Zamil Steel has won a SR22.5 million ($6 million) contract to manufacture Asia’s largest pre-engineered steel building for Singapore’s new Aviation Exhibition Center.

The project, which will allow Singapore to host the Singapore International Air Show 2008, is secured by Zamil Steel Vietnam and will be completed, exported and assembled in an eight-month timeframe.
“This project demonstrates the trust in our brand and the confidence in the ability of Zamil Steel Vietnam to undertake large-scale projects, which in this case will serve Asia’s largest annual aerospace and defense event,” says executive vice president Adnan A Al Mansour.
 “This export contract – which represents one of the largest projects to date for the company’s factory in the South East Asian country – is a clear endorsement of our engineering and manufacturing capabilities and underscores the high regard for Zamil Steel Vietnam in its ability to provide tailored solutions within stringent deadlines and in line with specific safety and functionality requirements,” he says.
Boasting a 72-m clear span, the scope of work includes engineering, fabrication, delivery and installation. It will also feature Zamil Steel’s ultimate MaxSEAM roofing system – which through a 74-m long non-overlapping single high-rib panel – will ensure complete waterproofing of the colossal structure.
Zamil Steel Vietnam is also using the latest international design codes and is also providing the client with cost benefits resulting from an economy of scale associated with advanced and efficient production facilities.
The $40 million Singapore Aviation Exhibition Center will be built on a 40,000 sq m site in Singapore’s Changi East site and will comprise a purpose-built exhibition hall, adjoining apron space for static aircraft displays, a demonstration site with a natural terrain setting, chalets and other facilities.
