7 Golden Standard Steps in the Industrial Factory Construction Process at Thinh Phat

Industrial factories serve as a solid foundation for all production activities. It is crucial to follow a standardized construction process to ensure quality, schedule adherence, and construction safety. In this article, Thinh Phat Construction proudly presents 7 golden standard steps in the process of building an industrial factory. Let’s explore them together!

Step 1: Site Preparation

This critical stage determines the smooth execution and quality of all subsequent construction phases. Key tasks include:

• Topographic and Geotechnical Survey
  Engineers assess slope, elevation, drainage, and existing structures (if any). Soil bearing capacity, groundwater level, and unfavorable geological conditions are also examined to determine suitable foundation design and necessary ground treatment measures.
• Land Clearing and Leveling
  Based on design drawings and survey data, land is excavated and filled to achieve the correct elevation. Precise use of bulldozers, excavators, and compactors ensures surface stability and prevents future settlement.
• Construction Axis Layout
  Axes for columns, walls, and structural elements are marked using stakes, string lines, or modern total stations. An accurate layout prevents misalignment during structure assembly.
• Material & Equipment Mobilization
  Timely delivery and organized storage of steel, concrete, roofing sheets, finishing materials, and machinery (cranes, mixers, welding machines…) support a continuous and efficient construction process.
• Safety Fence and Signage Installation
  Perimeter fencing, safety signage, and protective gear for workers are implemented to ensure site safety for personnel and the surrounding areas.
• 

Step 2: Foundation Construction

The foundation supports the entire structural load and transfers it to the ground. Precision in this stage is vital for long-term durability. Key activities include:

• Excavation of Foundation Pits
  Excavate to the specified depth and dimensions without affecting nearby structures.
• Blinding Concrete Pouring
  Apply a thin concrete layer to create a clean and level base for reinforcement and footing.
• Reinforcement Installation
  Rebars are fabricated and placed according to design specs, maintaining correct spacing and concrete cover. All splices follow standard practices.
• Concrete Pouring for Footings
  Concrete is poured continuously, using internal vibrators to eliminate air pockets and ensure compaction, especially at corners and intersections.
• Concrete Curing
  Curing with water or protective covering is performed to achieve the designed strength, depending on cement type and weather.

Step 3: Steel Structure Erection

This is a pivotal phase in pre-engineered building (PEB) construction. It involves:

• Fabrication at the Factory
  Components are fabricated off-site with cutting, drilling, welding, surface treatment, and painting.
• Transportation to Site
  Steel components are delivered per schedule, ensuring safety and integrity.
• Column Installation
  Steel columns are lifted and fixed at pre-marked positions using cranes, then braced temporarily.
• Beam & Truss Assembly
  After stabilizing columns, beams, and trusses are installed, following the approved erection sequence.
• Bracing System Installation
  Wall, roof, and cross bracings are installed to enhance lateral stability and wind resistance.
• Inspection & Acceptance
  Structure alignment, deflection, joint quality, and overall stability are thoroughly inspected before proceeding to the next phase.

Step 4: Roofing and Cladding Installation

Once the frame is in place, roofing and cladding are installed to enclose the structure:

• Purlin Installation
  Roof and wall purlins are installed to support sheeting materials based on load design.
• Roof Sheeting
  Roofing sheets are installed with proper slope and sealing methods to prevent leaks and overheating.
• Ventilation and Skylight Systems
  Ventilators, ridge vents, and translucent panels are added for airflow and daylighting.

Step 5: Floor Slab Construction

The floor must support operational loads and resist wear:

• Base Layer Compaction
  Crushed stone is compacted to a specified thickness to form a stable sub-base.
• Concrete Slab Pouring
  Concrete is poured in divided bays to control shrinkage and ensure quality.
• Surface Finishing
  Power trowels are used to achieve a smooth and durable surface finish.

Step 6: Installation of MEP Systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing)

Critical for operational efficiency and safety:

• Electrical Systems
  Install lighting, power outlets, grounding, and lightning protection as per electrical codes.
• Plumbing Systems
  Install water supply lines, drainage for rainwater, and wastewater.
• Fire Protection Systems
  Install fire alarms, sprinkler systems, extinguishers, and hydrants in compliance with fire safety regulations.
• HVAC Systems
  Install mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning systems to ensure thermal comfort and air quality.
• Specialized Systems
  Install compressed air, steam, or wastewater treatment systems depending on industry requirements.

Step 7: Finishing and Final Acceptance

Final checks and cleanup before handover:

• Site Cleaning
  Thorough cleaning and removal of construction debris.
• Internal Inspection
  Inspect all items against the design and standards before official acceptance.
• Project Handover
  Submit complete legal documentation, as-built drawings, material quality certificates, and operation manuals.
