Inside Thailand’s 38m steel tavern: pu roof, arch entrance

Amidst the continuous upgrading of commercial buildings in Southeast Asia, steel structure buildings that combine design and practicality are becoming a new trend. The steel structure bar project in Thailand, developed by the Canglong Group, is a prime example. The project integrates spatial design, structural optimization, and rapid construction, employing a one-stop solution from design to delivery, and is currently under construction.

I. Project Overview

The overall dimensions of the bar project are:

  • Length: 38 meters
  • Width: 16.8 meters
  • Eaves Height: 6.5 meters

The building features a double-pitched roof with a significant slope, which not only enhances drainage but also gives the overall appearance a more visually striking look. In tropical and rainy Thailand, this roof form is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Furthermore, the project is a two-story structure, and through rational space planning, it achieves a multi-functional integration of dining, socializing, and sightseeing. An internal 1.5-meter-wide steel staircase enhances the industrial style of the structure while ensuring efficient access.

II. Structural System

The project utilizes a mature and reliable steel structure system for its main structure:

  • Beams and Columns: Q355B H-beams
  • Purplers: C-beam structure

Q355B steel possesses excellent strength and toughness, meeting the safety and durability requirements of commercial buildings. H-beams, serving as the main frame, provide stable load-bearing capacity, while C-beam purlins reduce overall steel consumption while maintaining strength, achieving a balance between structure and cost.

This combined structure is widely used in commercial buildings globally, particularly suitable for projects requiring large spaces and rapid construction.

III. Enclosure System

The project’s enclosure system fully embodies the combination of function and aesthetics:

Roof System

PU roofing panels are used, offering excellent thermal insulation and good sealing performance. In Thailand’s high-temperature environment, this effectively reduces indoor temperature fluctuations, improves comfort, and reduces air conditioning energy consumption.

Wall Design

Front Facade: Glass Curtain Wall

👉 Provides unobstructed views, enhancing commercial appeal.

Side Walls: PU sandwich panels + 1-meter brick wall

👉 Balances thermal insulation and structural stability.

Rear Wall: Full brick wall structure

👉 Enhances privacy and security.

In addition, the project includes motorized roller shutters for convenient equipment access and daily operations.

IV. Detailed Configuration

To ensure the building’s long-term performance, the project is equipped with a complete set of functional systems:

  • Gutter System: Efficiently collects rainwater from the roof
  • Drainage Pipe System: Ensures smooth drainage
  • Steel Structure Staircase: Connects upper and lower levels

The unified design and supply of these supporting systems makes the overall building more complete, avoiding problems such as on-site secondary procurement and construction mismatches.

V. Advantages of a One-Stop Solution

This project, designed by Canglong Group, utilizes a one-stop service encompassing steel structure component supply and shipping, showcasing the following core advantages:

Design Optimization

Customized structural and enclosure solutions are tailored to local climate and commercial applications, enhancing the building’s suitability.

Factory Prefabrication

All steel structure components are manufactured in a standardized factory, ensuring consistent quality and shortening on-site construction timelines.

Efficient Logistics

Unified packaging and shipping reduce time and communication costs in international projects.

Systematic Delivery

Comprehensive supply from the main structure to the enclosure and accessories improves installation efficiency and reduces project risks.

VI. Industry Value

This Thai pub project is not only a single building case study but also reflects current global trends in commercial building development:

  • Steel structures are increasingly replacing traditional buildings.
  • Integrated design and functionality enhance the experience.
  • Increased application of energy-saving materials.
  • Prefabrication and rapid construction are becoming mainstream.

Conclusion

In today’s global construction industry, moving towards high efficiency, low energy consumption, and modularization, steel structure pub projects like this are becoming an important direction for upgrading commercial spaces. One-stop solutions are becoming a key factor in driving the successful implementation of projects.
