Challenge 01
Tall machines and film towers
Our answer
Eave heights and local high bays designed around your tallest equipment and its maintenance access.
Industries · Plastics & packaging
High-bay steel buildings for plastics and packaging
Extrusion and film halls, injection moulding shops, corrugated and printing plants, and roll and resin stores. Tall, wide buildings with crane bays for moulds and rolls, designed to Thai codes and shipped CIF to the port nearest your plant.

Thai plastics and packaging
Packaging grows with every industry it serves
Thailand's plastics and packaging makers supply food, beverage, electronics, automotive and e-commerce customers at home and across ASEAN. Upstream resin comes from the Map Ta Phut petrochemical cluster; converters are spread across the EEC, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon and Ayutthaya.
These plants are tall and heavy: blown-film towers, extrusion lines, moulding machines, cranes for moulds and rolls, and large stores of resin and finished goods that need fire separation. Steel delivers the height and span quickly, ready for the next line.
- High eaves for blown-film towers and tall racking
- Crane bays for moulds, dies and paper or film rolls
- Fire separation between production and stores
- Expansion bays for the next extrusion or moulding line
Your challenges, our answers
What plastics and packaging makers ask us, and how we solve it
Challenge 02
Moulds, dies and rolls
Our answer
Crane runways for mould changes and roll handling, designed with the frame.
Challenge 03
Fire load of resin and finished goods
Our answer
Fire walls, separated stores and intumescent protection where a fire rating is required.
Challenge 04
Heat from extruders and ovens
Our answer
Ridge ventilation, louvres and roof insulation to control temperature on the shop floor.
Challenge 05
Fast customer start-ups
Our answer
Fabrication reserved at order and shipped by erection zone so lines can be installed on time.
Challenge 06
Adding lines later
Our answer
Extendable end walls and runways for the next machine.

Inside the structure
Engineered for height, cranes and fire load
Typical design choices. Every project is engineered to its own brief, site and standards.
| Design item | Typical approach |
|---|---|
| Clear span | 24–50 m production halls, multi-span for large plants |
| Eave height | Set by film towers, machines and racking; local high bays where needed |
| Overhead cranes | Runways typically 5–20 T for moulds and rolls |
| Fire separation | Fire walls and protected steel between production and stores |
| Ventilation | Ridge ventilators and louvres for extruder and oven heat |
| Roof loads | Services, exhausts and solar PV |
| Coating | ISO 12944 system for the site |

FAQ
Questions Thai clients ask us
Can you build a tall hall for a blown-film line?
Yes. Send the tower height and maintenance clearance; we design a local high bay or set the eave height for the whole hall, whichever is more economical.
Do you design crane runways for mould changes?
Yes. We design runways and crane loads with the frame for the crane capacity and span you specify.
How do you handle the fire risk of resin stores?
We work with your fire engineer on separation and apply intumescent protection where a fire rating is required.
Which plants of this kind have you built?
Our Thai projects include TPlas Factory and sqm Factory, and our portfolio includes packaging and yarn factories in Vietnam such as Cuong Dai Packaging.
