Why Choosing the Right Fabrication Experts Matters in Industrial Construction

Ashutosh Engineers recently completed a significant project for Ambica Steels India Limited, focusing on the fabrication, erection, sandblasting, and painting of a large industrial shed for their Annealing & Pickling Plant. This 6000 SQM structure, built to meet the highest standards of safety and operational efficiency, showcases our dedication to complex industrial projects and solidifies our position as leaders in heavy structural fabrication and erection.

Project Overview:

The scope of this project required the construction of a customized shed designed to support the needs of the Annealing & Pickling Plant.

• Location: Mokhana village, Bhuj Taluk, Kutch District, Gujarat
• Client: Ambica Steels India Limited
• Project Type: Greenfield Integrated Stainless Steel Plant
• Shed Size:
  • Height: 20 meters
  • Length: 150 meters
  • Width: 40.5 meters
  • Total Area: 6000 SQM
  • Weight: Approx 750 MT of fabricated steel
• EOT Cranes: 4 cranes, each with a 10MT capacity, installed for material handling.

This image depicts the early stages of the fabrication process for the Annealing & Pickling Plant shed at Ambica Steels. The structural steel framework is being assembled, highlighting the complexity of the design with deep and standard slopes. The project is in its initial phase, featuring heavy steel beams and intricate layout preparations for the plant’s advanced processing areas.

The final image showcases the completed Annealing & Pickling Plant shed at Ambica Steels. The 20-meter high structure, with a length of 150 meters and a width of 40.5 meters, is fully erected and operational. The shed features advanced roof sheeting, insulation, and safety installations, including top safety railings and wire ropes. This finished project exemplifies Ashutosh Engineers’ expertise in managing complex, large-scale industrial structures with precision and adherence to industry standards.

Complexities and Challenges:

This project presented various challenges, including complex design requirements and difficult working conditions. The shed featured a deep slope on one side and a standard slope on the other, requiring precision and innovative approaches during the fabrication and erection processes.

In addition to the structural complexity, the team faced challenges such as:

• High-altitude work: The shed’s height of 20 meters required rigorous safety protocols and specialized machinery for safe construction.
• Complex layout and design: Fitting sheets, corner pieces, lower sections, water trenches, down tack piping, top ridge, and insulation sheets was a meticulous task.
• Heavy-duty material handling: The integration of 4 EOT cranes with 10 MT capacity each facilitated smooth material handling within the facility, allowing for operational efficiency post-construction.

The shed was designed to accommodate the specific needs of Ambica Steels’ production processes, ensuring that it could withstand the heavy handling capacity of materials and machinery.

Materials and Equipment Used:

In order to guarantee the longevity and structural integrity of the shed, we used the following high-quality materials:

• MS Rolled and Built-up Material
• GI Z Purlins
• Top Insulation Sheets
• GI Sheeting Fittings
• Safety Railing and Wire Rope Fittings

The execution of this project required the use of various specialized pieces of equipment, including:

• 80FT. Boom Lifter
• Farana Cranes
• 25MT Cranes

These tools were critical in ensuring the precision and safety of the work performed at such heights and with heavy materials.

Adherence to Industry Standards:

We adhered to all industry standards and safety protocols throughout the project, emphasizing worker safety and structural stability. Our team followed rigorous safety measures, especially considering the height work and the complexity of the structure. All elements of the shed were fabricated and erected in compliance with industry best practices, ensuring durability, reliability, and long-term performance.

Technical Innovations:

The innovative design of this project, with a one-sided deep slope and a standard slope on the other side, demanded creative and customized solutions. By utilizing advanced fabrication techniques, we were able to meet the client’s expectations for a complex yet functional design.

Additionally, the use of sustainable practices in the fabrication and erection of the shed reduced waste and ensured a more environmentally friendly construction process. The project exemplified advances in structural steel fabrication, particularly in terms of efficiency and sustainability.

Project Impact on Client Operations:

The completion of this project had a direct and positive impact on Ambica Steels’ operations. The new Annealing & Pickling Plant shed greatly increased the company’s production capacity and enhanced their ability to handle heavy materials efficiently. The shed’s modern infrastructure allows for smoother operations, quicker processing times, and improved operational efficiency, directly contributing to the company’s overall growth.
