Special Projects
Custom Applications Beyond Standard Solutions
Special projects cover works that require a project-specific approach because standard building and implementation solutions are not sufficient due to site conditions, intended use, technical requirements, or architectural expectations.
Each project is evaluated by considering the existing conditions, usage scenario, structural system, material selection, production method, installation conditions, and long-term operational requirements together.
The process is managed comprehensively through needs analysis, site survey, concept development, technical design, custom fabrication, on-site implementation, inspection, and handover stages.
What Is a Special Project?
A special project is a customized solution developed when a requirement cannot be met through ready-made or standard systems and therefore requires dedicated design, engineering, fabrication, and implementation processes.
Depending on the scope of the project, the following works may be carried out:
- Custom architectural applications
- Project-specific steel structures
- Custom structural systems
- Machinery and equipment platforms
- Technical maintenance platforms
- Walkways
- Custom staircase systems
- Steel mezzanines
- Canopies and shelters
- Custom façade solutions
- Light gauge steel structures
- Modular structures
- Custom enclosure systems
- Technical spaces
- Production area revisions
- Industrial site arrangements
- Existing building adaptations
- Mixed-material custom applications
- Prototype and one-off fabrications

Integrates Different Disciplines
Architectural design, steel fabrication, mechanical, electrical, and on-site works can be coordinated within a single project.
Improves Space Utilization
Unused or inefficient areas within an existing building can be converted into usable spaces through platforms, mezzanines, technical rooms, or other custom solutions.

Special Project Development Process
Each project is handled individually according to the nature of the requirement, existing site conditions, technical needs, and constructability criteria.
1. Needs Analysis
The problem to be solved, intended use, technical expectations, and main project objectives are identified.
2. Site Survey
Site dimensions, existing structures, equipment layouts, elevations, connection points, and working conditions are examined.
3. Technical Assessment
The structural system, loads, space limitations, installation possibilities, and integration options with the existing building are evaluated.
4. Concept Solution Development
Different design and implementation alternatives suitable for the requirement are developed.
5. Technical Project Planning
The selected solution is developed through dimensions, profile and material selection, connections, details, and fabrication drawings.
6. Production Planning
Components to be manufactured, production sequence, materials, and required special processes are determined.
7. Custom Fabrication
Steel, sheet metal, profiles, and other project components are cut, processed, and assembled according to technical drawings.
8. Surface and Finishing Processes
Depending on project requirements, painting, galvanizing, cladding, insulation, or other finishing processes are applied.
9. On-Site Installation
Fabricated components are delivered to the site and installed in accordance with the existing building or the new structural system.
10. Final Inspection and Handover
Dimensions, connections, stability, usage conditions, and overall workmanship quality are inspected before the system is handed over ready for use.
Special Projects in Industrial Facilities
In industrial facilities, standard solutions may often be insufficient because of existing production layouts, machinery arrangements, or technical requirements.
In such projects, production processes and site operations are evaluated in detail.
The following applications can be developed:
- Machinery platforms
- Conveyor support systems
- Technical maintenance platforms
- Operator access routes
- High-level access systems
- Tank and silo platforms

- Support structures for new production lines
- Existing line modifications
- Warehouse and logistics area arrangements
- Protective structural systems
Custom Applications Around Machinery and Equipment
In production facilities, areas around machinery and equipment are often not compatible with standard building dimensions.
When developing solutions for these areas, the following are evaluated together:
