Project Overview
The Ford Package E project, a joint venture between B&T Steel and RSB Projects, included the design and construction of a new press plant, high-speed press line, and body shop. The project marks a significant milestone for the automotive industry in South Africa.
The building covers an area of about 10,000 square meters and uses approximately 1,800 tonnes of steel. B&T Steel was responsible for the crane building in the new facility. The extensive use of steel in the project is what makes it stand out. The building is quite substantial at its peak, with a PSI of 60, and it has four overhead cranes with a capacity of 60 tonnes each.
