Industrial Steel Buildings & Steel Structure Construction

 

Industrial Steel Buildings Built Around Your Project

Industrial buildings need to work around the operation they are being built for. Afripanel can design and manufacture steel structures according to your requirements or manufacture from approved engineer drawings supplied for the project.

Our prefabricated steel structures can be used for:

• Industrial warehouses
• Factories and manufacturing buildings
• Industrial workshops
• Storage buildings
• Distribution and logistics buildings
• Industrial sheds
• Production facilities
• Mining and industrial site buildings
• Multi-storey steel buildings
• Industrial offices and support buildings
• Large engineered steel structures
• Industrial buildings incorporating modular panel systems

Whether you need a straightforward steel warehouse or a more customised industrial building, Afripanel can manufacture the structure around the required size, layout and project specifications.

 

Steel Structure Design, Manufacturing & Construction

Afripanel provides more than standard prefabricated steel building kits.

Our qualified designers and engineers can develop a steel structure around your project requirements, or Afripanel can manufacture according to approved engineer drawings provided by your project team.

Steel structures are prefabricated before being transported to site, allowing much of the manufacturing work to take place in a controlled factory environment rather than during construction on site.

Depending on the project, Afripanel can assist with:

1. Steel structure design
2. Engineering input
3. Manufacturing and fabrication
4. Prefabrication of the steel structure
5. Priming and final coating
6. Transport to the project site
7. Steel structure erection
8. Industrial building construction
9. Insulated roof and wall systems
10. Doors and shutter doors
11. Modular panel integration
12. Turnkey project completion where required

Afripanel has experienced engineers, designers, welders and boilermakers involved in the manufacture of steel structures and steelwork for projects of different sizes.

 

Supply-Only or Turnkey Steel Structure Construction

Not every industrial project requires the same level of support.

Afripanel can quote on a supply-only basis where the client has their own construction team, or provide construction teams for a more complete turnkey project.

For turnkey steel structure construction, Afripanel can manage the project from civil groundworks through to the construction and handover of the completed building.

This gives project owners, developers and industrial companies the flexibility to choose the level of involvement that best suits their project.

Supply Only
Afripanel manufactures and supplies the prefabricated steel structure for construction by your appointed team.

Manufacture & Erection
Afripanel manufactures the steel structure and provides an experienced team for erection and construction on site.

Turnkey Construction
For suitable projects, Afripanel can provide a more complete construction solution from civil groundworks through to the completed industrial building.

 

Industrial Steel Structures with Insulated Panel Systems

Industrial steel structures can also be combined with Afripanel’s prefabricated panel systems to create a more complete building.

Depending on your requirements, Afripanel can provide:

• Insulated wall panels
• Insulated roof systems
• Insulated doors
• Shutter doors
• Internal modular spaces
• Ceiling systems
• Electrical work
• Plumbing
• Air conditioning
• Internal fittings and trimmings

This allows the structural steel and modular building elements to be planned together rather than treating them as completely separate parts of the project.

It can be particularly useful where an industrial building needs offices, staff facilities, enclosed working areas or other internal spaces incorporated into the main structure.

 

Steel Structures for Warehouses, Factories & Industrial Facilities

Afripanel can manufacture steel structures for a variety of industrial applications.

Warehouses & Storage Buildings

Prefabricated steel structures are well suited to warehouses and industrial storage buildings where businesses need practical floor space, structural strength and a building designed around their operational requirements.

Afripanel can manufacture the steel structure and incorporate roofing, wall panels, doors and other building elements required for the project.

Factories & Manufacturing Buildings

Factories and manufacturing facilities often need buildings developed around specific production requirements.

Afripanel can work from the client’s requirements or approved engineer drawings to manufacture an industrial steel building suited to the required layout and scale.

Industrial Workshops

Steel structures can be used for maintenance workshops, engineering workshops and other industrial working environments.

The structure can be designed around the size and configuration required for the intended operation.

Mining & Remote Industrial Projects

Afripanel supplies buildings for mining and remote-site projects throughout Africa.

Our teams have the qualifications and SHEQ files required for work on corporate and mining sites, making Afripanel suitable for industrial projects where site safety and project requirements need to be carefully managed.

Industrial Developments

Afripanel can also work with developers and project teams that require steel structures as part of larger industrial developments.

Projects can range from individual buildings to larger steel structures incorporating modular panels and supporting spaces.

 

Why Prefabricated Steel Structures Work for Industrial Construction

Industrial construction requires a practical balance between structural requirements, construction time, cost and the long-term use of the building.

Manufactured Before Site Construction
Steel structures are prefabricated before construction, allowing much of the manufacturing work to happen before the building is erected on site.

Built Around Your Requirements
Afripanel does not limit clients to one standard industrial building design. Our team can design according to your requirements or manufacture from approved engineer drawings.

Suitable for Large Industrial Buildings
Afripanel manufactures steel structures ranging from smaller buildings to large engineered structures and can also manufacture multi-storey steel buildings.

Supply or Turnkey Options
Choose a supply-only structure or involve Afripanel in construction and turnkey project delivery.

Integrated Building Systems
Steel structures can incorporate Afripanel insulated panels, roofing, doors, internal spaces and other building components.

Direct-from-Manufacturer Value
Afripanel manufactures its building systems directly, giving clients access to the manufacturer rather than adding unnecessary layers between the project and production.

 

Industrial Steel Structure Construction Across Africa

Afripanel manufactures from its facility in Kempton Park, Johannesburg, South Africa and supplies projects across Africa and internationally.

This is particularly valuable for industrial, mining and infrastructure projects where the project location may be far from established construction centres.

Prefabrication allows the main steel components to be manufactured before they reach the site, while Afripanel’s cross-border freight capability allows projects to be supplied into markets throughout Africa.

Clients can choose between supply-only arrangements and installation or construction support depending on the project and destination.
