Soboce - Raw Materials Warehouse

Height: 30 meters
Magnitude: 58 meters of span, 9,000 square meters
Use: Industrial
Construction: Soboce S.A.
Location: La Paz - Bolivia: La Paz - Bolivia
We participated in the expansion of the Viacha cement production plant, a large-scale multiple project. Our team was responsible for the design of several areas, including a metal roof for the raw materials warehouse, conveyor belt systems, stacker, reclaimer and retaining walls..
 
The jewel of this extension is undoubtedly the metal roof, a structure remarkable for its engineering and dimensions. Built with 15 tri-articulated metal frames, this roof has a hyperbolic cosine guideline, with a span of 58 meters, a length of 156 meters and a height of 30 meters, covering an area of approximately 9,000 m². It is so large that it could house a soccer field without any problems!
 
The complete structure weighs 450 tons.
 
We are proud to have contributed to this project and to continue to be at the forefront of Bolivian engineering.
