A steel structure industrial building, commonly referred to as a space frame workshop, is a prefabricated, high-strength construction designed for manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics centers, and large-span facilities. These structures are characterized by their lightweight yet durable steel framework, rapid construction, and adaptability to various industrial needs.
Structural System
Primary Steel Frame: Columns and beams fabricated from hot-rolled or welded H-sections (Q355B steel).
Rigid Frames: Single-span (20m-40m) or multi-span (24m+24m) configurations with heights from 6m to 15m.
Secondary Components: Cold-formed C/Z-section purlins and girts (galvanized).
Bracing: Horizontal and vertical bracing systems for seismic and wind resistance.
Building Envelope & Cladding
Roofing: Sandwich panels (PU/Rockwool core) or corrugated galvalume sheets.
Wall Cladding: Single skin or insulated panels with integrated roll-up or sliding doors.
Accessories: Ridge caps, gutters, and natural ventilators for air circulation.
Key Advantages
Fast Construction: 30% to 50% quicker assembly than concrete structures.
High Durability: Superior strength-to-weight ratio and seismic resistance.
Sustainability: Eco-friendly design using 100% recyclable steel materials.
Customization: Tailored spans and heights to fit specific industrial processes.
Manufacturing & Shipping
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used for the main structural components?
We use high-grade carbon structural steel, specifically Q235B and Q355B (equivalent to ASTM A572 Gr.50), for columns and beams to ensure maximum load-bearing capacity.
How do you protect the steel structure from corrosion?
All components undergo intensive surface treatment, including hot-dipped galvanizing (typically 80μm for secondary members) and specialized anti-rust epoxy painting systems.
Can these buildings accommodate heavy lifting equipment?
Yes, our industrial buildings can be designed with integrated crane runway beams to support overhead cranes with capacities ranging from 5 tons to 50 tons.
What are the standard roofing and wall cladding options?
Customers can choose between insulated sandwich panels (PU, Rockwool, or Glasswool cores) for temperature control, or cost-effective corrugated galvalume steel sheets.
What is the typical lead time for a project?
The delivery time depends on the project scale and complexity. Generally, manufacturing is completed within one month following the confirmation of designs and deposit.
What design standards do you follow for safety?
Our structures are engineered according to international standards such as BS, GB 50011, and Eurocode 8, considering specific local wind, snow, and seismic load requirements.
