Guoyu Steel Structure warmly received a client delegation from a Middle East construction engineering company at our manufacturing factory recently. The client team includes the project manager and structural engineer, who travelled to China for on-site factory audit, quality inspection and project technical confirmation. After the full-day factory tour and technical negotiation, both parties formally signed the contract for a large prefabricated steel logistics warehouse project.
The client’s project is a port-side steel storage warehouse located in Oman. This warehouse will be used for bulk cargo storage and goods distribution, and it is built in coastal high-salt fog environment (ISO12944 C4 corrosion grade).
Project Core Data
- Building Type: Prefabricated portal frame steel warehouse
- Total Area: 2100 ㎡
- Dimension: 35m width × 60m length × 9m eave height
- Clear span: 35m, no middle column inside
- Total steel weight: 246 tons
- Main steel material: Q355B H-section steel
- Anti-corrosion coating: 3-coat system (epoxy zinc-rich primer + epoxy micaceous iron intermediate paint + polyurethane topcoat), total dry film thickness 280μm, 15~20 years anti-rust service life for coastal salt-spray environment
- Roof & wall panel: Corrugated galvanized steel sheet + 50mm rock wool insulation sandwich panel
- Factory production cycle: 58 working days
- Delivery method: FOB Qingdao port, container sea freight
Factory Inspection Tour
Accompanied by our sales director and chief engineer, the delegation visited the whole factory in sequence: raw material storage yard, CNC cutting workshop, robotic automatic welding production line, shot blasting & anti-corrosion coating workshop, finished component storage yard and pre-assembly test area.
During the inspection, the client carefully checked raw steel material test certificates (MTC), welding UT non-destructive inspection reports, and paint film thickness test records. They watched the full manufacturing workflow of steel beams and columns. The engineer paid special attention to our three-layer anti-rust coating process, and we demonstrated shot blasting treatment to Sa2.5 standard, paint spraying and curing procedures.
The client also inspected pre-finished steel components for previous Southeast Asia bridge & warehouse orders stacked in our 1500-ton stock yard. They highly recognised our precise fabrication tolerance and stable anti-corrosion performance.
Technical Meeting & Order Signing
In the conference room, our engineering team and the client reviewed the 3D structural model, construction drawings, wind load & seismic design calculation report. They raised requirements for coastal wind resistance, drainage system and thermal insulation. Our engineers adjusted some details on the spot according to local Oman building codes.
After confirming all technical specifications, delivery schedule and commercial terms, the two sides signed the steel warehouse contract on the same day. The client confirmed the deposit arrangement immediately.
Client Comment: “We have sourced steel buildings from many suppliers, but Guoyu impressed us most by the complete quality control system and professional anti-corrosion solution for coastal projects. On-site factory visit helped us verify the real production capacity. We are confident to start this warehouse project, and we plan to cooperate for 2 more livestock farm steel buildings in the next phase.”
Closing
This factory visit & signed order marks a new milestone of Guoyu’s deep cooperation with Middle East market. Guoyu Steel keeps strict quality control for every export steel project, provides custom design, fabrication, coating and remote installation guidance for global customers.
