Gason factory
Project overview
Gason, a rapidly expanding farm machinery manufacturer, sought to construct a cutting-edge new facility to enhance their manufacturing capacity and accommodate their state-of-the-art mechanised storage system.
Central Steel Build's team tailored the building design meticulously to seamlessly integrate with Gason's machinery and lean manufacturing operation, ensuring maximum operational efficiency and effective use of the space.
The project was strategically divided into two phases to align with Gason's growth strategy. This phased approach would enable Gason to have minimal disruption to business operations, and allow them to establish and streamline their processes before commencing the second phase.

Challenges and impact
The Central Steel Build design team collaborated closely with the commercial builder MKM Constructions to proactively address all of Gason’s specifications, strategically creating an interconnected open breezeway to connect the two stages of the construction. To ensure effective compartmentalisation against fire hazards, we designed the second structure to incorporate a fire separation wall along the end that faced the first structure.
This second stage of the project enables Gason to further optimise its manufacturing processes by introducing an automated storage system for small parts crucial in the assembly of its farm machinery products, thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity.
