Cold Formed Steel Structures Engineered As Industrial Buildings

coldformed-1Our Cold Form Steel Structures allow buildings to have wide spans and high roofs, which means they are very practical and versatile structures.

We design and build wide span buildings for industrial, agricultural and commercial use. Our buildings are unique due to the innovative construction methods used. They are quick to construct due to their lever design.

Cold Formed Steel Buildings range from small Skillion roof buildings to 25 metres clear span gable buildings, and many other designs.

Listed below are some of the key features of our Cold Formed Steel Building Systems. If at anytime you have any questions or would like to discuss a project you are considering, please do not hesitate to call or email us, we are here to help.

Double Ended Portals

Double Ended Portals Our buildings have double end portals. This means they are ready for future expansion at any time. This is a key feature of our building system. You do not know how things are going to change in the future and having the ability to add to your existing building to cope with growth is a lot more cost effective than having to move your company to grow. The image shows a drive through ... More >>

Hinged Portals

Hinged Portals The time taken to construct your building is time when it is costing you money, yet earning no revenue by use. Our construction method of using hinged portals that are swung into place rather than having to be craned mean that costs are reduced and construction time is reduced. This is also a benefit to consider if you are building where crane access is limited or where no construction cranes ... More >>

More Usable Space

More Usable Space Widespan buildings are built with a unique method of fitting purlins and girts between the portal columns giving additional strength and EXTRA USABLE FLOOR SPACE. Think of the COST BENEFITS to your business. Fundamentally this makes your building more cost effective, and reduces your overheads. As you get more useable building in the same enclosed space than other systems, Widespan ... More >>

No Knee Braces

No Knee Braces Widespan buildings have no knee braces. As you can see from the image our roofs and walls are held securely using engineered members. This give a greater internal height, designed in strength and over all a more useable building. The lack of bracing means you have more useable height within the building, allowing you to make more use of the space. Racking can be placed higher, more equipment ... More >>

No Tek Screws

No Tek Screws No Tek screws are used in the construction of the building frames. All connections are high strength, hot dipped, galvanized BOLTS and construction washers. Tek screws work by being screwed into the material holding the two parts together. With the constant movement that every building undertakes due to heat expansion and wind vibration these screws loosen and become the weak point. Our ... More >>

Strong Bases

Strong Bases Our base plates are heavy 16mm plates and are cast into concrete with 4 ml6 to m24 bolts ( according to width of building). This ensures the building is solid and sturdy. Whether on a concrete pad base or on concrete foundations with a dirt floor, the base construction allows the building to retain maximum internal space, without compromising on strength. With bolted construction the ... More >>
