Short construction cycle and cost control for steel structure warehouse.

Prefabricated Warehouse use prefabricated components that can be assembled on site with high efficiency and with a construction cycle time that is less than that of a traditional concrete building. The low cost (20-30 per cent lower than traditional Steel Buildings) and quick turnaround time of Prefabricated Warehouse  can significantly increase the return on investment in the African market, which is generally faced with poor infrastructure and shortage of capital.

Steel Buildings Environmental protection and sustainability

The steel structure warehouse uses recyclable steel  Buildings and has a recycling rate of over 90% after dismantling, which is in line with the policy direction of green building in African countries. The dry construction process reduces water consumption and dust pollution, which is in line with the environmental requirements of the arid climate in Africa.

Prefabricated Warehouse Structural stability and safety

With the high strength and toughness of steel, steel Structure warehouses are resistant to natural disasters such as strong winds and earthquakes, which are common in Africa. Fire resistant coatings and anti-corrosion treatments to cope with climatic challenges such as high temperatures and humidity.

Technical characteristics of Steel Buildings

Light weight and large span design

Steel Buildings are lightweight (about 1/5 of concrete structures) and have low foundation requirements, making them suitable for areas with complex geological conditions in Africa. The large span space (up to 60 metres) allows flexible planning of the storage area and improves space utilisation.

Prefabricated Warehouse Modularity and Expandability

Steel Structure warehouses support modular expansion, allowing companies to invest in phases according to business growth and reduce initial investment risks. For example, e-commerce logistics companies in Africa often adopt a steel warehouse network built in phases.

The main areas of application for Steel Buildings in Africa

Agricultural and Food Warehousing

Prefabricated Warehouse are widely used for dry storage of agricultural products such as cereals, coffee, cocoa, etc. Ventilation design and pest control technology reduces the loss of agricultural products in Africa.

Mining and Energy Material Storage

Mineral countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia have adopted fire and explosion-proof  Steel Buildings  to store ores and fuels, with a compressive strength of Q345 to meet the needs of heavy equipment storage.

Cross-border Logistics Hub

Logistics parks in Nigeria and Kenya are rapidly deployed through Steel Buildings, with an average of 5,000 square metres of warehouses built within 45 days, supporting the construction of China-Africa trade corridors.
