Steel building erection is often associated with traditional categories that comprise farming and ranching, fabrication, and commercial and business structures. However, you may find some of the more modern uses of steel buildings quite surprising.
Night clubs and entertainment facilities view commercial grade steel as a very viable option. The clear span structural framing system that steel Rigid I-Beam structures supply are very popular within the entertainment industry. An unobstructed interior is often required for areas used for dining, dancing, or holding large events. With no internal weight-bearing pillars, “clear-span” erection provides for the maximum use of space in the structure.
Another fairly recent application for pre-engineered and pre-fabricated steel buildings is evident in their use for schools and universities. The monetary advantages for any university or school can be excellent in terms of minimal construction site labor, and the fast assembly of the steel building only slightly impacts the timetables of year-round schools. School councils and managers of higher education facilities recognize that all-steel structures can be completed and fully operational in a fraction of the period it would take a traditional structure to be erected.
Auto and truck franchises are also benefiting greatly from the implementation of all-steel buildings. They particularly enjoy that a mezzanine can be installed to provide vertical parts storage, which is preferable to more costly horizontal parts storage. This makes use of otherwise unused overhead space and does away with the need to increase the actual building size.
The advantages of all-steel construction are also experienced by synagogues and churches. Many churches and temples have limited funds and they discover that standard construction applications (masonry, brick, or wood) can be twice the cost of steel. Particular temples and churches with large memberships might even erect their own buildings, as I-Beam steel buildings simply bolt together. To erect a new facility and lower the budget on labor outlay, parishioners with a building background can even get together to help in the erection.
Pre-fabricated and pre-engineered steel structures are now being used for many other purposes including hospitals, truck terminals, and entertainment centers. Consider a pre-engineered steel structure for your next building erection project, regardless of the complexity of your design or the purpose for which you intend it to serve.
