From concept to completion, there is no building system more efficient in terms of speed and value than that of pre-engineered steel buildings.
What is a pre-engineered steel building?
Pre-engineering is the systematic process of converting complex and expensive structural steel building designs into simpler and more economically priced and designed steel components. These components are then batch manufactured and used multiple times throughout the project without sacrificing on the design or basic function of the building.
The end product is a reasonably priced complete structural building shell that can be finished internally to serve its required function and accessorised externally to portray a distinctive architectural style.
Need a really big building?
Wide Span Industrial expands on Wide Span Sheds pre-engineered steel building offering by enabling the pre-engineered fabrication of steel components and erection services for much larger, complex structures including factories, warehouses, supermarkets, offices, aircraft hangars and much more.
System capabilities
Heights of 30m and beyond
Clear spans of 90m
State-of-the-art machinery including fully automated technology and processes
Use of the latest international steel building design codes
Did you know?
Pre-engineering buildings originated in the United States shortly after WWII where they were accepted as a viable solution to meet the demand for rapid economic growth and industrialisation in both America and soon after in other industrialised countries.
Features and benefits
It is no surprise that pre-engineered buildings have grown in popularity due to their many end-user advantages. These include a low up-front investment, significantly faster construction timeframes, lower maintenance costs, the option for large clear spans with an infinite choice of layouts, their inherent strength and resistance to earthquakes and harsh climatic conditions, plus their flexibility for future expansion and growth.
An efficiently designed pre-engineered building can be lighter than conventional steel building by up to 30% resulting in significant savings for the build overall.
In terms of design, your building can be conceptualised and manufactured quickly and efficiently using standard architectural features, sections and connections that are employed multiple times. This ensures design times are 6-8 weeks instead of 20-26 weeks as with a conventional steel building. This dramatically reduces the overall cost of the project.
The erection process is simplified in terms of timeframes and equipment required resulting in a lower cost build. The foundations consist of a simple design and are lightweight and easy to construct without the requirement for extensive field labour or heavy equipment.
Wide Span Industrial pre-engineered steel buildings are designed with future expansion in mind. Our supplier can both coordinate and implement changes simply and cost effectively.
