High-rigidity modular framing designs configured for rapid local assembly across Tarawa and the outer Line Islands.
As a sprawling Pacific nation composed of 33 coral atolls and islands, Kiribati faces unique geographic and climatic parameters for structural engineering. Concrete-based construction is often impeded by local sand composition limits and high import costs for raw materials. Consequently, pre-engineered steel structure assembly workshops have emerged as the standard infrastructure solution.
Building in regions like South Tarawa, Betio, or Kiritimati (Christmas Island) demands structural frames capable of resisting the constant impact of saline sea spray, high relative humidity, and cyclonic tropical wind currents. Conventional steel materials degrade quickly under these conditions, making high-spec protective treatments mandatory.
Our steel structure systems are specifically calculated to support local requirements, prioritizing bolt-assembly mechanisms over on-site heavy welding. This configuration limits the dependency on specialized local construction machinery while drastically shrinking the total installation timeline on-site.
By using prefabricated components, global developers and local authorities can establish functional facilities—from marine fisheries warehouses to agricultural processing centers—efficiently and cost-effectively.
How our structures achieve decades-long service life in the demanding environment of the Kiribati archipelago.
We utilize hot-dip galvanization (minimum 600g/m²) coupled with epoxy primer and polyurethane finish coatings to prevent corrosive degradation caused by constant exposure to saltwater spray and high coastal humidity.
Engineered in compliance with Pacific building standards, featuring high-tensile structural frames designed to withstand structural pressure from extreme wind velocity and seasonal cyclones.
Our design eliminates complex field welding operations. Every component is pre-punched and drilled at our plant, allowing local contractors to execute assembly using heavy-duty structural bolts.
Established in 2011 in Hangzhou, China, Hangzhou PYO Homes Co., Ltd. has grown into a globally recognized leader in steel structure engineering and prefabricated construction. Over the last decade, we have optimized our supply chain to provide remote Pacific regions with precise, high-performance structural systems.
Operating with advanced CNC cutting arrays, automated multi-head welding setups, and continuous shot-blasting machines, we guarantee strict control over geometric tolerances and surface preparation quality. Our geographical proximity to the shipping ports of Ningbo and Shanghai enables streamlined shipping schedules directly targeting Pacific shipping lines.
We supply comprehensive assembly manuals, structural drawings, and installation layouts to ensure trouble-free clearance, logistics handling, and structural installation on-site.

Engineered solutions built to address specific municipal and commercial demands in Tarawa, Betio, and Kiritimati.
With marine resources driving Kiribati's economy, our steel buildings serve as fish processing plants and cold storage facilities, using polyurethane sandwich panels for temperature-controlled insulation.
Tailor-made large span portal frame structures featuring high clearances to house processing machinery, dry storage, and packaging lines for the local copra export sector.
High-strength structures erected near cargo terminals in Betio, configured to manage imported goods, custom clearances, and heavy machinery protection from maritime weathering.
Select from our certified range of steel frame workshop and warehouse structures, built for long-term durability in the Pacific.
Detailed end-to-end logistics solutions customized for remote Pacific destinations.
Shipping prefabricated structural frames to port facilities in South Tarawa or Christmas Island requires meticulous packaging. We flat-pack all structural profiles, columns, and rafters into Open Top or Heavy GP containers. Heavy main frames are strapped securely to prevent movement during long sea voyages, while secondary parts and fasteners are stored in weatherproof wooden cases to block moist sea air.
Understanding that local construction equipment and engineering personnel might be limited, PYO Homes delivers comprehensive installation drawings, step-by-step videos, and structural connection diagrams. For major commercial developments, we can provide remote video consultation or dispatch experienced engineers to coordinate structural erection and quality inspection on-site.

We use heavy-duty hot-dip galvanization with a zinc coating weight exceeding 600g/m². This is followed by a multi-layer paint system (epoxy primer + intermediate micaceous iron oxide paint + polyurethane topcoat) designed to meet ISO 12944 C5-M marine-grade corrosion specifications.
Yes. Every structure is customized based on local wind speeds (often engineered to resist up to 250 km/h gusts). We optimize structural steel thickness, rafter frames, and bracing designs to secure stability under wind loads common in the equatorial Pacific.
No. Our prefabricated workshop systems feature a bolt-assembly design. Every single joint is designed with pre-drilled connection plates. Assembly requires only standard mechanical tools and light lifting gear, making the installation highly efficient for local workforces.
Manufacturing takes between 30 to 45 days depending on the workshop's scale. Ocean transit times vary depending on the shipping line connections from Ningbo/Shanghai to Tarawa Port, usually taking between 35 to 55 days.
Certainly. We offer high-quality Polyurethane (PU) sandwich panels, rock wool panels, and insulated glass wool roof systems. These are ideal for fisheries, food warehouses, or workspaces that require HVAC cooling in tropical climates.
Yes. We can design and manufacture in strict compliance with AS/NZS 1170 loading codes, as well as AISC/ASTM standards, to ensure approval from local authorities and international development agencies.
