Redefining Industry Standards: A Design Revolution That Challenges Conventions
At the beginning of the project, many owners faced a dilemma: the original multi-story frame structure design seemed "safe", but it had hidden dangers like steel waste and a lengthy construction period. During their assessment of client needs and design plans, XTD Steel's engineering team uncovered a critical inefficiency: When the manufacturing facility only required a single-level working space, and the roof load demand was minimal, why stick with the traditional, heavy-handed approach?
"Using a large-span space frame structure to replace the current multi-layer frame design can reduce the amount of steel used by 30%." Dong Jianhua, chairman of XTD Steel Structure, personally led the team in studying and proposing a subversive solution. This not only saves costs, but also improves efficiency. The construction period was shortened from 180 days to 135 days, and the project was delivered 45 days ahead of schedule.
The core of this "subtraction" is to transform "safety redundancy" into "precise mechanical calculation." Relying on a number of national patents on special-shaped node connection technology, XTD Steel Structure has successfully overcome the difficulties in the application of frame structures. This makes the idea of "using less material to achieve stronger support" possible, saving customers millions of costs.
User-Centric Shift: From Short-Term Profits to Holistic Value Creation
"Rather earn less ourselves than let clients waste money." This isn't just a marketing slogan, but the operating principle of XTD Steel. In projects like Dalian Electromagnetic, our team made what many considered puzzling, even "loss-leading" decisions:
Frontloaded Design: Transforming into the Client's Strategic Design Partner
Form an interdisciplinary team (process engineer + logistics planner + structural expert) to intervene in the planning of customer production lines in advance. By simulating equipment layout and logistics flow lines, the spacing between plant columns and clearance height are optimized to avoid cost overruns in later transformation.
Lifecycle Costing: Beyond One-Time Quotes
By using the cost accounting model, it proves to the owner that the initial cost of the single-layer frame structure solution is not only lower, but also saves subsequent operation and maintenance costs (anti-corrosion and maintenance frequency are reduced by 50%), and the comprehensive cost is significantly lower than the original solution.
Strategic Margin Allocation: Investing in Decades-Long Partnerships
In the short term, saving costs for customers does not seem to be in the company's interests, but in the long term, a good reputation will win more opportunities for cooperation. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring construction quality, XTD Steel Structure puts customers in their shoes, treats them as friends, and takes the initiative to make concessions with "real money"!
Eco-Steel Revolution: Carbon Accountability per Ton
As a practitioner of energy conservation and emission reduction goals, XTD Steel Structure uses a dynamic load analysis system to control the design error within 0.03%, making the best use of every inch of steel; starting from every project, it helps environmental protection. For example, the Dalian Electric Porcelain project reduces the use of steel by 1,700 tons compared with the traditional solution, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 5,355 tons.

The Dalian electromagnetic plant saves more than just money. It is also a microcosm of China's intelligent manufacturing transformation from "scale expansion" to "lean creation". XTD Steel Structure has proved with actions that technological innovation is for the accuracy of solutions, and commercial value is not equal to profit maximization, but to the maximization of customer demand. When more and more companies, like XTD Steel Structure, regard "the money saved by customers" as the highest reputation, the quality revolution, efficiency revolution, and power revolution of China's manufacturing industry are ushering in a deeper transformation.
Knowledge Expansion of This Article
- The frame structure is a network space structure composed of rods arranged in a certain pattern, which realizes three-dimensional force through node balls. It has the characteristics of a short load transfer path and uniform distribution.
- Unlimited span: a single span can reach up to 120 meters, far exceeding the 30-40 meter limit of traditional frames
- 30% lighter deadweight: The steel usage is reduced by 30% compared with the frame structure (from 5,700 tons to 4,000 tons in this project), and the foundation load is reduced simultaneously.
- Excellent earthquake resistance: Through the dynamic load simulation system, it can withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake and a magnitude 12 typhoon, with an extremely high safety factor.
- High construction efficiency: modular prefabrication + on-site assembly, the construction period is shortened by 45 days compared with traditional processes (this project was shortened from 180 days to 135 days)
