A cost-optimized solution for industrial building: single-storey structure

Factories, warehouses, goods storage, etc., are all essential in business. In order to optimize the building costs, a practical solution that is widely used is the single-storey industrial structure. In this article, BMB Steel will help you find out more information about the single-storey industrial building structure - an optimal factory construction solution.

1. What is the single-storey industrial building?

Single-storey industrial house is a pre-engineered steel building model whose structure is mainly made of pre-engineered steel. Its large area is used as a workshop, warehouse, factory production, and retail distribution place. Besides, the single-storey industrial building has been widely used in businesses in Vietnam recently.

The single-storey industrial house, a popular model of pre-engineered steel buildings, offers a highly efficient solution for businesses needing large spaces for workshops, warehouses, and production facilities. With its versatile design and cost-effective construction, this type of structure has become increasingly favored in Vietnam. Similarly, pre fabricated building provide an optimized alternative for industrial projects, allowing for quicker assembly and reduced costs. The single-storey structure, in particular, stands out as a cost-optimized solution, combining durability, scalability, and affordability for a wide range of industrial applications.

2. Features of the single-storey industrial building

Single-storey industrial building has a large construction area that can meet the needs of many purposes. The pillar frame and roof of the building are made from pre-engineered steel truss frames. Besides, the building is combined with reinforced concrete materials to make foundations, pillars, or surrounding parts.

The one-storey industrial building structure has a fundamental feature: it is made from a zamil steel frame or steel truss system. The cover system of the building is made from tempered glass or cold corrugated iron, etc.

3. The general structure of the single-storey industrial building

The general structure of the single-storey industrial building includes:

• Main steel frame: Column, truss, and brace
• Secondary components: Purlin system for walls and roof
• Roof and wall panels

The main structure of the single-storey industrial is an integral part. It includes the partitions, covers, the system of bars, purlins, and the design of ventilation and drainage systems.

4. Benefits of the single-storey industrial factory construction solution

The solution of the single-storey industrial factory helps owners get high economic efficiency. Firstly, the industrial factory is an easy-to-design model with quick design time and ensuring business progress. Secondly, it has high applicability to serve the needs of a factory and a production area. Besides, the single-storey industrial factory meets the cost problems because the production cost is relatively low.

5. Fundamental requirements when constructing industrial buildings.

When designing a single-storey industrial buildings, owners and contractors must meet the following requirements:

• Detail cost estimating
• Design detailed drawings
• Choose raw materials with guaranteed quality
• Ensure the design process of the steel structure fabrication
• Truss system linked with bolts, additional bracing system to increase stability
• Choose a suitable covering system to protect the building from the weather impacts
• Stable floor system

6. Effective construction method for one storey-storey industrial factory

The most effective way to build single-storey industrial factory construction is to apply the pre-engineered steel frames. Pre-engineered steel truss frames bring many benefits to the owners. It can save from 20-30% of the total building cost. In addition, when constructing this type of building, we need to ensure the following requirements:

• Using high-quality materials to ensure the construction safety
• Note about the fire and explosion prevention system, guaranteeing the safety for human and property
• Minimize the effects of natural factors on the project

7. Notes when designing and building a single-storey industrial factory

7.1 Truss-beam frame

The truss-beam frame must be designed in flexible elastic to take advantage of the bearing capacity. By using iron and steel pipes, this system will support the main force of the building, especially the roof.

7.2 Truss system

The truss system is linked together by bolts, a collection of steel frames such as steel pipes that are welded and fixed together to create grid systems. The truss system must be designed with appropriate height and size to distribute the force and ensure the safety of the building.

7.3 Covering system

By virtue of the influence of weather such as sunshine, rain, and wind, the design of the cover system has to ensure the safety of the construction. The covering system includes the building surrounding, roof, and wall. We must choose materials with good bearing capacity, heat resistance to ensure the using quality.

7.4 Floor system

Usually, the floor systems for single-storey industrial buildings are made with concrete. The design must include concentrated loads due to vehicles, machinery, and goods depending on the purpose of use of a single-storey industrial building. Concrete floors should have a minimum thickness of about 100 = 150 mm.
