The Iranian Garden at Iran Mall, also known as the Great Iran Market, is one of the complex’s distinctive architectural spaces. The project combines elements inspired by traditional Persian gardens with modern engineering and construction methods. Creating such a space requires more than an attractive architectural concept; it also depends on a strong, precise and carefully installed structural system.
Deniz Alvand Afagh Company, operating as part of Khakpour Technical and Engineering Group, was responsible for the fabrication, transportation and installation of the steel structure for the five main trusses of the Iranian Garden. These trusses form an essential part of the project’s structural framework and were manufactured and assembled in accordance with the site conditions and project requirements.
Scope of Work
The main scope of this project included three interconnected stages:
- Fabrication of the steel components for five main trusses
- Transportation of the fabricated structure to the Iran Mall project site
- Assembly and installation of the trusses in their designated positions
Each stage required accurate planning and coordination. Since large steel trusses consist of multiple components, their fabrication and installation must follow a defined sequence. Even minor inconsistencies in dimensions, connection points or assembly order can affect the installation process and the final structural alignment.
For this reason, the steel elements were prepared with close attention to fabrication accuracy, connection details and installation requirements. The transportation process was also planned to protect the components and ensure they arrived at the site in suitable condition for assembly.
Fabrication of the Five Main Steel Trusses
The fabrication of the five main trusses was one of the most important parts of the Iranian Garden project. Steel trusses are commonly used where a structure needs to span a considerable distance while maintaining strength and stability. Their triangular arrangement allows structural loads to be distributed efficiently between the different members.
During fabrication, the steel sections were cut, prepared, positioned and connected based on the approved technical details. Accurate fabrication was particularly important because the truss components had to align correctly during on-site assembly.
The quality of welds, connection points and the overall geometry of each truss directly influenced the success of the next stages. The fabrication process was therefore carried out with attention to both structural performance and ease of installation.
Transportation to the Iran Mall Site
Moving large steel components from the fabrication area to the construction site is a specialised operation. The dimensions, weight and geometry of truss elements must be considered when selecting the transportation method and arranging the components for delivery.
For the Iranian Garden project, the fabricated steel elements were prepared for safe transportation to Iran Mall. The loading and delivery sequence was coordinated with the planned installation process so that the required parts could be accessed and assembled efficiently upon arrival.
Proper transportation management helps prevent damage, deformation and unnecessary handling. It also supports a more organised installation process and reduces delays caused by incorrectly sequenced deliveries.
Assembly and Installation of the Steel Trusses
After delivery, the truss components were assembled and installed at their designated locations. This stage required careful coordination between the installation team, lifting equipment and site management.
Before lifting, the assembled sections were checked for correct dimensions, connection quality and structural alignment. The trusses were then positioned according to the project drawings and fixed to their supporting points.
The installation process required continuous control of levels, axes and connection locations. Temporary supports and installation measures were used where necessary to maintain stability until the permanent connections were completed.
The before-and-after project images clearly demonstrate the transformation of the site. They show how individual steel components were gradually assembled into an integrated structural framework that supports the architectural vision of the Iranian Garden.
The Importance of Precision in Steel Structure Installation
Precision is essential in every steel structure project, but it becomes even more important when several large trusses must work together as part of a coordinated system. An error in the position of one member can influence adjoining connections and create difficulties during the installation of other components.
Accurate measurements, controlled fabrication and careful site execution helped ensure that the five main trusses were installed in their intended positions. The coordination between workshop fabrication and on-site assembly also reduced the need for extensive modifications during installation.
This integrated approach improves execution quality, supports structural reliability and contributes to the timely completion of the project.
A Combination of Engineering and Professional Execution
The Iranian Garden project at Iran Mall reflects the connection between architectural identity and modern structural engineering. While the visible space is inspired by the character of Persian gardens, its construction depends on a carefully designed and accurately executed steel framework.
The fabrication, transportation and installation of the five main steel trusses demonstrate the technical capabilities of Deniz Alvand Afagh Company and Khakpour Technical and Engineering Group in managing complex steel structure projects.
From the preparation of individual steel members to their final positioning at the project site, every stage required technical knowledge, experienced personnel and effective coordination. The completed structure provides a reliable foundation for the architectural and finishing works that define the final appearance of the Iranian Garden.
Project Summary
