Challenge 01
Bulk storage loads
Our answer
Where crops or ingredients are stored against walls, we design retaining walls or steel frames for the material pressure your engineer specifies.

Steel buildings for Thailand's farm-to-factory chain
Feed mills, crop stores, rice, sugar, cassava and rubber plants, built for bulk loads, dust and the rainy season. Engineered from our experience with feed mills across the region, and shipped CIF to the Thai port nearest your site.

Thai agro-industry
Processing close to the farm, at harvest speed
Thailand is one of the world's major exporters of rice, sugar, cassava, rubber and animal feed ingredients. Processing plants sit close to the farms in the Central Plains, the North-East and the South, often on greenfield rural sites far from the big industrial estates.
Agro-industry buildings work hard: bulk materials push against walls, dust settles everywhere and the harvest sets the deadline. A steel building delivers large, high stores quickly, but only if it is designed for bulk loads, sealed against rain and coated for a humid, dusty environment.
- High, wide stores for bulk and bagged products
- Walls and frames designed for bulk material pressure where required
- Roofs and gutters sized for monsoon storms on open rural sites
- Ready before harvest, with phased construction for running plants
Your challenges, our answers
What agro-industry owners ask us, and how we solve it
Challenge 02
Dust and pests
Our answer
Details with fewer ledges, sealed ridges and closed sections where dust would settle, plus bird-proofing at openings.
Challenge 03
Remote rural sites
Our answer
Pieces packed in erection sequence with clear marks and drawings, so local erection teams work efficiently far from the city.
Challenge 04
Harvest deadlines
Our answer
Fabrication slot reserved at order and staged deliveries, so storage is ready before the crop arrives.
Challenge 05
Tall process towers and conveyors
Our answer
Support structures, platforms and conveyor galleries fabricated with the main buildings.
Challenge 06
Humidity and fertiliser or feed chemicals
Our answer
Blast cleaning to Sa 2.5 and an ISO 12944 system chosen for the environment; galvanising on request.
What we build
Building types in agriculture and feed
Feed mills
Production buildings, ingredient stores and finished-feed warehouses with tower support steel.
Rice, sugar and cassava plants
Receiving halls, drying and milling buildings, and bulk stores for seasonal crops.
Bulk and bagged stores
High, wide stores for paddy, sugar, starch, fertiliser and bagged feed.
Conveyor galleries and towers
Steel galleries, bucket-elevator towers and process platforms.
Fruit and produce packing houses
Packing halls and cold rooms for fruit, vegetables and fresh produce.
Farm and livestock buildings
Wide-span sheds for livestock, machinery and farm logistics.
Inside the structure
Engineered for bulk loads, dust and the rainy season
Typical design choices. Every project is engineered to its own brief, site and standards.
| Design item | Typical approach |
|---|---|
| Clear span | 30–60 m for bulk stores, or multi-span for large warehouses |
| Eave height | Set by stockpile height, loader reach and conveyor clearance |
| Wall loads | Bulk material pressure on retaining walls or frames where specified |
| Conveyor and tower loads | Support steel for elevators, conveyors and platforms |
| Roof drainage | Gutters and downpipes for intense monsoon rainfall |
| Coating | ISO 12944 system for humid, dusty or chemical environments; galvanising on request |
| Ventilation | Ridge ventilators and louvres for heat and moisture |

Questions Thai clients ask us
Can a steel store hold bulk rice, sugar or fertiliser against its walls?
Yes, if it is designed for it. Tell us the material, its density and the stockpile height; we design retaining walls or frames for the pressure, or keep the steel free of bulk loads with concrete walls.
Have you built feed mills?
Yes. Our portfolio includes feed mills for Tongwei, New Hope, Hai Dai and Greenfeed in Vietnam and Cambodia. You can see them in our international projects.
Can you deliver to a rural site far from a port?
Yes. We ship CIF to the nearest Thai port or DDP to your site, with pieces bundled by erection zone for the local team.
Which coating suits a feed or fertiliser plant?
We blast to Sa 2.5 and choose an ISO 12944 system for the corrosivity of the area, and offer hot-dip galvanising where the environment is aggressive.
