility for the client’s assembly lines and overhead machinery.
Structural Durability: The main structure, constructed with Q355 high-strength steel, ensured long-term durability and load-bearing capacity, supporting cranes with up to 25-ton capacity and heavy industrial equipment.
Thermal and Acoustic Efficiency: High-strength galvanized steel panels with 100mm insulation layers were used in the roof and walls, ensuring effective noise reduction and temperature regulation for a productive working environment.
Ventilation & Fire Safety Systems: The facility integrated natural ventilation systems (ridge vents and louvers) combined with mechanical exhaust systems. Fire safety systems included automatic sprinklers, smoke detectors, and coatings compliant with Uruguay’s regulatory standards.
High-load-bearing reinforced concrete floors (8 tons/sqm) enabled seamless support for heavy trucks and other equipment.
Six loading/unloading bays streamlined the transport and handling of materials during production.
Energy-efficient construction using sustainable, recyclable steel aligned with local environmental standards.
Prefabrication: Steel components were meticulously manufactured off-site to ensure precision and reduce on-site assembly time.
Speedy Installation: The modular nature of the PEB system allowed for assembly to be completed in an impressive 4.5 months, meeting the client’s tight timeline.
Eco-Friendly Practices: Advanced modular approaches minimized noise and material waste, ensuring compliance with Uruguay’s sustainability-focused construction regulations.
Result
This partnership delivered measurable success across multiple facets of the project, solidifying the client’s trust and satisfaction.
Enhanced Productivity: The column-free design and optimized layout contributed to a 40% increase in production capacity, enabling the client to meet rising market demand.
Accelerated Project Timeline: Construction time was reduced by 30% compared to conventional methods, ensuring the facility was operational within a critical timeline.
Cost Savings: The optimized design and use of steel achieved a 15% reduction in costs compared to traditional concrete structures, offering significant financial efficiency.
Improved Workplace Safety: The integration of advanced safety systems led to a reduction in workplace accidents by 25%, fostering a secure and productive environment.
Regulatory Compliance: Full adherence to Uruguay’s building codes and environmental policies eliminated the risk of fines, delays, or operational interruptions.
