We hadto do a lot of study aboutfactory layouts and designs.Another problem we faced

before construction was thatthe soil condition of the sitewas too soft. We then cameup with an economicalsolution by piling foundationon top of the soil to ensure asafe ground.During theproject, we had problemsworking with the because allthe manuals were inmandarin because themachines were from China.We had to take our time totranslate and extract asmuch information about the
