At a major gold mine project in Africa, traditional concrete construction stalled due to local resource scarcity. Implementing Xinhai's modular steel structure solution cut the project timeline by 40% and reduced overall costs by 30%. This is no isolated case—as the global mining industry shifts towards high-efficiency and low-carbon operations, steel structures have become the core choice for modern mineral processing plant construction.

The Steel Structure Revolution in Processing Plants: Why Global Miners Are Switching

Win-Win on Cost & Speed: In regions with underdeveloped industrial bases (e.g., Africa), concrete construction costs can soar over 200%. Steel structures are lightweight, with components factory-prefabricated, reducing on-site labor by 60% and shortening schedules by 30%-50%.

Full Lifecycle Advantages: Seismic performance improved by 50%, corrosion-resistant design lifespan exceeding 30 years, modular design supports flexible future capacity expansion, eliminating the need for "demolition and rebuild."

New Safety & Environmental Standards: All-bolted connection technology eliminates high-altitude welding risks, reduces construction waste by 80%, and aligns with global green mining trends.

Xinhai's Four Core Steel Structure Technologies Redefining Plant Construction Standards

▶ BIM Intelligent Design: From Blueprints to Reality

We employ cutting-edge BIM 3D technology for full digital integration across design, construction, and operation:

Zero Tolerance for Clashes: Automated detection of pipeline and equipment interferences prevents rework losses (reduced design changes by 37% in a Mongolian gold project).

Precise Material Control: Steel component tolerance ≤2mm, auxiliary material procurement accuracy reaches 98%, avoiding million-dollar inventory pile-ups.

Virtual Walkthroughs for Decision Making: Clients can "walk through" their future plant for 360° layout review, boosting decision efficiency by 50%.
