Pre-engineered steel buildings are buildings made of steel structures and fabricated and installed according to pre-specified architectural and technical drawings. The process of making finished products (with a combination of inspection and quality control steps) goes through 3 main stages: Design, Fabrication of components and Erection at the site. The entire steel structure can be produced synchronously and then delivered to the construction site in a relatively short time.

The architectural works that often use this type of house include factories, warehouses, galleries, supermarkets, commercial buildings, high-rise buildings, etc.

Steel structure Advantages and Disadvantages:

Advantages:

Steel structure is a popular and reliable choice for a wide range of construction projects due to their structural integrity, from commercial and industrial buildings to bridges and other infrastructure developments.

Steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which is very strong for its weight, and is much higher than other common construction materials, such as concrete and wood. This means that steel components can be made very lightweight without sacrificing strength.

Ductile steel structures can absorb more energy before failure than brittle structures. This makes them ideal for applications subjected to high-impact loads, such as in earthquake-prone areas or industrial settings.

Prefabrication and ease of assembly of steel structures lead to faster construction times.

The steel structure is recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Low maintenance requirements of steel structures contribute to long-term cost efficiency.

Steel fabrication can be easily modified or expanded.

Properly designed steel structures can provide high fire resistance.

Disadvantages:

Thin steel frames may not be suitable for buildings that require high load-bearing capacity or long spans, as they might not provide sufficient strength. Thus the basic designed load will be necessary to confirm before our quotation.

Steel is susceptible to corrosion, so steel structures need to be properly protected from the elements. This can add to the cost of maintenance and upkeep. So after its installation, extra fireproof painting is necessary to enlong its service lifetime.

Steel is a good conductor of heat, meaning steel structures can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. This can make them less comfortable to occupy and can also increase energy costs. To make up this, insulation material is optional for roof and wall.

Maintaining the cleanliness of the steel surfaces helps to prevent corrosion and extend the life of the building. Applying protective coatings or paint can also provide an extra layer of protection against the elements.
