About
I am the person who answers your technical questions and follows your project to the container leaving our factory. This page is how I work and what that means in practice.
01 / Positioning
I am the Senior Export Engineer at Hebei Hongji Shunda Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer of prefabricated steel buildings. I spend my working life on one problem: getting a steel building built correctly, several thousand kilometres away from where it was designed.
Most of the people I work with are not steel specialists. They are food processors, logistics operators, cooperatives, mining companies and contractors who need a building, a schedule and someone who answers the phone.
02 / About
I look after the Africa and South America markets. Practically, that means reading a production requirement, having it engineered properly, and following it all the way to the container that arrives on site.
Hongji Shunda has been making steel buildings since 2000. Today we work from a 107,000 m² manufacturing base with six production workshops. Most of what goes wrong in an exported steel building is not the steel — it is a detail that was never resolved on paper before the container was loaded.
Buyers describe a business, not a structure. A food processor in Brazil needs a plant; a cooperative in Chile needs grain storage; a logistics operator in Mozambique needs a freight warehouse. My job is to turn that sentence into a building: span and column spacing, eave height, roof and wall system, crane and mezzanine provision, insulation strategy, and the corrosion protection that suits the local environment. Wind loading is calculated for the location of the project — never assumed, and never a figure picked because it sounds safe.
Our detailing is done in Tekla, so the drawings are clash-free before fabrication starts. Every part is marked and packed in a planned sequence, and first-time builders receive a 3D installation guide. I stay with the project through fabrication and shipment, and I would rather answer a difficult question early than explain a problem late.
I answer directly. If a design will not survive the local climate, I say so. If something is outside what we do well, I say that too. Clients in Africa and South America keep coming back for the same reason: what they were promised on the drawing is what stands on site.
05 / Why work with me
The person who specifies your building is the person who answers your messages.
Clash-free detailing before fabrication, so problems are solved on paper rather than on your construction site.
Parts are marked and packed in an assembly sequence, so unloading follows the same logic as erection.
If your team has never erected a steel building before, the guide shows the sequence step by step.
Cladding, insulation and corrosion protection are chosen per project, not copied from a template.
If a cheaper design will not survive your conditions, you hear that before you order — not after.
