Al Saeedi Chemical Factory | Durability and Safety in Industrial Design :
Meeting stringent safety and durability standards for a chemical factory in Riyadh’s industrial outskirts.
Al Saeedi Chemical Factory required a robust and reliable solution for its external walls. The project’s challenges included stringent safety standards, exposure to harsh environmental conditions, and the need for a fast construction timeline to meet operational deadlines, ACFA Panel provided the answer to these challenges.
The factory’s construction team prioritized safety, requiring fire-resistant materials to ensure compliance with industrial regulations. ACFA Panels’ fire-resistant properties met this critical need, while their water-resistant nature added further protection against environmental wear and tear. Quick installation capabilities allowed the team to minimize downtime, keeping the project on track despite tight schedules. Additionally, managing the structural load was essential; the lightweight panels provided a solution that maintained stability without overburdening the foundation. By eliminating plastering, the project also benefited from substantial cost savings. Today, the Al Saeedi Chemical Factory stands as a model of industrial efficiency and safety, after overcoming all of the construction process’ challenges with the innovative use of ACFA Panels.
