For this logistics facility in Colombia, STM Group was responsible for the steel construction, BIM engineering, and realization of a building designed to meet strict local earthquake regulations.

A key challenge was achieving a clear span of 70 meters, as required by the client. By applying CPI's GLP beams in a custom curved configuration, the team successfully met both the seismic and structural demands, delivering a safe, efficient, and cost-effective solution tailored to local conditions.

‍

In response to the client’s needs, STM developed a submersible slipway optimized to reduce overall construction costs by minimizing the number of support points on the seabed.

This cost-effective design was made possible through the innovative use of CPI's GLP beams, which provided the necessary strength and durability.

Recently, the slipway was extended further to accommodate evolving operational demands, showcasing our flexible and adaptive engineering approach.

STM Group was responsible for the steel construction and engineering of this hotel project, built onto an existing concrete structure.

The main challenge was designing a structurally efficient steel framework that integrated seamlessly with the existing building, while meeting strict optimization requirements.

The usage of our GLP and THQ profiles allowed us to meet those challenging requirements.

‍

For the faculty of the HUA, STM Group collaborated closely with the architect to develop an integrated architectural and structural design.

A key requirement was that large parts of the steel structure would remain visible throughout the building, making both the engineering precision and aesthetic detailing crucial.

The challenge lay in ensuring the exposed steel met both structural demands and high architectural standards.

‍

For VMI, STM Group engineered and delivered the steel structure for a logistics facility, with integrated offices, where large clear spans of over 40 meters were a key requirement.

The client sought a cost-effective solution to achieve these spans without compromising on structural integrity. By applying GLP beams, STM successfully realized an efficient, open layout that maximized usable floor space and operational flexibility.

The challenge lay in balancing cost efficiency with technical performance in the design and execution.

‍

At the request of the client, STM Group engineered and delivered a complete repair facility designed to meet the specific operational demands of the location. Working closely together from the earliest design phase, a practical and efficient layout was developed.

The entire structure was supplied as a modular, prefabricated construction kit, allowing for swift and cost-effective on-site assembly.

This flexible concept ensured the facility could be tailored to future expansion or functional adjustments, providing a sustainable long-term solution.

‍

To create this logistics and production facility, including integrated offices, STM Group collaborated closely with the architect to engineer a practical and buildable design, while also managing the complete construction process.

The final design was tailored to meet the client’s functional requirements, resulting in a 5,000 m² open production hall featuring a crane track supported by just three central columns — maximizing operational flexibility and workspace efficiency.

The challenge was to combine clear architectural vision with technical functionality within a streamlined delivery process.

‍

For this project, STM Group was responsible for the complete turnkey design, engineering and delivery of a production and logistics facility.

A defining element of the design was the integration of heavy 60-ton magnetic cranes into the structural framework. This posed a significant engineering challenge, requiring careful coordination between architectural design, structural calculations, and crane specifications.

The result is a robust, high-capacity facility tailored to the client’s demanding operational requirements.

‍

For ATCO, the client’s ambition was to optimize the steel structure while achieving larger clear spans within the facility. STM Group responded by applying its in-house developed GLP beams, which made it possible to realize the required wide spans efficiently.

This approach not only improved the structural layout but also led to a significant reduction in both construction costs and the total steel volume used.

The project is a strong example of smart engineering delivering tangible operational and financial benefits.

‍

In close collaboration with the client and architect, STM Group developed and engineered a functional and structural office building design tailored to the client’s specific operational needs.

The challenge was to translate these functional requirements into an efficient, buildable steel structure while maintaining architectural quality and flexibility in the design.

STM Group delivered a turnkey engineering solution for an assembly hall designed specifically for marine vessels.

The hall stands 60 meters high and features a heavy-duty lifting capacity of 300 tons, allowing efficient handling of large ship components.

This project combined precise engineering with full turnkey realization, meeting the complex functional and structural demands of marine maintenance operations.

‍

For SteelMill Pechiney, STM Group engineered a complete concept focused on the production of anodes.

A key challenge was the integration of heavy 60-ton cranes and specialized lifting equipment into the structural design.

The project required precise engineering to ensure safe, efficient operations while accommodating the complex production processes within the facility.

‍

Cargolift stands as Europe’s largest building by volume, featuring an impressive 115-meter clear span, a height of 110 meters, and a length of 300 meters.

Achieving these extraordinary dimensions was only possible through the use of STM Group’s specialized GLP beams, designed specifically for such large spans. The project also included a parabolic door construction, showcasing advanced engineering and precise realization.

This logistics facility exemplifies how innovative steel construction techniques can push the boundaries of modern industrial architecture.
