In July 2025, Xinguangzheng built a steel pharmaceutical plant in Lima, Peru. It measured 100x50x20 meters. The plant has four floors above ground. It meets strict rules for clean drug production. The building uses strong steel. This helps it handle Peru’s coastal climate. It can resist high humidity, earthquakes, and dust from the Andean region.
Customer Demand
The client is a top Peruvian drug company. It makes pills and vaccines. The company is based near Lima’s industrial parks. It faced a growing demand for local medicines. This was due to rising healthcare needs. They needed a modern, four-story building. It would be used for production, testing, packing, and storage. Their old buildings were out of date. They did not have enough space. They also failed to meet clean air rules.
Key challenges included:
- Processing over 2,000 tons of raw materials each year.
- Handling Peru’s coastal humidity, which reaches 80%.
- Making sure the structure was safe from earthquakes up to 8.0 magnitude.
After careful talks, Xinguangzheng offered a custom steel plant solution. It solved these problems:
- Space Optimization: A 20,000-square-meter building with four floors. The ground floor is for production. Upper floors hold labs and storage.
- Cost Efficiency: The project stayed under a 15 million PEN budget. It used low-cost but safe materials.
- Earthquake Resistance: The design cuts earthquake impact by 50%. It also has airflow systems to lower humidity by 30%.
- Future Scalability: The structure makes it easy to add more clean rooms or equipment later.
Tailored Solutions
Xinguangzheng used strong steel frames. This met the needs of Peru’s industrial areas. Parts were made ahead of time in China. They followed ISO 9001 standards. They also met Peruvian rules, like INDECI earthquake codes. This method led to faster assembly. It also improved work efficiency.
Core Specifications:
- Dimensions: 100m long, 50m wide, and 20m high. It has four floors and elevators for easy movement.
Structural Components:
-
- Frame: Q355B steel beams and columns. They support 50 kN/m². This design balances light loads and stability during earthquakes.
- Walls and Roof: 0.8mm galvanized panels with insulation. The R-value is 4.5. This helps fight humidity and keep temperatures between 10°C and 30°C.
- Foundation: Strong concrete with seismic anchors. It is made for coastal soil to stop shifting.
Custom Features:
-
- Clean Zones: Airtight seals and air systems for dust-free drug making.
- Laboratory Floors: These floors are reinforced. They support heavy testing gear.
- Storage: A 1,000-square-meter cool room is on the top floor. It is for storing medicine.
Implementation Process
The project finished in only six months. It followed a simple four-step process:
- Prefabrication (1.5 months): Parts were carefully made in China. They were tested for earthquake performance.
- Site Preparation (15 days): The foundation was dug and poured. Local crews were hired to lower costs.
- Assembly and Testing (3 months): Pre-made parts were bolted together. This avoided the need for welding. Clean systems were put in, and airflow was tested.
- Final Inspection (2 weeks): Load and earthquake tests were done. 12% of the budget was used for extra sealing to control humidity.
Results and Impact
The plant has shown great results since it opened in July 2025:
- Increased Efficiency: The four-story design made work smoother. It raised production capacity by 40%. It also lowered packaging mistakes.
- Cost Savings: The total project cost was 14 million PEN. This was 7% under budget. Higher sales led to a quick return on investment.
- Durability: The structure passed earthquake tests without damage. The galvanized parts should resist rust for 50 years.
- Energy Efficiency: Air systems cut energy use by 25%. This meets Peru’s green standards for drug making.
