How We Design Steel Structures for Easy Shipping and Installation Abroad

In international projects, a steel structure does not need to be strong and durable only — it must also be designed intelligently to account for shipping, handling, and on-site installation.
At Hasanoglu, a Turkey-based steel structure design and manufacturing company, we believe that a successful project starts at the design stage, not when the materials arrive at site.

Design Starts with Logistics

From the very beginning, we ask the right questions:

  • How will this structure be shipped?
  • How many trucks or containers will be required?
  • Can it be installed efficiently using local labor?

The answers to these questions shape our structural design approach.

Modular Design for Export Projects

We adopt a modular design strategy, dividing steel structures into well-studied units that:

  • Are easy to transport and assemble
  • Fit standard truck and container dimensions
  • Reduce oversized or difficult-to-handle components

This approach significantly simplifies logistics and lowers shipping costs.

Optimized Weight Without Compromising Strength

Through precise structural calculations and proper steel section selection, we:

  • Reduce the total weight of the structure
  • Minimize the number of shipments required
  • Maintain high safety and durability standards

Bolted Connections Instead of On-Site Welding

For overseas projects, we prioritize bolted connections rather than on-site welding, as this provides:

  • Faster installation
  • Less dependency on highly specialized labor
  • Reduced risk of errors during erection

Full Pre-Fabrication at the Factory

Before shipment, all components are:

  • Pre-drilled and prepared
  • Clearly numbered and labeled
  • Delivered with clear and detailed erection drawings

This ensures a smooth and efficient installation process on site.

Adapting to Local Conditions

Each project is designed according to:

  • Local wind, seismic, and temperature conditions
  • Applicable structural design codes
  • Site conditions and available workforce

Reduced On-Site Execution Time

Smart design leads to:

  • Faster assembly
  • Lower overall project costs
  • On-time delivery without unnecessary delays

Steel structures intended for export require expertise that combines engineering design, manufacturing, and logistics knowledge.
At Hasanoglu, we do not simply manufacture steel structures — we deliver integrated solutions that ensure safe delivery, efficient installation, and timely project completion wherever the project is located.
