Structural Steel Workshop Video

Structural steel fabrication can be carried out in shop or at the construction site. Fabrication of steelwork carried out in shops is precise and of assured quality, whereas field fabrication is comparatively of inferior in quality. Construction site fabrication is most common even in large projects due to inexpensive field labour, high cost of transportation, difficulty in the transportation of large members, higher excise duty on products from shop. Beneficial taxation for site work is a major financial incentive for site fabrication. The methods followed in site fabrication are similar but the level of sophistication of equipment at site and environmental control would be usually less. The skill of personnel at site also tends to be inferior and hence the quality of finished product tends to be relatively inferior. However, shop fabrication is efficient in terms of cost, time and quality. Structural steel passes through various operations during the course of its fabrication. The sequence and importance of shop operations will vary depending on the type of fabrication required. The steel-framed building derives most of its competitive advantage from the virtues of prefabricated components, which can be assembled speedily at site. Unlike concreting, which is usually a wet process conducted at site, steel is produced and subsequently fabricated within a controlled environment. This ensures high quality, manufacture offsite with improved precision and enhanced speed of construction at site. Steel structure workshop is the type of building formed by main framework which mainly consists of steel column, steel beam and purlin, thus the steel structure accounts for the major load-bearing member of steel workshop building. The roof and wall of steel workshop utilize various styles of panels that will overlap when assembled together, leaving no openings. As a result, the steel frame workshop can be isolated against outdoor environments. Due to reasonable cost and short construction period, steel structure has been applied in a wide range of industrial and non-industrial building construction. According to the type of steel, steel structure workshop building produced by our factory can be classified into light duty and heavy duty type.
