Armenia Equipment Warehouse

The Armenian equipment warehouse project undertaken by Canglong Group has been successfully completed and officially delivered for use. The total construction area of the project is 960 square meters (dimensions 30 m × 32 m × 8 m), based on high-standard industrial building specifications, providing customers with an efficient, durable, and cost-optimized steel structure warehousing solution.

The warehouse adopts a simple and efficient double-slope roof structure, effectively improving drainage efficiency and interior space utilization. The main load-bearing structure uses a high-strength Q355B H-shaped steel beam-column system, offering excellent stability and seismic performance to meet the long-term load requirements of large equipment storage and frequent forklift operation. The enclosure system uses high-performance metal cladding panels for walls and roof, giving the overall building good sealing, weather resistance, and corrosion resistance — critical for adapting to the temperature swings and wind/snow conditions of Armenia’s continental climate.

Project Overview: Steel Equipment Warehouse for Armenia’s Continental Climate

Armenia’s highland continental climate poses distinct challenges for industrial buildings: heavy snow loads in winter, strong seasonal winds, and wide temperature swings between hot summers and freezing winters. A conventional masonry warehouse would require lengthy on-site curing, offer limited clear-span capability, and struggle with thermal expansion cracking. In contrast, this prefab steel warehouse was engineered as a portal frame steel structure — fully fabricated off-site and rapidly bolted together on location, delivering a durable, low-maintenance equipment storage facility.

Key project parameters:

Location: Armenia
Building type: Portal frame steel structure, double-slope roof
Dimensions: 30 m (span) × 32 m (length) × 8 m (eave height)
Total floor area: 960 m²
Steel consumption: Approx. 52 tons
Primary use: Industrial equipment storage warehouse
Structural steel grade: Q355B H-section steel

Project Background & Client Challenges

Armenia’s continental climate brings cold winters with significant snow accumulation and hot, dry summers. The client needed a large-span equipment warehouse that could:

Provide clear-span interior space (30 m) without intermediate columns, allowing flexible equipment layout and forklift maneuvering;
Withstand regional snow accumulation and wind loads typical of the Armenian plateau;
Be delivered and erected quickly to minimize downtime and get operations running.

Traditional masonry construction would have required longer on-site curing times and offered less flexibility for future expansion.

Our Solution

Canglong Group designed a portal frame steel structure tailored to the site conditions:

Primary Frame: Welded Q355B H-section columns and rafters with rigid connections, providing high lateral stiffness against wind and seismic forces.
Roof System: Double-slope design with optimized roof pitch for rapid rainwater and snow shedding — essential for reducing live-load accumulation in winter.
Cladding: Corrugated metal wall and roof panels with anti-corrosion coating, ensuring airtightness and thermal stability across seasonal temperature swings.
Foundation: Reinforced concrete footings with embedded anchor bolts for fast, bolted column base connections — no on-site welding required for the main frame.

Project Results

960 m² of clear-span storage delivered within a compact footprint (30 m × 32 m).
8 m eave height accommodates tall equipment and overhead clearance for material handling.
Steel frame prefabricated off-site, reducing on-site construction time compared to conventional concrete or masonry builds.
Q355B high-strength steel frame ensures a 50-year design life with minimal maintenance under normal operating conditions.

Materials & Products Used

Main Frame: Portal Frame Steel Structure — Q355B H-section welded columns and rafters
Secondary Steel: C/Z purlins, bracing rods, and knee braces
Cladding: Corrugated metal roof and wall panels with anti-corrosion coating
Connections: High-strength bolts and anchor bolt foundation kits

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you design steel warehouses for overseas projects like this one in Armenia?

Yes. Canglong Group provides structural design, fabrication, and shipping for steel building projects across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. We adapt load calculations to local wind, snow, and seismic codes.

Do you support third-party engineering review or local authority approval?

Yes. We supply complete structural calculation reports, fabrication drawings, and material certificates. These documents can be submitted to local engineers or building departments for third-party review.

How long does it take from design to delivery for a 960 m² steel warehouse?

Typically, design and fabrication take 4–6 weeks after order confirmation, depending on specification complexity. Shipping time to Armenia or nearby regions adds approximately 3–5 weeks by sea freight.

Do you provide on-site installation guidance?

Yes. We provide detailed bolt-by-bolt erection drawings and video guides. Supervised installation teams or remote video guidance from our engineers can also be arranged upon request.
