Manufacturing or petrochemical industries expanse across acres of land. But they are usually single or double storeyed structures. Structural steel is the most commonly used material to design and construct industrial structures. Moreover, most industries require extended sheds which serve as open workshops or distribution warehouses. These workshops vary in sizes from small to massive distribution warehouses covering over one thousand square meters.
Structural steel is widely used because of its strength, durability, reliability, and the ease of construction. These qualities enable steel to be the best choice of material for the construction of factory, manufacturing, and processing plant buildings. To build these steel structures, extensive experience, skills, and knowledge about steel fabrication is required.
Let’s take a look at the different types of steel structures that can be useful for various industries:
Industrial Sheds:
Depending on the requirements, industrial sheds can be either small or huge. They can be used for various purposes such as to process, design, store or distribute materials. Fabricating such steel structures requires expertise in steel fabrication in order to construct structural steel sheds of the right dimensions and other features as per the requirements. Various types of structural steel beams, trusses, and columns are used for the construction of sheds.
Peb Industrial Sheds:
These are industrial sheds that are pre-engineered in order to meet the standards of designing sheds. A number of illustrations are made by engineers to ensure that these sheds stand the test of time and harsh weather conditions. All the main components of this steel construction process are pre-punched, pre-drilled, pre-welded prior to setting them up at the desired location.
Process Plants:
These structures involve large and heavy equipment. Hence, they need to be made with precision and care. Furthermore, these steel structures must be flexible and adaptable, of course, not in the literal terms. But they should be designed or fabricated in a way that they can be re-designed in future, if there is a need. These steel buildings should be designed in a way that they can be easily modified, strengthened and extended. They should be constructed such that future owners or users with different requirements can readily adapt the structure.
The best part about steel construction is that it enables large spans to be constructed with relatively small construction depths. Additionally, steel can be recycled any number of times without losing its quality or strength. Steel construction components are fabricated under factory-controlled conditions with minimal wastage. We at Northern Weldarc manufacture and fabricate steel products that can help you in designing your industrial estate, and at the same time, reduce costs, save time and efforts.
