The African Story of Quanzhou RIDGE

The African story of Quanzhou RIDGE

Did you know? At this very moment, the team of RIDGE is simultaneously installing a total of 20,000 square meters of steel structure factories in Uganda and Tanzania. 

In Uganda, the main frame of a large workshop that is 60 meters wide and 160 meters long has been firmly erected. 

In Tanzania, the installation of color steel plates for a 10,000-square-meter project has been fully completed. 

This is not our first overseas installation case in Africa - from the installation in Kenya in 2013 to countries like Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Malawi and Tanzania, we have provided on-site guidance for installation and ensured that every project is solidly implemented. 

It can be said that Africa is one of the overseas markets we are most familiar with and at the core of.

What did we do in Africa?

From Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in East Africa, to Ghana, Cote d 'Ivoire and Senegal in West Africa, and then to Zambia, Mozambique and Angola in the south... We have long-term implemented projects in over ten countries. Most of these projects are steel-structured buildings of industrial plants, equipment workshops and large farms. We understand the climate, standards and construction habits of different regions, which is why our buildings can be so adapted to the local needs of Africa.

The several questions you are most concerned about, I will answer directly to you:

Could you send someone to guide the installation? 

Sure, this is precisely our core service.

As long as the project requires it, we will dispatch 1 to 2 experienced engineers from China to provide on-site technical guidance and construction management throughout the process. We need your local assistance in arranging the engineers' accommodation, meals, local transportation and insurance. 

Our goal is to provide professional guidance directly to the construction site, ensure installation quality, and avoid any losses caused by improper installation.

When will the engineer be there?

The time is very flexible and fully suits your pace.

Usually, when your goods are completed and about to arrive at the destination port, our engineers will set off for the site simultaneously. They can start guiding from the most basic stage of foundation pre-burial until the entire project is installed. You can choose to provide full guidance throughout the process or just let us guide you until the main structure installation is completed - we will cooperate in the most convenient and cost-effective way.

Do I have to buy the full set from you? 

No, we offer the most flexible procurement plan.

We fully understand that you need to control costs. You can first compare prices with local suppliers or other suppliers, and then entrust us with the most difficult or least cost-effective parts. We are very confident in the quality of our steel structure products, which are stable and reliable. Even if you only purchase a portion, we can still provide you with professional cargo consolidation and container loading services, helping you make the most of every space in the container and save on sea freight costs.

Customers often say that choosing RIDGE is not just about buying steel, but also a set of "peace of mind" - from design, production, sea transportation, to on-site installation guidance, we take care of everything from start to finish.

If you are planning a steel structure project in Africa (or anywhere else), please feel free to contact us at any time. You can send us your initial ideas or drawings, and we will offer you a professional suggestion and a practical quotation. You are also welcome to visit our completed projects around the world in person and see our craftsmanship with your own eyes.
