Steel constructions
Steel is always modern, steel is always contemporary and steel is a material that offers endless possibilities. It has been used for centuries since it can be applied in different ways– it is a reliable partner with excellent building and functional characteristics that makes architects and investors enthusiastic about it. It is suitable for representative and industrial buildings; it is widely used in projects in which there have to be many changes in design. It is a solution that counts.Advantages of steel constructions
Aesthetic:
- enables great freedom to architects and designers
- transparency, slenderness and lightness of construction
- bigger spans, open floor plans
- elegance, simplicity, colourfulness
- trend of modern architectural design
Economic:
- fast and simple construction
- fast assembly
- production under the roof
- dry construction and smaller foundation
- simple construction of installations
- good ratio between load-bearing capacity and the weight of the construction
- possibility of simple upgrading and changing
- CAD/CAM design
- simple maintenance and long-life span
- low-cost dismantling and deconstruction
- possibility of re-use
Environmental:
- recycled and environmentally friendly material
- does not burden the environment in its life span or at the end of it
- lower pollution rate on the environment due to transport and during construction
Technical:
- strength of material
- simple combing with other materials
- system solutions
- high technology of performance and established, quality design solutions
Safety:
- low weight
- earthquake safety
- simple visual and control of performance and assembly
Each steel construction is constructed of:
Primary steel construction
The primary, basic construction is composed of load-bearing frames and stabilisation elements that assure stability of a facility and transfers loads to reinforced concrete foundations. It is protected with a basic coating; and the final coating is painted in the production process or during assembly. more »Secondary steel construction
The secondary construction either represents the roof or façade sub-construction on the previously prepared primary steel construction or concrete girders. more »
