Factory Building Structure Details
The factory building project for Dalian Insulator Group Co., Ltd. in Pingxiang is one of XTD’s most significant achievements in large-scale industrial construction. Completed in 2022, this facility demonstrates the power of modern engineering, efficient design, and advanced steel structure technology. With its massive scale, high-performance materials, and long-term sustainability, the project stands as a benchmark for future factory building developments in China.
Project Overview
Located in Pingxiang, the project covers a total area of more than 150,000㎡, making it one of the largest factory buildings in the region. Each unit spans an impressive 68,000㎡, providing ample space to support the large-scale manufacturing requirements of Dalian Insulator Group. To achieve this, more than 4,000 tons of high-quality steel were utilized, ensuring a structure that balances strength, stability, and efficiency.
The building adopts a space frame structure, a design well-suited for industrial complexes requiring wide, open spans without interior columns. This choice enhances both structural performance and functional efficiency, allowing maximum flexibility for manufacturing processes and future adaptations.
Structural Design and Engineering Excellence
The highlight of this factory building lies in its use of a space frame structure, which distributes loads evenly and provides excellent resistance to external forces such as wind and seismic activity. Compared to conventional designs, this structural approach delivers:
- Greater stability across large spans.
- Flexible use of space, minimizing obstructions within the production area.
- Enhanced durability for long-term industrial operations.
By integrating modern engineering standards and advanced construction methods, the project team ensured that the factory building met the rigorous demands of heavy industrial operations.
Efficient Construction and Timely Completion
Another key achievement of the project was its efficient construction timeline. Despite its massive scale and structural complexity, the factory building was completed in 2022, showcasing XTD’s expertise in managing large-scale projects within strict deadlines. Prefabricated steel components played a crucial role in accelerating construction. These were produced in specialized facilities with high precision and then assembled on-site, minimizing waste and ensuring consistent quality.
The streamlined process not only shortened construction time but also reduced environmental impact, making the project a model of modern industrial building practices.
Functionality and Industrial Application
Functionality was central to the design of this factory building. With expansive open spans and a flexible interior layout, the facility can house large machinery, production lines, and storage areas with ease. The space frame design ensures uninterrupted workflows, which is critical for high-volume manufacturing industries like insulator production.
In addition, the layout was designed to accommodate future expansion or reconfiguration, offering the client a future-proof solution that adapts to evolving production needs.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Beyond functionality, the factory building also reflects a strong commitment to sustainability. Steel, the core material of the structure, is 100% recyclable and significantly reduces construction waste compared to traditional materials. With over 4,000 tons of recyclable steel used in the project, the facility contributes to resource conservation and aligns with green building standards.
The construction process also emphasized energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. By using prefabricated steel elements, waste was reduced by over 80%, and on-site pollution was minimized. This approach reflects XTD’s philosophy of building not just strong, durable factories, but also environmentally conscious ones.
Safety and Reliability
Safety is a cornerstone of every XTD project, and this factory building is no exception. The space frame structure offers superior load-bearing capacity and resilience against natural forces, ensuring a secure working environment. Advanced fireproofing systems and safety measures were incorporated into the design, further enhancing the long-term operational safety of the facility.
These safety features ensure compliance with national and international standards, giving the client confidence in the building’s reliability for decades of use.
The Dalian Insulator Group Co., Ltd. factory building is more than just an industrial facility—it is a landmark project that sets new standards for efficiency, sustainability, and modern design in factory construction. Completed on time in 2022, it underscores XTD’s expertise in handling large-scale industrial developments while meeting the client’s operational and strategic goals.
By combining scale, structural innovation, and environmental responsibility, this project highlights the advantages of choosing steel-based factory buildings for modern industry. As enterprises across China and beyond look to upgrade their facilities, this project serves as a model for how industrial buildings should be designed and constructed in the future.
