Steel-built Industrial Units |
Two examples of combination office buildings and warehousing for use as industrial buildings. Though the buildings are different in detailed design, both include both a working (production or storage) area and two storey offices for administration. The buildings use the flexibility portal-frames give you to create a combined use building with large doors and high ceilings for the production area. Both are fully insulated with large windows and skylights for natural light. |

Examples of steel-built factories |
This is an example of a large factory complex for industrial use built using linked and interconnected steel-framed buildings across the factory site. This is a large building sand shows the potential scale and size from building in steel. Not every building needs to be so grand and many smaller businesses use much simpler steel buildings finding that they are much more cost-effective than other building methods. For this example, the site includes several production areas and offices under one roof. |

Overheight scrap metal storage for crane access |
Scrap-metal handling facility with very large over-height doors for crane access. The basic building is approximately 10m high with 8m high access doors to allow for JCBs and cranes to get access. It was important that the interior working space was unimpeded by columns or interior walls as these create obstructions when moving and sorting material, consequently the use of a steel frame was the only way this project was feasible. Note that interior light is provided by the overhead skylights. |
