The site
The land is laid out as a campus around a 9-metre main road. First comes Factory A, a 60 m × 27.4 m pre-engineered steel building, with the office, canteen, utility buildings and security it needs to run. Land beside it is kept for two more factory blocks as the unit grows, along with a staff dormitory and an open-space reserve of about a third of an acre.
