Yantian Port Cold Chain Service Warehouse Project
After project completion, the 12m×12m large-span layout effectively reduced the number of internal columns, enhancing flexibility in rack arrangement and meeting the diverse storage needs of port cold chain transit operations. The 64m structural height of this high-rise cold storage facility was among the highest for similar completed projects in China at the time, validating the engineering applicability of large-span post-tensioned flat slab systems in high-rise cold chain buildings.

On completion, the post-tensioned wide shallow beam scheme met the structural safety requirements for heavy loads while providing the structural space the automated racking system needed. Racking installation proceeded according to the coordinated design, with no rework caused by conflicts between the structure and the racking layout. Compared with a conventional beam-and-slab frame, the storey height was reduced by about 500mm; compared with a flat slab, punching shear risk at the column heads is easier to control and structural safety is higher. The design passed structural review and removed the owner's concerns about structural safety. The project offers a reference for newly built cold storage with heavy floor loads and high clear-height requirements, balancing structural safety and clear height. The post-tensioned wide shallow beam scheme suits cold chain projects where floor loads are heavy, the punching shear margin of a flat slab is insufficient and clear height matters, as well as smart cold storage that must match automated racking precisely.

The large-span post-tensioned flat slab system effectively reduced the number of internal columns on each floor, improving rack layout flexibility for multiple temperature zones and enhancing warehouse management efficiency. The floor height advantage of the post-tensioned flat slab system, compounded across 12 stories, positively impacted overall building height and volumetric efficiency.

The cold stores completed structural construction and acceptance in phases. The long-span post-tensioned flat slab solution reduced column count and increased effective storage capacity in each store, achieving the planned overall storage density. Uniform standards across the 8 stores simplify maintenance.

After commissioning, the workshop floor maintained good integrity over years of operation, with no significant cracking or joint deterioration. Dust accumulation was notably reduced compared to conventional jointed floors, meeting the high hygiene standards of cigarette manufacturing. Maintenance frequency was effectively lowered, reducing production downtime caused by floor repairs and positively impacting continuous production.

Post-completion, under the -60°C operating environment, the post-tensioned structure and BICP-ST anchorage system have maintained stable performance through subsequent periodic inspections. The large-span column layout effectively reduces internal columns, improving racking layout for national reserve goods and enhancing warehouse management efficiency.

Upon completion, the owner compared Phase II (B4, B5) with Phase I. The 12 m × 10 m large-span scheme reduced the number of internal columns by over 60% for the same floor area, increased usable storage volume by approximately 40%, and significantly improved rack layout flexibility and forklift maneuverability. Compared to traditional waffle slab systems, the structural depth of each floor was significantly reduced, lowering the effective refrigerated volume and positively impacting operational energy consumption. The project received the First Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress from the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing and the Sichuan Civil Engineering Li Bing Award, recognizing its engineering value.
