In the modern world, the construction of prefabricated buildings is gaining momentum. They are popular in almost all areas of society, so for industry, agriculture and even oil production are indispensable. Also, the transport and energy industries are considered important consumers of metal structures . The design, manufacture and installation of metal structures should be trusted only by qualified specialists who guarantee high-quality work in accordance with all customer requirements and generally accepted standards.
Why it is practical to use metal structures
The use of metal structures is a profitable and practical way of erecting various types of objects. They can significantly reduce labor costs and reduce construction time. This option is preferred by many private and public organizations that need fast, but at the same time high-quality construction of buildings.
Design as an important step
Fabrication and installation of metal structures require preliminary design without fail. The development of the project is carried out in stages, according to an established structure, so specialists begin to work strictly after the customer has provided all the necessary data. Designing involves the use of drawings that are prepared by specialists in this field or offered by the client himself. Many modern companies use only innovative technologies and PC programs that greatly simplify project development. Thanks to this approach, it is ensured:
- reduction of design time;
- the ability to analyze preliminary results of work;
- project development from simple sketches to drawings in the smallest details;
- operational change of the nuances of the project, without the need to redo all the work.
Responsible work - only competent specialists
In order for the installation of metal structures to be made as efficiently and quickly as possible, it is important not only to choose experienced construction specialists, but also to take care of the design in the proper way. In this case, the structure can serve for a long time and effectively, regardless of its purpose.
Production and installation of metal structures are complex processes that require exact observance of manufacturing technology, construction and all related processes. That is why manufacturing companies employ only qualified specialists who can guarantee high-quality results.
Metal Fabrication
The creation of metal structures involves the use of rolled low-alloy and carbon steel. Sometimes titanium alloys are also used, but its cost, as is known, is higher, which significantly affects the final price of all works. The final choice of materials depends on factors such as the operating conditions of the facility and its purpose, in order to ultimately ensure the effective construction of the metal structure. Production, manufacturing and installation should be performed only by qualified specialists who know all the subtleties and nuances of these works.
The most popular and popular type of steel is St3. It is characterized by high mechanical properties, moderate ductility and does not lend itself to hardening. To reduce the weight of metal structures, you can use a mixture of alloyed and thermal hardening. Some manufacturing companies also use aluminum. Thanks to him, the installation of metal structures is faster, by reducing the total mass of products. But at the same time, the metal elements of the object reduce their strength properties.
For the production of metal structures of any complexity, metal profiles, sheets or pipes are first used. Productivity, as a rule, increases due to the use of standardized and normalized elements. Technical characteristics directly depend on these components and significantly increase with their active use.
Mounting Features
Just like the manufacture, installation of metal structures involves the observance of certain requirements and following the KMD schemes. The installation of the structure itself begins only after preparation of the foundation and all the necessary points of support of the metal structure. Installation has no fundamental differences with reinforced concrete objects, except:
- slightly more weight;
- increased deformability;
- substantial dimensions.
Assembly technology also has its own characteristics. So, light metal structures are assembled using bolts, while in the case of heavy types it is advisable to use welding installations. They will provide a more durable and reliable installation of metal structures. The price of services ranges from 50,000-70000 rubles per ton, depending on the type of facility itself.
Experienced specialists - quality result
Prefabricated buildings - this is the best option for many enterprises, so today most consumers prefer metal structures. Production, manufacture and installation will be carried out by special construction organizations, guaranteeing high-quality construction of any type of object. Therefore, it is recommended to take a very responsible approach to the issues of choosing a contractor, because the final result will completely depend on this.
