Project snapshot
Project challenge
During the COVID-19 emergency, a fully operational 32-bed military hospital was needed from excavation to readiness in under 50 days, requiring full EPC coordination.
- Schedule overrun beyond 50-day target
- Coordination failures across EPC disciplines
- Envelope weather protection delays
- Internal partition installation bottlenecks
Engineering decision
SIPANEL delivered the complete project scope including engineering, shop drawings, excavation, construction, sandwich panel envelope, internal partitions, and full installation readiness.
Engineering teams coordinated full EPC delivery — from excavation and structural construction to sandwich panel envelope, internal partitions, and final readiness — within an emergency timeline.
Selected system logic placeholder for Sandwich Panel Systems.
Coordination note pending verified shop drawings, procurement files, and site notes.

Ahvaz Airport Passenger Terminal
Ahvaz, Iran
- Challenge
- The main challenge was the curved front architectural feature, where the covering had to be bent in a perpendicular direction, making the execution technically difficult.
- Engineering decision
- Custom execution detailing, geometric control of the curved form, and precise coordination between substructure, aluminium panels, and ZIP-TECH system.
- Result
- Successful execution of 4,000 m² of ZIP-TECH and aluminium cladding while preserving the curved architectural form and final visual quality.
Mehrabad Airport Aircraft Hangar
Tehran, Iran
- Challenge
- The main challenge was the severe curvature of the structure and the need for accurate sandwich panel installation over a continuous curved geometry.
- Engineering decision
- Precise coordination between the space frame, substructure, and panel installation sequence to preserve the curved form and avoid visual breaks.
- Result
- Successful execution of 5,000 m² of sandwich panel covering while maintaining the geometric continuity of the curved surface.
Mahshahr Taxi Parking Facility
Bandar Mahshahr, Khuzestan, Iran
- Challenge
- A coastal parking facility required sandwich panel coordination, controlled rainwater drainage, waterproofing continuity, and corrosion-resistant detailing.
- Engineering decision
- Engineering teams optimized drainage slopes, gutter positioning, downspout coordination, and sandwich panel alignment.
- Result
- A durable sandwich panel roofing system was delivered with reliable rainwater management, long-term weather protection, and controlled drainage performance.
Kermanshah Industrial University Petroleum Faculty
Kermanshah, Iran
- Challenge
- The key challenge was designing facade connections so that structural movement during earthquakes would not damage or break the glass panels.
- Engineering decision
- Connection details were engineered to accommodate relative structural displacement and reduce stress transfer to the glass facade.
- Result
- Successful execution of approximately 1,000 m² of glass facade, which reportedly performed without glass damage during the Kermanshah earthquake in the 1390s Solar Hijri decade.
