5 applications of steel structure in modern factory construction

08-09-2022

Currently, most investment owners or businesses are applying steel structures to construction factories and buildings because of the outstanding properties that this kind of material brings. Today, let's explore with BMB Steel the outstanding applications of pre-engineered steel buildings in factory construction below.

1. Advantages of steel structures in construction

  • Bearing capacity of steel structure

The steel structure is exceedingly solid with the combination of beams, braces, and columns. In addition, the steel structure is considered more stable and resistant than the wall structure.

  • Application of flexible steel structure in construction

With the hardness and toughness of steel, the pre-engineered structures have many diverse shapes, suitable for each project location. They are assembled by common methods (screwing) or joined by welds.

  • Optimizing construction time

The steel bars are processed at the factory, so the direct construction time only takes 1/10 of the time compared to typical concrete structures.

  • Steel structure brings high safety to construction

Steel is not only a fireproof material but also a preferred material to consider in construction. The significant reason is to prevent fire because the steel is completely coated with an extra layer of fire retardant outside to improve heat resistance in the event of an accident.

Moreover, steel structures lack a specific porosity that makes it difficult for bacteria and mold to grow, so this is often the trending choice of construction works today.

2. 5 applications of steel structure in factory construction

2.1 Application in chemical plants

Based on the waterproofing ability, heat resistance, and high pressure of the material, steel structure is often applied in factories with gas tanks, oil storage or chemical plants, etc.

2.2 Application of building high-rise buildings, especially apartments

Currently, society is following the trend of building high-rise buildings, which means that the pillars are subjected to tremendous pressure, requiring materials with high stiffness.

Therefore, using steel frame frames will be more beneficial than concrete structures. This is considered a feasible solution. Hence, it is trusted by many investment owners.

2.3 Applications in movable works

Steel structures are very suitable for projects that need lightweight and high water resistance because of their durability, hardness, heat resistance, and high-pressure resistance.

2.4 Application in civil service works

Reasonable construction cost, easy conversion, and restructuring of construction are three critical factors of this kind of construction. Pre-engineered steel buildings are always a common choice in constructing residential buildings such as multi-story car parks.

2.5 Applications in public infrastructure construction

With the steel structure's outstanding strength and the materials' strength and toughness, these buildings can withstand heavy loads from traffic and safely for a long time.

The volume of construction steel materials may be small, but their applicability brings a lot. Typically, the strength and toughness of steel bridges help these structures withstand large loads from traffic vehicles. Simultaneously, it also minimizes the risks from the weather.

2.6 Notes when applying steel structure in construction

  • Specify the number of materials and calculate the cost

Estimating the cost and quantity of materials is always one of the most significant steps in construction. This will help businesses to estimate all costs, thereby building a reasonable project but still meeting the quality of the work.

  • Weather factor

Weather is always a factor to consider before planning construction. In fact, in the event of a storm, construction activities on steel materials must be temporarily suspended to ensure workers' safety and minimize risks for investors.

  • Check the steps carefully before installation

This is one of the most vital notes because it directly affects the quality of the factory. This should be done carefully to ensure the quality of the work, avoid unexpected incidents and ensure the work schedule.

  • Choose a reputable steel structure supplier

Choosing a reputable steel structure supplier can help businesses not only ensure the origin of materials but also help improve the quality of the factory, as well as save costs and increase credibility with customers.
