Large steel structure engineering client – 3000 tons of low alloy steel coils, ensuring the efficient implementation of key projects

The client is a renowned domestic steel structure engineering enterprise, specializing in the construction of steel structure projects such as large-scale factories, bridges, and municipal venues. This collaboration is targeted at a provincial-level key industrial park factory project, which requires the procurement of a large quantity of low-alloy high-strength steel coils for the processing and fabrication of the main beams, columns, and supporting structures of the factory. The project has stringent requirements for the strength, welding performance, and dimensional accuracy of the steel coils. Additionally, the project schedule is tight, necessitating the rapid completion of supply to ensure the construction progress.
customer pain points

– The project timeline is tight, with only 20 days reserved from order confirmation to goods mobilization. Traditional suppliers’ delivery cycles are insufficient, potentially leading to delays in construction milestones;

– The load-bearing parts of steel structures have extremely high performance requirements for steel coils, ensuring that the yield strength and tensile strength meet standards, and there are no cracks or pores after welding. At the same time, the dimensional tolerance needs to be controlled within ±0.05mm to avoid secondary processing losses;

– Due to the large procurement volume (3000 tons), it is necessary to supply in batches and flexibly adjust the delivery time according to the project construction progress, which greatly tests the supply chain collaboration capability;

– The project is located in a remote industrial park, making logistics and transportation challenging. It is essential to ensure that steel coils are protected from bumps and rust during transportation, and that the products arrive at the site in good condition.

Our solution

Upon receiving the order, we promptly established a dedicated service team, collaborating with steel mills, processing workshops, and logistics teams to advance the process. We monitored every step throughout the entire process and precisely addressed customer pain points:

1. Prioritize resource allocation to ensure production capacity supply: Leveraging long-term strategic partnerships with major domestic steel mills such as Baowu and Ansteel, we directly secure exclusive production capacity for low alloy steel coils, bypassing intermediate circulation links, shortening the production cycle, and ensuring the completion of all product production within 15 days;

2. Strict quality control to establish a solid quality defense line: During the production process, professional quality inspection personnel are stationed at the factory to supervise and control the entire process of core procedures such as rolling, annealing, and flaw detection. Each coil of steel undergoes multiple tests including tensile testing, bending testing, and welding testing, and an authoritative quality inspection report is issued to ensure that all product indicators meet customer requirements and industry standards. At the same time, precise control of dimensional tolerances is implemented to reduce the cost of secondary processing for customers;

3. Customized delivery, adapting to the construction pace: Based on the project construction progress, a supply plan in three batches is formulated, with each batch containing 1000 tons. The mobilization time is confirmed with the customer in advance, and the logistics departure nodes are flexibly adjusted to ensure seamless connection between the mobilization of steel coils and the construction progress, without delay or backlog;

4. Professional packaging + dedicated logistics to ensure intact delivery: Waterproof laminating + wooden pallet packaging is adopted, with anti-collision corner protectors added to the outer layer to effectively prevent bumps and rust during transportation; a dedicated logistics fleet is established, optimal transportation routes are planned, and specially-assigned personnel are arranged to follow the vehicles throughout the journey, providing real-time feedback on the transportation status to ensure the safe and timely delivery of steel coils to the project site;

5. Comprehensive technical support to facilitate efficient construction: Arrange technical personnel to be on-site for coordination, provide suggestions on steel coil processing and cutting, assist customers in optimizing the processing flow, solve material-related issues encountered during the construction process, and enhance construction efficiency.

collaborative achievements

Leveraging our efficient delivery capabilities, rigorous quality control, and attentive full-service support, we successfully completed the delivery of all 3,000 tons of steel coils five days ahead of schedule. All products passed the customer’s re-inspection, with not a single non-conforming item or delivery delay. The steel coils exhibited excellent welding performance, with the processing loss rate controlled within 1%, significantly lower than the industry average. This effectively helped the customer reduce construction costs. Following this collaboration, the customer recognized us as a core supplier and established long-term, stable partnerships for multiple subsequent provincial steel structure projects. They highly praised our product quality and service efficiency, stating, “Professional, reliable, and responsible. Choosing you makes our project construction more assured and efficient.”.
