Structural steel construction isn’t just for skyscrapers. The durability and versatility of structural steel make it the ideal building material for many projects. Hence it is wise to be used for a range of commercial, agricultural, and industrial projects as well. It can be used in just about every stage of the building process, including framing, floor joists, roofing! From eco-friendly to great aesthetic appeal, steel structures do all! The various reasons that convince the contractors, engineers, and building owners to use steel structures in their construction projects are:
Design freedom
Steel structures offer the construction designers and architects the freedom to bring customize texture and shape to any construction projects. The multiple features of durability, strength, precision, beauty, and malleability give architects and builders the scope to explore ideas and develop new construction solutions.
Faster construction
Steel structures can bring together efficiently and swiftly. It is manufactured offsite and requires minimal on-site labor. Its construction is also backed by excellent CAD design work and expert engineering supervision in our state of art factory premises. The structural steel you get is also light-weight, which enables a smaller and simpler foundation.
Adaptable and accessible
The steel structures we produce are adaptable and subjected to change, as well. If you want to make some modifications can be done quickly. These are more adaptable and have great potential for alterations to be made over time. Steel structures are lighter than any other construction materials and need less extensive foundations. Such a lightweight feature makes it easier to be lifted and moved around, reducing transportation and fuel costs.
More open space
Steel structures sections allow an elegant, cost-effective method to achieve projects even at any long distances. It is an excellent way to archive large, column-free interior spaces for any construction projects. Exceptional architectural design and engineering help in achieving less number of columns in a building. It also makes it easy to subdivide and customize the interior spaces as well.
Environment-friendly
Steel can be recycled endlessly. Also, it won’t lose any of its properties! There will less pollution involved at the time of demolition of structural steel building. All the components and parts can be recycled and reused for further projects as well.
Great resistance
Steel structures are inherently pliable and flexible, earthquake and fireproof, and resist fire well. So, bear the flexes of heavy loads rather than crumbling or crushing. It has a considerable capacity to tackle lateral loads caused by wind as well.
Awesome functionality
It will give a flexible option Steel fabricators do the framing with a sense of flexibility. The flexibility of the steel structure framing inspires engineers, architects, and builders to achieve unique shapes and designs. Also, its aesthetic qualities complement its functional conditions as well, including its dimensional stability over time. Is spanning ability, endless recyclability, and the fast assembling speed options make it much accessible in construction industries.
These are some reasons for using steel structures for construction. If you are convinced of the various benefits that the steel structure will offer, you should get in touch with Afripanel for the best quote and advice.
