Stainless Steel Load-Bearing Structure Fabrication for Slaughterhouse Facility, Iraq

This project involves a stainless steel structure fabrication solution for a slaughterhouse weighing facility in Iraq, designed to operate under high humidity and strict hygiene conditions.

The entire load-bearing system was fabricated using stainless steel square tubes, with a strong focus on dimensional accuracy, fabrication consistency, and on-site assembly efficiency.

To support fast identification and accurate installation, laser-marked numbering was applied to all major structural components.

This project covered the delivery of a stainless steel structure fabrication package for a slaughterhouse facility located in Iraq.

Given the operational environment—long-term exposure to moisture, frequent wash-downs, chemical cleaning agents, and strict hygiene regulations—the project imposed higher-than-average requirements on both corrosion resistance and structural reliability.

From the early stage, it was evident that material supply alone would not be sufficient. The project required a fabrication partner capable of validating structural logic, executing precision stainless steel structure fabrication, and coordinating inspection under industrial operating conditions.

After evaluating the operating environment and service life requirements, AISI 304 stainless steel was selected for the entire load-bearing structure to balance corrosion resistance, mechanical performance, and long-term maintenance cost.

The fabrication scope was fully drawing-based and included:

• Custom-fabricated stainless steel columns for primary load transfer

• Stainless steel beams manufactured strictly according to issued structural drawings

• Perforated stainless steel plates with hole patterns, spacing, and tolerances defined by client specifications

All components were fabricated for on-site assembly, making dimensional accuracy, hole positioning, and fabrication consistency critical to the success of the stainless steel structure fabrication process.

Although fabrication was executed based on client-issued drawings, Sanmei Metal conducted an internal pre-fabrication engineering review as part of its standard stainless steel structure fabrication risk-control process.

During this review, a critical structural inconsistency was identified that could have led to improper load transfer and potential failure under operating conditions.

Sanmei Metal immediately:

• Flagged the structural risk with clear technical reasoning

• Coordinated directly with the client’s engineering team

• Supported revisions of key structural details prior to fabrication

This early-stage intervention eliminated a major safety risk and prevented costly rework or operational failure after installation.

This project demonstrates Sanmei Metal’s capabilities in stainless steel structure fabrication for hygiene-sensitive industrial environments.

The scope extended beyond fabrication execution to include material selection, structural logic verification, controlled production, and coordinated inspection support.

Daily production updates enabled remote monitoring and effective coordination throughout fabrication, inspection, and delivery, providing strong confidence in both execution quality and long-term operational performance.
