Agarwal Glass - Industrial Manufacturing Facility | Sitapura, Jaipur
The Agarwal Glass factory located in Ramchandrapura, Sitapura is a specifically designed manufacturing facility that is built around the demands for industrial processing of glass. It covers 15,000 square feet. The structure incorporates an engineering steel construction system that provides an unobstructed and heavy-load-capable work space that can support high-volume production and long-term stability. This facility is built using advanced Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) solutions, ensuring faster construction and long-term structural reliability.
From the beginning the design brief demanded clear internal spans, a robust machine, natural ventilation and an efficient flow of material through every step of the production. The client required more than a simple shed; they wanted an infrastructure that could support an expanding manufacturing business over the future two decades.
The location of a strategic advantage
Sitapura Industrial Area is among Rajasthan's oldest manufacturing zones. It has access to the most important logistical corridors, a highly skilled industrial workforce and a close proximity with major suppliers of glass in the region. Ramchandrapura located within Sitapura offers home to huge contiguous plots- perfect for the footprint with a clear span required by a glass manufacturing facility.

How did we build it?
Construction timetable
Phase 1. Assessment of the site and ground preparation
Geotechnical studies and tests on the capacity of soil bearings informed on the layout of foundation. The site was graded, compacted and mapped for the routes of vehicle circulation loading zones, vehicle circulation routes, and stormwater drainage channels prior to when any work on the structure began.
Phase 2- Structural design & engineering
PEB frame was designed for clear-span performance, maximizing usable floor area without intermediate columns. The primary members were designed to handle dead, live loads, wind or seismic loadings. HSFG connection bolts were used all over the place to ensure joint accuracy along with long-term stability.
Phase 3- Fabrication & on-site erection
Steel components were manufactured using advanced steel structure fabrication techniques in a controlled workshop environment, using the CNC machine and automatic welding. after which they were shot-blasted and then coated prior to the dispatch. On the job, cranes lifted and plumbed every frame in a sequence, and alignment checked at every stage before final bolting.
Phase 4: Envelope fit-out, the roof, walls and vents
Galvalume roofing and cladding systems with integrated skylight panels were used to regulate the light and temperature. Metal cladding panels surrounded the perimeter, and ridge and turbo vents were set across the roof's ridge for continuous airflow -- crucial in glass-processing environments.
What's in the structure
Each material used in this project was selected for efficiency, not just price. This is a look at the main manufacturing and materials which make this manufacturing facility durable.
IS-standard structural steel that has been verified to have yield strength, which is used in all rafters, columns, purlins and girts. Sizes of sections and thicknesses were calculated according to the specific demands for load; there was no over-specification and no under-building.
Color-coated Galvalume (55 percent aluminium-zinc alloy) has superior resistance to corrosion in comparison to standard galvanized sheets. Tested for adhesion to coating, thickness uniformity.
Every structural piece of steel shot-blasted until SA 2.5 surface cleanliness prior to the two-coat epoxy primer and finish with polyurethane was applied.
Workshop fabrication utilized CNC plasma cutting as well as semi-automatic welding to ensure precision within +-1mm across all parts. The quality of the welding was examined visually according to IS 9595 prior to dispatch to the job site.
The High Strength Friction Grip bolts were utilized for all secondary and primary joints. Torque was applied using calibrated wrenches. Final values of torque were recorded for each connection on the structural erection records.
Standards continue to be maintained throughout
Safety and quality were not an end-of-project checklist, but were integrated into every phase of the project, from construction handover to ground preparation.
All structural steel, fasteners and cladding components were procured with test certificates confirming the coating thickness, grade, along with mechanical property. The fabrication yard without being inspected for conformance.
The dedicated QC inspections were conducted at the foundation fortification, steel construction secondary member installation, and roofing stage. Any non-conformities were noted, rectified and then re-inspected before the next stage began.
The full PPE requirement was a requirement for all on-site personnel, which included hard hats safety harnesses to work at height, as well as steel-toe shoes. Every day, toolbox discussions were conducted prior to shift starts and the area was delineated by safety barriers all through the installation phase.
The design and construction of the structural structure was based on specific IS codes, including IS 800 in general steel construction, IS 875 for load standards as well as IS 1893 for seismic design. All drawings were created by a professional structural engineer.
What is this factory able to provide?
The Agarwal Glass factory in Sitapura is a perfect example of what intelligent PEB industrial construction can accomplish when precision engineering and practical design come together. A 15,000 square feet facility that is designed to support production for a long time and on time, to specification and constructed to last. Every bolt is torqued, every weld checked, every piece of equipment tested and certified. That's what an industrial facility should look like.
