Completes Major Logistics Center Project in South Africa

Qingdao KXD Steel Structure Co., Ltd is pleased to announce the successful completion of a large-scale steel structure logistics and distribution center in South Africa, further reinforcing our growing footprint across the African market.

Project Overview

The project comprises a steel-frame logistics facility with overall dimensions of 27.5m (width) × 252m (length) × 11m (height), designed and fabricated entirely by our engineering team to meet international standards for large-span industrial buildings.

The structure features a robust portal frame system with heavy-duty steel columns, engineered to support an overhead crane system for efficient material handling within the facility. The building’s extensive length of 252 meters required precise structural calculations and rigorous quality control throughout the fabrication and installation process to ensure dimensional accuracy and long-term structural stability.

Key Structural Features

• Large-span steel portal frames providing a clear, column-free interior space for maximum operational flexibility
• Overhead crane support system integrated into the structural design for heavy material handling
• Multi-bay column and bracing system, combining cross-bracing and lattice columns for enhanced lateral stability
• Natural lighting design, with vertical window strips along the facade allowing abundant daylight into the warehouse interior, reducing energy consumption
• High-quality steel cladding for both roof and wall systems, ensuring long-term weather resistance and durability
