What forms a steel structure?
A steel structure uses steel members and connections to form its load-bearing system. Columns, beams, trusses and bracing have distinct roles within that system. Roof and wall cladding are coordinated with the frame while addressing additional building requirements.
Applications
Factories, warehouses, hangars, platforms and multi-storey buildings can use steel solutions. Different activities require different clearances, equipment arrangements and layouts. Similar floor areas do not necessarily imply the same steel quantity or structural details.
Before requesting a proposal
Prepare the project location, approximate dimensions and intended use. Share lifting, machinery and cladding requirements. Separate the responsibilities for foundations, frame, envelope and services so that the proposal has a clearly defined scope.
