Prefabricated Factory Structure

Expert opinion - 01/08/2023

A prefabricated factory is a modern, economical and sustainable construction solution for businesses.  What are parts included in the prefabricated factory structure? To help businesses visualize better, let’s learn about Pebsteel’s prefabricated factory structures within the following article.

1. Prefabricated Factory Structure

A prefabricated factory is a type of factory with a pre-engineered steel structure. These steel structures are transported to the site and fully erected after being manufactured and machined in one of our factories to the exact dimensions and quantities.

Prefabricated factories have many advantages such as: 

  • Save cost, construction time and area of use 
  • Easy to dismantle, move or expand as needed.
  • Ensure safety, aesthetics and sustainability for the project.
  • Environmentally friendly, no pollution or waste of raw materials.

2. What is the structure of the prefabricated factory?

Prefabricated steel frame structure workshop includes 4 main parts:

2.1. Foundation system

The foundation system has the effect of transferring the weight of the building to the ground below. For prefabricated factory steel buildings, the foundation system used is a reinforced concrete foundation system, similar to conventional houses. At the same time, the foundation system is also designed according to the type of soil, load and size of the building.

2.2. Main frame system

The main frame system is the most important part of the prefabricated factory structure, it includes columns, trusses, beams and foundation bolts. These members are made of section steel with different cross-sections, usually I, H or C. Welding or bolts can be used to connect the members together, forming a solid frame.

2.3. Sub – structure

The secondary structure is the supporting parts for the main frame system, including wall beams, purlins, struts, bracing system, skylight and the canopy. These members are also made of section steel, usually C or Z shape. The secondary structure helps to support the main frame system, enhancing the bearing capacity and resisting deformation for the building.

2.4. Covering system

Covering system is the surface finishing part of the building, including roof sheets and factory covers. Roofing sheets and factory covers are made of galvanized or color coated steel, with a thickness of 0.4 to 0.6 mm.

Roofing of corrugated iron and corrugated iron covering the factory have the effect of shielding the building from weather factors such as sun, rain, wind, dust, etc. The corrugated iron roof will be constructed with an additional layer of glass wool or insulation to ensure thermal insulation and noise proofing.

3. Prefabricated factory construction cost

The cost of building a pre-engineered steel frame structure factory will depend on many factors such as area, height, type of material, structural design, construction site, environmental conditions, etc. In addition, this cost also fluctuates according to construction progress as well as our clients’ needs.

The cost of building a pre-engineered steel frame structure factory can range from 1.5 million to 3 million VND/m2. This is the average cost for a standard factory building with an area of 500 m2 to 1500 m2 and a height of 6m to 9m.
