Reasons to choose a steel structure when building an industrial factories

The steel frame structure is one of the most prevalent steel applications. Let's look at this type of construction's advantages over traditional construction.

1. Save construction costs for businesses

The first remarkable reason is that building a pre-engineered steel factory or a steel frame factory will save business construction costs. Traditionally, building factories need a lot of labor and materials. However, pre-engineered steel buildings will minimize the cost of materials, saving 25 - 30% on expenses.

The components of the steel building frame are prefabricated in advance. When transported to the construction site, they only need to be assembled and placed on the foundation. This process helps shorten the construction time and does not require too much workforce.

2. Maximize and utilize space in the factory

For traditional construction, it is compulsory to build huge concrete pillars, which takes up a vast space unnecessarily. Thus, building a factory with a steel frame will be the optimal solution for this problem. The compact structure and material to build the pillars of the steel frame will increase the area for effective construction.

In addition, most steel frame buildings have no or few columns inside, which creates a lot of free space. This is an opportunity to install machines and equipment in the factory, elevators, etc. This may considerably make your factory more convenient.

3. Construction time is shortened

The steel frame factory is one of the industrial projects with the shortest construction time. The process of erecting a steel frame building is rapid and easy. This is a tremendous advantage for pre-engineered steel buildings to be prioritized by construction companies.

In concrete structure construction, we have to wait a while for the concrete blocks to dry completely before being able to continue with the following stages. On the contrary,  when constructing a steel frame factory, we only need to build the foundation and assemble the frame, which is almost completed. The other things we have to complete are roofing, erecting surrounds, and checking before handing over.

4. The construction quality is highly appreciated

The steel frame is built from exceedingly durable steel structures. A computer will precisely design these components, then manufacture them under the close supervision of experts. Therefore, the quality of these steel frame factories is always guaranteed.

Steel frame buildings have high durability. Hence, it can withstand all weather conditions from heat, humidity, rain, wind, or impacts such as noise generated by machinery and equipment in the factory. When choosing a steel building frame for a workshop or factory, businesses can be assured of the solidity of the project for a long time.

5. The possibility of dismantling flexibly, easily expanding the factory scale

Flexibility is an outstanding feature of this type of factory that no other type of factory has. Because steel building parts are assembled by bolt links, changing the design, expanding, or narrowing the factory can be easily carried out.

Moreover, businesses can completely relocate the steel frame factory if needed. Thanks to the flexibility of dismantling, changing the factory's location is no longer difficult.

6. Compact structure, suitable for many types of terrain

With a compact structure and uncomplicated disassembling, a steel frame is ideal for businesses to build factories in places with unique terrains, such as soft soil areas. You can completely set your mind at rest because the steel structure is still very stable.

Ordinarily, when construction, we need to pour concrete pillars deep into the ground to ensure the sustainability of the building. Conversely, this is not mandatory for steel structure projects. The tightly linked steel frame assists reduce the load placed on the foundation of the building, which is both convenient and safe.

In the event of an accident, the risk can be greatly reduced thanks to the compact structure of the building. The above article’s information is some of the most prominent advantages of steel building frames and projects with steel structure applications. Hopefully, this article has brought you a lot of useful information. Let’s see more articles about pre-engineered steel buildings and structures at BMB Steel.
