What the project involved

BMW Shenyang Dadong solar carport

Rows of columns carry shaped canopy frames over the parking bays, with solar panels on top.

On site, the columns were set out across the car park first, then the canopy frames were lifted onto them with truck cranes. Our scope was fabricating the steel.

What the number tells you

For buyers comparing quotes

At 30 kg of steel per m², the carport came in at the same steel weight as the single-storey warehouses we built at Huaxing Logistics Park. Different buildings, the same weight: the loads, not the building type, set the steel.

Our steel structures have gone into projects for BMW, Yili and CP Group.
