📐✨ Nhà xưởng đầu tiên tôi thiết kế – tôi đã phạm sai lầm… và học được điều quan trọng nhất

Tôi từng thiết kế một nhà xưởng 2.000m², mọi thứ trên bản vẽ đều “ổn”. Nhưng khi bắt tay thi công, mới vỡ ra nhiều điều:

🔸 Không hiểu rõ công năng vận hành thực tế = bố trí sai vị trí máy = thi công lại.

🔸 Không để sẵn móng chờ = khi mở rộng phải phá nền, rất tốn kém.

🔸 Không lường trước hướng gió = xưởng quá nóng, phải gắn thêm quạt sau khi vận hành.

💭 Từ đó, tôi nhận ra: thiết kế nhà xưởng phải xuất phát từ thực tế, từ người sử dụng, từ từng chiếc xe nâng, từng thói quen vận hành.

Nếu bạn làm nghề thiết kế hoặc từng trải qua cảm giác “vỡ bài”, bạn hiểu cảm giác đó như thế nào. Mình rất muốn nghe thêm câu chuyện từ bạn.

🌤 Just Another Day on a Site in Đồng Nai: Building factories in Đồng Nai

🧰 The sun burns down, machines rumble, and dust fills the air… but there’s something oddly poetic in watching bricks placed one by one with care.

✋ One day, our crew paused half a day to fix a small depression in the ground. No one complained. We all knew – that spot would bear tons of machinery later on.

🧠 Lessons don’t just come from manuals. They come from quiet decisions, careful corrections, and small cracks that teach big things.

❤️ Sometimes, construction isn’t just a job – it’s belief, patience, and a promise to every square meter we deliver.

Factory Construction in Binh Duong

[Note #346] – Days on Site in Binh Duong

The heat. The red soil. The drawings stacked high. But what stands out most are the subtle, yet meaningful shifts:

→ The investor said: "Please allow room in the design for future expansion." → The supervisor insisted: "Energy savings start with the pipe layout." → The supplier asked: "Any anti-crack material that’s eco-friendly?"

It’s 2025. It’s no longer about fast builds – it’s about smart, resilient, and purpose-driven construction.

Binh Duong is evolving – and so are we.

🔍 Factory Design in 2025 – 3 Key Takeaways from Vietnam’s New Standards

After completing dozens of industrial projects since 2024, here are my top 3 lessons when aligning with Vietnam’s updated 2025 codes:

1. Incorporate TCVN & QCVN from day one

– Architecture shouldn’t go ahead of technical planning. QCVN 01:2025/BXD requires careful coordination for height, airflow, and fire escape right at concept design.

2. Design for operations, not just for construction

– A well-designed layout can cut electricity, water, and maintenance costs by 20–30% annually. Sustainability is now a core industrial trend.

3. Use 3D modeling & BIM collaboration

– BIM significantly helps in technical coordination, cost estimation, and speeds up investor approval.

🧱 Some Factories Are Never Truly “Finished” — And That’s a Good Thing

One thing I’ve learned over years in this field: A factory is alive. It doesn’t stop evolving when construction ends. It grows with the business, changes with new production lines, and sometimes… needs healing.

Sometimes, minor upgrades — like expanding storage, improving airflow, or adding a backup power system — are more challenging than new builds, because they touch the reality of daily operations.

Every time I work on repairs or retrofits, I’m reminded of the value of listening — to the workers, to the engineers, even to the hum of machines running out of sync.

No one teaches you this in school. But the project will.

🧰 My Factory Maintenance Story – Don’t Let Small Issues Turn Into Big Problems!

Working in industrial engineering, I’ve seen how many factories in Vietnam overlook maintenance until it’s too late.

At first, it’s just peeling paint, dripping water, or flickering lights. A few months later: halted production, burnt cables, mold everywhere—costing hundreds of millions to fix.

💡 Quick tips: – Note unusual signs during daily operations – Create monthly/quarterly checklists – Focus on heat/moisture-prone areas – Always have professionals handle major work

👉 If you're in charge of a factory or work in technical teams—never let maintenance be your last priority!

Managing factory construction and maintenance

“Sometimes I sit alone in the factory at night after all the workers are gone, and it’s dead silent. I look at the pipes and cables running across the ceiling and remember every one of them came from trial and error. Once, we lost two days because of a missing pipe joint. But it’s from those moments that we learn deeply – both technically and humbly.”

design for maintenance factory

📷 A factory isn’t just concrete and steel…

Every time we finish a project, I ask myself: Will the technicians still feel comfortable maintaining this factory in 5 years?

🏗️ In one case, we forgot to design for maintenance access – and a few months later, electricians had to climb up and reopen cable trays just to replace a circuit breaker.

🎓 After 10+ projects, I realized: Good design isn’t what looks nice – it’s what makes daily operations easier.

🌧️ First Rain of the Season & a Factory Roof Story in Dong Nai

That day, the rain came early. We were inspecting an aging factory in Long Thanh—once a bustling production site for over a decade.

Climbing onto the roof, I saw rust marks and loose panels. Below, workers continued despite the water dripping onto machines…

It took us three full days to strengthen the steel frame, replace the roofing, fix the gutters, and inspect the electrical safety.

⚙️ Factory maintenance isn’t just about repairs—it’s about protecting lives.

And every drop of sweat from my crew is a mark of responsibility.

🛠️ Compressor Maintenance – A Technician’s Perspective from Dong Nai

I’ve serviced hundreds of compressors across Dong Nai’s industrial parks: Amata, Bien Hoa, Tam Phuoc… Not sharing to show off – just putting real experience into words.

✨ Some things aren’t in textbooks:

• If the compressor vibrates but doesn’t make loud noise, it might be worn rotor bearings.

• Slightly dark oil doesn’t always mean it’s bad – check viscosity and contaminants first.

• A stuck drain valve can ruin your receiver tank within days from internal rusting.

📌 We often use thermal cameras and vibration analyzers to catch invisible faults before breakdown.

Compressors seem simple – but understanding their condition is like knowing an old friend. Maintenance is more than just “cleaning.”

Electrical Systems in Dong Nai

Dong Nai. 5 A.M. The Day Starts from the Worksite.

We’re up before sunrise, lifting cable trays into the morning mist. Every bolt we tighten ensures safety for a future production line. No spotlight, no applause—just the quiet determination of electricians at work.

Some things don’t show up on blueprints���like the way our team leader encourages us under a scorching sun, or how we rotate lunch shifts on the scaffolding.

Electrical work isn’t glamorous. But it’s worth doing right.

“Cables and the 20 Days at Tam Phuoc Jobsite”

Sometimes, when you look at a completed electrical system, you realize: every cable tells a story of teamwork.

20 days at Tam Phuoc — dusty, noisy, full of heavy machinery and tangled wires. We split roles: someone on cable trays, others with panel wiring or grounding. Some nights went sleepless. Sudden rains drenched the site.

But it all came together — the system ran smoothly on the first load test.

That’s when you know: a sustainable electrical system isn’t just about tech specs — it’s about the craftsmanship and care in every detail.

Chiller Repair

📍 Yesterday's story: repairing a chiller under the midday sun in Dong Nai.

Our team tackled a 30HP chiller showing a strange error. Sweat dripping, hands full of wires—we opened it up to find moisture marks on the control board. Well, it’s been raining for days.

Turns out, we didn’t need fancy tools. Just a test pen, a small heat blower, and a bit of experience.

💬 That moment when the machine came back to life—it purred like a cat. After a decade in the trade, each successful fix still brings joy like the first.

📌 Note to self: Always protect control boards—moisture can be deadlier than high voltage.

🔩 Một ngày bên chiếc máy nén khí cũ kỹ…

🧓 “Hồi mới lắp chạy êm lắm, giờ nó thở khò khè như cụ già vậy…” – anh chủ xưởng kể.

🧼 Mình nhẹ nhàng tháo từng chi tiết, lau từng vết dầu, nghe tiếng máy thở như người bạn cũ.

❤️ Làm nghề kỹ thuật, có những ngày chẳng cần nhiều hào nhoáng – chỉ cần máy chạy êm, khách hài lòng, mình thấy vui.

🌱 Có người gọi kỹ thuật là khô khan, mình thấy nó sống động – vì mỗi máy móc là một câu chuyện.

Một ngày kết thúc chậm, nhưng công trình lại hoàn thành sớm hơn 2 ngày

Có những buổi tối mình ngồi lại nơi công trình đã hoàn thành, nhìn dãy tủ điện đã lắp gọn, dây đã vào nếp. Tự dưng thấy nhẹ lòng.

Dự án thi công hệ thống điện cho nhà xưởng này bắt đầu bằng những bản vẽ nguệch ngoạc trên giấy nháp. Chúng mình cùng chủ đầu tư chỉnh sửa từng thông số, từng vị trí ổ cắm để đảm bảo sau này công nhân vận hành thuận tiện nhất.

Có lúc mưa đổ ào vào xưởng chưa kịp lợp mái, có lúc cả đội phải làm đêm để kịp tiến độ, nhưng cuối cùng, khi dòng điện đầu tiên được thử tải mà không lỗi – cảm giác ấy thật sự khó tả.

Có thể đây chỉ là một công trình nhỏ với nhiều người, nhưng với bọn mình – đó là một hành trình mang dòng điện đến sự vận hành, từ bản vẽ thành hơi thở của nhà máy.

Chiller In Dong Nai

🌫️ The chiller that threw a tantrum at 40°C

At a packaging factory, during a peak delivery crunch, the main chiller suddenly went... silent. No familiar humming. The entire floor froze – and not the good kind.

We were called in under the scorching sun. Diagnosis: blocked gas filter due to dust, oil, and... 18 months of being ignored.

After 5 sweaty hours and some serious wrench action, we got it smiling again. The moment cold air blew out, the whole team cheered like they’d won the lottery.

💡 Machines have moods too – neglect them, and they’ll “act out.”

Designing factory ventilation in Đồng Nai

🌬️ One hot afternoon in Long Thành, Đồng Nai, I watched a team of factory workers give up halfway through their shift.

🛠️ That was my turning point. I knew: ventilation is not an option – it's a necessity.

Here’s how we turned things around:

🔁 Upgraded to industrial-grade roof fans 🌀 Installed low-position fresh air vents 🔇 Used sound-insulated ductwork 🧼 Added dust filters for clean circulation

⚡ Result? 6°C cooler. Continuous airflow. Workers stayed focused.

Ventilation is more than a system. It’s the breath of your workplace.
