Overview
A large forging-machinery manufacturing plant for the German Müller Weingarten Group. The long, wide, tall plant with a 200-tonne crane required careful steel-structure design and optimization to control cost while meeting heavy-lifting demands.
Scope
- GFA 12,433.27 m²; plant 159.34 m long × 83.4 m wide, 22.4 m eave height
- Spans 29.5 m + 22.5 m × 2; 200-tonne overhead crane
Key technical highlights
- Heavy crane + long span: a 200-tonne crane over 29.5 m spans drives high member loads and stability requirements.
- Steel optimization: structural design and optimization reduced steel tonnage, saving approximately RMB 2 million while keeping the heavy-lifting performance.
