Project in brief : The plant has been set up on 20 acres of land at MIDC, Basmatnagar in Maharashtra state. The main plant building (2304sqm), which houses the main process machines like matforming, hydraulic hot press, trimming and sizing machine, sander, veneering machine etc. is 96m in length, 24m in width and 5.5m in height. The 24m span structural steel roof trusses, to supporting AC sheet roofing, are mounted on RCC columns. The trusses are generally spaced at 6m c/c; except for in one bay where, the long hood of hot press penetrates the roof, the spacing is 12m.
Adjoining the main plant building is the utility block , 84m long X 6m wide X 4m high. The entire block is in RCC and houses all the utilities like compressors, hydraulic power pack, electrical control room, engineering workshop and store etc. Glue kitchen, glue storage and management room also form part of utility block. The package chiller unit, cooling tower, fans and blowers, water storage tanks etc. are mounted over the utility block slab. Next to utility block are two nos. RCC silos, 4m dia.
