ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

Pre-engineered Metal Buildings are designed, engineered and constructed to be energy-efficient.

7. Naturally Cool and Collected

In today’s world, being energy efficient in everything we do, is extremely important. The very nature of a pre-engineered steel building provides for a highly energy efficient structure in every way. Beginning with the accuracy of the engineering process, virtually all prospect of waste is eliminated even before we begin to manufacture with recyclable steel. The efficiency of the design process increases the efficiency at the construction phase as well; creating a smaller footprint in environmental impact.

Over and above all these things, steel buildings save energy and reduce the greenhouse effect because they are excellent insulators for both heat and cold. The insulating properties of steel keeps the heat from escaping from the metal building during the winter.

ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

Pre-engineered Metal Buildings effortlessly span 100’s of feet in width and can be as long as your site will allow.

3. Wide is Wondrous

There are not many other types of gabled structures that can span 250 feet or more in a cost-effective manner, without using posts or columns to support the loads. Prefabricated Metal Building Systems are known for their incredible width span.

By far the most frequently used primary framing in a Prefab Steel building system is the Clear-Span Rigid Frame. We call these frames “Clear-Span” simply because they have no interior columns or support between the exterior columns. An amazing thing for customers who are looking for 100% usable interior space!

It is the Clear-Span Rigid Frame that revolutionized construction and made prefab metal buildings such an incredibly versatile and innovative investment.

The typical Rigid Frame on a prefabricated steel building has tapered vertical columns and a tapered rafter. The pre-engineered process can push the clear-span up to 250’ in width.

If you need it wider – No problem, we can use a modular framing system.

Modular frames are simply Rigid Frames with intermediary columns, and the spacing between the intermediary columns does not have to be equal. These extra columns provide strength and integrity to the rigid frame, redistributing the force of the loads to the overall structure. When the rigid frame is not wide enough, Modular Frames can be used to widen the span of a prefab steel building much further. 

Furthermore, when they can be hidden within the architecture (e.g., in aisles, bleachers or partition walls), Modular Frames don’t impact the overall design of the interior of the steel structure and can be used to bring the overall cost down.

Closing Out

The amazing capabilities of the pre-engineering process puts the strength of steel exactly where it is needed to create the muscle power that will withstand pressures from the elements. Even without using posts and columns on the inside of your steel building, we can go as wide as 250’ without any extra support – even wider when geographic conditions allow.

The clever use of both types of framing is one way that your experienced Norsteel Building consultant will work with you to achieve the best solution for your specific steel building requirements. Depending on the application for your prefabricated metal structure, we may incorporate both rigid frames as well as modular frames within the same steel building design.

ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

The prefabrication process dictates that we use no more, and no less steel than is exactly appropriate for your specific unique structural design.

2. Waste not, spend not

When designing prefabricated metal buildings, the engineering process inherently creates a structural design with very little waste. This is because it uses the optimal combination of structural components with the exact capacity to suit the specified requirements for that specific job. In other words, the technology we use is designed to ensure that only the exact amount of steel studs are required for each particular steel building.

This means that there is no overage for the customer to pay because there is no unnecessary steel that is wasted in the manufacturing process.  This provides for a very lean cost, and it results in a very environmentally sensitive approach to construction.

Understanding that the efficiency in the engineering process creates a cost efficiency for the customer is key to understanding the amazing advantages offered by a pre-engineered metal building solution.

The minimal waste advantage associated with pre-engineered building solutions, also translates to less material waste on the job-site.  Exact measurements that correspond to exact details make for easy construction and leave little to no need for last-minute adjustments and on-the-spot improvisations. This translates into high cost savings for the customer when there is little to no cutting or welding on site, both in terms of construction time and in terms of job site clean-up.

Closing Out

The engineering process used to design our prefab metal building systems uses incredibly precise technology to create the design and detailing for your steel structure. It uses exacting measurement design tools to factor in all calculations and in the end, produces exact engineered drawings and a detailed cut list for production. This process means that when we manufacture your steel structure all components are made to those exact specifications, so that only the necessary steel is used to produce your specific metal building.

At Norsteel,we take pride in the fact that our Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings are an innovative, technologically detailed and environmentally sound approach to providing customers with cost-effective, waste-free structural solutions.

ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

Keeping people safe and protecting their investments is always our first priority.

1. Keeping you safe

Pre-engineered steel buildings are used for an endless number of applications. From Restaurant facilities to Churches, Horse stables to chicken ranches, warehousing, automobile storage and office space.

When designing a pre-engineered steel building, local and National building codes are always factored into the design and engineering process. This goes a long way to ensure that your Prefab Metal Building will meet or exceed all structural requirements demanded by the specific environmental conditions of your locations – but it isn’t enough.

Your Building Consultant should have a thorough understanding of what exactly you will be using your steel building for. He or she should ask you how you plan to finish the inside. They should ask for example, if anything will be suspended from the ceiling or walls of your steel structure. This will dictate the collateral loads to be used in order to ensure that your roof is strong enough to sustain any added weight.

Your Building Consultant should also ask how many people will be inside your steel structure at any given time in order to determine the appropriate occupancy rating used in the design of your prefab metal building.

And there are other important design determinants related to the actual positioning of the metal structure on your specific site: Will the steel building be surrounded by any obstructions? Are there surrounding trees or other buildings, for example? Depending on the height of those obstructions, they could have serious implications for snow accumulations on roofs and walls. This snow shadow may increase the loading on the steel structure and must be accounted for in the design of your metal building system.

There are many considerations that should factor into a prefab steel building design, in order to ensure that it is engineered to your specific requirements. This is why each steel building is represented by its own customized specifications and requires its own precise engineering process.

Closing Out

At Norsteel,understanding our customer’s needs and specifications is essential in ensuring that we are providing the steel structure that satisfies your specific project requirements. We take the time to fully and thoroughly understand the complete scope and the tiny details of your project.

Because we understand that no matter the size of the project, and no matter what you are protecting, every steel building customer wants the security of knowing that the building they choose is safe, strong and durable.
