Layout of Precast Concrete Component Production Plants in Bangkok Metropolitan Region

Abstract

          This article was submitted as the partial fulfillment for thesis entitled PLANT LAYOUT OF PRECAST CONCRETE COMPONENT PRODUCTION PLANTS IN BANGKOK METROPOLITAN REGION under Master of Architecture Program in Architectural Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. The objective of this study was to study the precast concrete production plant layout by studying the physical data of the plants, the area usage ratio, production process and production process relationship.
          The researchers selected the plants in Bangkok Metropolitan Region to be studied by considering the time when the precast concrete parts were produced in Thailand (1994) until the researching year (2020). The studied plants were 1. Seacon Construction System. 2. Dreamland Property. 3. C-post. and 4. PKprecast. The researchers did the fieldwork to collect the data by surveying, recording, measuring and interviewing the project’s related to arrange factory layout, section, production process, space ratio then analyzed the layout of precast concrete plants. This article is an analysis of the physical data of the factory. Not including the specific production information of each factory
          From the study on sample plants and analysis process, it was found that there was similar layout of the precast concrete plants which was 2 commuting channels circulating around the plants. The 2 height layouts in concordance with the production process, cranes used in the plants and 4 types of area ratio which were production area, warehouse area, street and other areas. The study found that the ratio of those 4 types were 24: 12: 49: 15 respectively.
