HEIGHT STANDARDS IN FACTORY - INDUSTRIAL FACTORY CONSTRUCTION
In the field of factory construction, accurately determining height standards plays an extremely important role, directly affecting production efficiency, labor safety and overall aesthetics of the project. This article will provide you with detailed information about factory height standards for each industry, along with important notes to keep in mind when choosing the appropriate height:
1. Some important height measurements to consider
1.1. Clearance height
Clear height is the distance from the factory floor to the lowest point of the beam or roof:
- The clear height of the factory ranges from 7-10 meters.
- Directly affects the ability to move machinery, equipment, trucks, and goods in the factory.
- The minimum clear height required depends on each type of industry.
1.2. Roof peak height
Roof peak height is the distance from the factory floor to the highest point of the roof: Roof peak height ranges from 9.8 - 14 meters. Affects drainage, ventilation, and factory capacity. Needs to be designed to suit the climatic conditions and aesthetic requirements of the project.
1.3. Door height
Door height is the distance from the factory floor to the bottom edge of the door:
- Need to ensure enough for trucks, forklifts, and workers to easily enter and exit the factory.
- Need to match the size of machinery and equipment used in the factory - workshop.
1.4. Handrail height
Handrail height is the distance from the floor to the top edge of the handrail:
- Need to ensure safety for workers when working at height.
- Minimum specified in labor safety standards.
1.5. Ventilation system height
Ventilation system height is the distance from the factory floor to the air inlet or exhaust door:
- It is necessary to ensure good air circulation in the factory - factory.
- Needs to be consistent with the system's capacity and the aesthetic requirements of the project.
Besides, in factory construction, there are also some other height measurements such as machine base height, shelf height, stair height, etc. These height measurements need to be designed to suit the needs. use and ensure safety for workers.

3. The importance of factory height standards
Factory height standards play an important role in ensuring the safety, efficiency and aesthetics of the project, specifically as follows:
(Illustration)
3.1. Minimize the risk of falls
Reasonable factory height helps limit the risk of falling from height, especially during construction, repair, and maintenance work. The application of safety measures such as railings, safety nets, and safety belts becomes even more effective when construction height is controlled.
3.2. Improved vision
The height when building a factory is high enough to help workers have better visibility, thereby minimizing the risk of collision with machinery, equipment, or other obstacles.

3.3. Create ventilation conditions
Appropriate height helps create good ventilation in workshops and factories, contributing to improving the quality of the working environment, minimizing the risk of suffocation due to lack of oxygen or accumulation of toxic gases.
3.4. Limit noise
The height when building a factory can help reduce noise from outside, create a quieter working environment, and protect the hearing health of workers.
3.5. Make the most of the area
High construction height helps increase usable space, creating conditions for arranging more machinery, equipment, production lines, or storing goods.
3.6. Improve air circulation
Higher construction heights help better air circulation, facilitate heat exchange, and reduce heat, especially important for industries that use furnaces, boilers, or other other heat source.
3.7. Easy installation and maintenance
Reasonable construction height makes installation and maintenance of machinery and equipment easier and more convenient, saving time and costs.
3.8. Increase aesthetics
- Appropriate construction height contributes to creating a beautiful, modern overall architecture for industrial parks and factories.
- A factory with a balanced height in harmony with the surrounding landscape will create a good impression and attract everyone's attention.

4. Detailed steps to determine height standards in factory construction
Step 1: Determine the type of industry
Each industry has its own characteristics in terms of production processes, machinery and equipment used, and working environmental conditions. Therefore, factory height standards also need to be adjusted to suit each industry.
For example, the mechanical manufacturing industry needs higher factory heights than the textile industry due to the use of larger sized machinery and equipment.
Step 2: Assess production scale
Large production scale requires more spacious factory area, therefore higher construction height is needed to meet space needs.
It is necessary to determine the number of products, output, and expected capacity of machinery and equipment to evaluate production scale.
Step 3: Determine technology characteristics
Some production technologies require the use of large-sized machinery and equipment or require a well-ventilated space to operate. Therefore, the factory height needs to be designed to suit the characteristics of these types of machinery and equipment.
For example, the automobile manufacturing industry needs higher factory heights than the garment industry due to the use of automatic assembly lines with large robots.
Step 4: Determine safety factors
Construction height should ensure worker safety, including limiting the risk of falls, providing good ventilation, and minimizing noise.
Refer to regulations on labor safety in industrial activities to determine specific requirements for factory height.
Step 5: Refer to regulations and standards
Refer to regulations and standards on factory construction height prescribed by law and Vietnamese construction practices:
- TCVN 5001:2007 – Vietnam Construction Code – Houses and industrial buildings;
- Vietnamese construction practices – Industrial factory design regulations.
Step 6: Choose the appropriate construction height
Based on the information collected in the above steps, choose the appropriate construction height for your factory.
It is necessary to ensure that the construction height meets all requirements for type of industry, production scale, technological characteristics, safety, and aesthetics.
Step 7: Consult experts
You should consult experts on industrial factory design to get the most optimal solution. Experts with experience and expertise will help you choose the appropriate construction height, ensuring safety, efficiency and cost savings.
By performing the above steps in a detailed and scientific manner, you can determine the factory height standard suitable for your project or contact Hung Nghiep Phu immediately to easily create a project. safe, effective and aesthetic.
