MARKET 07 · CENTRAL ASIA
Kazakhstan: the heaviest standard snow case we quote.
Almaty and the northern regions carry snow loads that force a different arch and a tighter spacing. This is the market where a light reference configuration is most likely to be wrong.
When snow governs, three things change together: the arch wall, the arch spacing, and the purlin. Buyers sometimes upgrade the arch and leave the purlin spacing alone, which moves the weak point rather than removing it.
| Item | If snow governs | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Arch | 40×80 or 40×90, 2.5 mm | cost step |
| Arch spacing | 1.0 m, not 1.2 m | more arches |
| Purlin | closer spacing, deeper profile | fixing line |
| Anchors | frost-depth aware | length and type |
| Coating | hot-dip | freeze-thaw + condensation |
Freeze-thaw is hard on any coating at a scratch. Hot-dip after fabrication is the specification that survives an inspection after two winters, and it is the line we would argue for in this market.
Do not copy a reference configuration
The reference configurations on this site are shapes, not designs. In a heavy snow market they are a starting point for a conversation with your engineer, nothing more.
