Aohai Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. Workshop Project

Location: China
Building Type: Class II Industrial Building (Category E Production Workshop)
Structure Type: Portal Steel Frame Structure
Scale: Single-story workshop, total floor area 6,646.77㎡, width 40m, length 163m, building height 17.1m
Design Life: 50 years
Seismic Fortification Intensity: 7 degrees
Steel Consumption: Approx. 782.87 tons

Project Overview

The workshop project for Luoyang Aohai Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. is a key expansion project designed to support refractory materials production and processing. The facility adopts a portal steel frame structure, offering large spans, lightweight design, and high space utilization efficiency, making it highly suitable for modern industrial production.

The foundation adopts a compacted cement-soil composite base with independent footings, ensuring reliable load-bearing capacity and overall structural stability. The building is designed in accordance with national standards for Class II industrial buildings, balancing durability, seismic safety, and fire resistance, with an intended service life of 50 years.

Technical Highlights

Steel Structure Configuration

  • Steel columns: ~310.35 tons

  • Steel beams and crane beams: ~257.63 tons

  • Secondary members: ~46.97 tons

  • Roof purlins: ~167.92 tons

Corrosion & Fire Protection

  • Non-galvanized members coated with two layers of red oxide primer; dry film thickness: 150μm (outdoor), 125μm (indoor).

  • Steel columns: fire resistance ≥ 2.5 hours, with thick fireproof coating up to 41.5mm.

  • Steel beams: fire resistance ≥ 1.5 hours, with coating thickness up to 19mm.

  • Different areas adopt varied coating thickness to ensure comprehensive fire safety.

Structural Advantages

  • Portal steel frame structure ensures fast construction and cost efficiency.

  • Structural design accommodates crane installation and allows future expansion.

Construction Progress (Ongoing)

As of now, the workshop construction is progressing steadily, with the following completed works:

  1. Roof skylight and wall cladding installation completed

  2. Interior wall panels installation completed

  3. Rainwater pipes 80% completed

  4. Canopy installation completed

  5. Roof rectification completed

  6. Parapet inner panels installation completed

  7. Flashing and edge finishing completed

The overall structure has been formed, with interior finishing and detail works currently underway.

Project Value

Upon completion, this workshop will provide a highly efficient and modern production facility for Luoyang Aohai Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. The application of steel structure not only shortens the construction period but also significantly improves safety, fire resistance, and durability. The project will greatly enhance the client’s production capacity and operational efficiency, laying a solid foundation for long-term development.

At the same time, the successful execution of this project further demonstrates our company’s strong capabilities in large-span steel structure design, steel fabrication, and fire & corrosion protection technologies, strengthening our leadership position in the industrial steel building sector.

What is the price per ton of prefabricated steel structure?

This article demystifies the cost per ton of prefabricated steel structures by delivering a thorough breakdown of price components—from raw steel and fabrication to coatings, transportation, and on-site services. It explains how project type and complexity drive per-ton costs, with typical ranges for standard industrial buildings versus high-end commercial, stadium, or infrastructure projects, and it notes the potential 20%+ share of design and specialty processes in some cases. The piece discusses market volatility in steel prices and regulatory impacts on coatings, recommending contract mechanisms such as lock-in pricing or quarterly floating prices, along with clearly defined change-order rules. It emphasizes the need for early design refinement, BIM-driven interfaces, and milestone pre-qualification to minimize costly changes during production. A key warning is issued against equating unit price with total cost; readers are advised to require full-process quotes and evaluate proposals against real-world performance and case studies. The article also provides international price comparisons, highlighting higher costs in Europe and parts of Southeast Asia due to regulatory and labor factors, plus cross-border procurement considerations. A practical procurement playbook follows, including detailed quote requests, data handoffs via BIM, and supplier benchmarking—culminating in a call to action for expert quote support and risk review.
