Send Your Project ParametersWhat the Client Needed to Solve
Before construction began, the client's Zinder warehouse project raised several practical requirements that the structural design and installation plan needed to address together.
- Storing large-scale engineering equipment
- Lifting and moving equipment inside the warehouse
- Ensuring smooth entry and exit for large equipment
- Achieving natural daylighting without wall-mounted windows
- Enabling the local erection team to complete the steel structure installation
- Controlling the risks of overseas shipping and on-site component matching

Discuss Your Project RequirementsHow We Addressed the Main Project Challenges
Each requirement above was matched to a specific engineering response during the design stage, so the finished structure would perform as intended once it reached the client's site in Zinder.
| Project Challenge | Engineering Response | Client Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Sandy soil conditions | Coordinated foundation reactions, column base and anchor bolt requirements based on the geotechnical data | Reduces the risk of mismatch between the foundation and the main structure |
| Equipment lifting requirement | Incorporated overhead crane runway requirements into the main structural design | Supports equipment lifting and movement inside the building |
| Large equipment access | Configured large sliding doors and equipment access openings | Improves efficiency for equipment entry and exit |
| Local erection | Used bolted connections and provided installation drawings | Reduces the difficulty of local on-site erection |
| Overseas delivery | Numbered components and shipped them in 11 containers | Improves unloading, identification and installation organization |

Discuss Your Local Design ConditionsFabrication and Quality Control for the Steel Warehouse Project in Niger
From cutting and welding to the final pre-shipment checks, every stage of production for the Niger warehouse steelwork was carried out and verified in-house, ensuring dimensional accuracy, weld quality and readiness for a smooth erection on site.
| Fabrication Step | Quality Control Focus | Risk Reduced for the Client |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting | Plate dimensions and cutting accuracy | Reduces dimensional deviation in finished components |
| Build-Up | Flange and web plate positioning | Ensures an accurate H-section profile |
| SAW（Submerged Arc Welding） | Weld seam quality control | Lowers the risk of defects in load-bearing welds |
| Fitting-Up | Connection plate and bolt-hole inspection | Reduces bolt-hole mismatch during on-site erection |
| Sandblasting | Surface preparation quality | Improves coating adhesion |
| Painting | Coating appearance and thickness | Improves protection during transport and in service |

Discuss Your Next ProjectFrequently Asked Questions About the Niger Warehouse Project
The 3,200 m² building was developed as a warehouse for an individual client in Zinder, Niger, to store engineering equipment and allow the equipment to be lifted and moved using an internal crane.
The warehouse measures 80 m long and 40 m wide, with a 10 m building height. It uses a light steel frame structural system with H-section steel columns and rafters as the main structure.
Zinder's sandy soil placed high demands on the foundation, so our engineers designed the footing and anchor bolt layout specifically around the site's bearing capacity before releasing the fabrication drawings.
The roof and walls use Rockwool sandwich panels for insulation. The building includes large sliding doors for equipment access and roof daylighting panels for natural light, with no windows in the wall system.
Yes. The client required the ability to lift and move engineering equipment inside the warehouse, so an overhead crane system was integrated into the main structure.
The warehouse package was shipped unpackaged in 11 containers from the Port of Qingdao, China. All structural connections used bolted joints, and the on-site installation was completed within approximately 90 days.
Yes. A new warehouse must be recalculated according to its location, dimensions, intended use, soil bearing capacity, wind and snow loads, door openings, insulation system and local approval requirements. The Niger project specifications should not be copied directly to another location.
