Ajin USA – Joon Georgia EV Plant: Industrial Steel Detailing Case Study

Project Overview

A 1,932-ton EV plant detailed across 135 controlled sequences


Ajin USA’s Joon Georgia EV Plant is a large-format industrial facility in Georgia — a 1,106 ft × 800 ft battery-stamping plant with distinct Press and Office areas. Moldtek handled the industrial steel detailing scope: 1,932 tons of main and secondary steel plus a high volume of panel embeds, broken into 135 detailing and erection sequences so the plant could be modeled, reviewed, and released package by package. The engagement ran fast-track on a compressed 15-week schedule and produced 225 erection drawings, with the steel continuously coordinated against precast, panel, joist, and mechanical trades via our structural steel detailing team.

The Challenge

Fast-track steel across trades, embeds and production zones


The complication on the Joon Georgia EV Plant was never a single tall structure. It was scale, on the clock — a 1,106 × 800 ft industrial plant, a large volume of panel embeds, and continuous coordination with precast, panel, joist, and mechanical systems, all compressed into a 15-week fast-track programme.

Panel embeds

A large quantity of panel embeds had to be detailed and integrated, each one an interface between the steel and the enclosure system.

Pre-cast and panel coordination

Trade conditions required close, continuous alignment with the precast and panel teams so embed locations and framing matched.

Joist coordination

Joist-package interfaces influenced sequencing and framing decisions, so the steel couldn’t be finalized in isolation.

Mechanical interfaces

Mechanical routing and equipment requirements fed directly into the detailing coordination.

Drawing volume

A 225-drawing erection package demanded structured QA/QC and strict release discipline to stay on schedule.

Moldtek’s Approach

One large-format plant, 135 controlled sequences


  • 135 sequenced packages

    The facility was divided into 135 detailing and erection sequences across the Press and Office zones — the single decision that kept a fast-track programme controllable.

  • Embeds and steel detailed in order

    Main steel, secondary steel, and panel embeds were detailed inside that sequenced structure, so each trade interface was resolved in a controlled order rather than all at once at the end.

  • Multi-trade interface coordination

    Interfaces with the precast, panel, joist, and mechanical trades were coordinated and clashes resolved sequence by sequence.

  • QA/QC release discipline

    Erection drawings and reports were quality-checked before release, keeping 225 drawings moving through review without becoming a bottleneck.

Execution Timeline

15 weeks, released across 135 sequences


Because the model was sequenced into 135 packages, detailing progress stayed visible sequence by sequence — the client could see exactly what was modeled, checked, and ready for release at any point across the 15 weeks.

Tools & Standards

Fabrication-ready output for a high-volume industrial package


The plant was detailed on Moldtek’s standard toolchain and delivered against US structural codes, so fabrication, erection, and multi-trade coordination all worked from the same clean release.

The Outcome

Model clarity fabrication and erection could build from


Model clarity and sequence discipline translated a high-volume industrial steel package into coordinated deliverables that support fabrication, erection planning, and multi-trade coordination.

Why it worked

“On a plant this size, the win wasn’t drawing steel — it was combining sequence control, embed coordination, and multi-trade collaboration so a fast-track project stayed buildable and its drawings released on schedule.”
