Lightweight
Although steel structures have a relatively high density, they are still lighter than other building materials. They possess good seismic performance, making them suitable for industrial plant construction in both high-intensity and low-intensity seismic areas. Their lightweight nature also facilitates easier foundation treatment and is more economical.
High Strength
Steel structures possess high strength, good toughness, and uniform material composition, resulting in excellent seismic performance.
Fast Construction Speed
Factory prefabrication and on-site installation are the dominant methods for steel structure plant construction. Because factory prefabrication and on-site installation facilitate industrialization, construction speed is approximately 30%-50% faster than reinforced concrete structures, and capital tied up in time is reduced by approximately 30%.
Energy Saving and Environmental Protection
Steel structure plant construction not only avoids environmental pollution but also conserves resources. Steel materials are recyclable, reducing resource waste. Furthermore, steel structure projects require less energy during construction, resulting in less environmental pollution.
Large Usable Area
Due to the large span, height, and light weight of steel structure factory buildings, they can achieve greater height, larger span, and less steel consumption compared to other types of factory buildings within the same building area. For the same building area, using steel structures saves nearly 10% of the building area compared to traditional structures such as reinforced concrete.
Easy Installation
Steel structure projects can be completed simply by assembling according to drawings, greatly reducing construction time and intensity. Furthermore, assembly can be completed with only a small number of cranes, reducing construction equipment costs.
High Applicability
The highly flexible design capabilities and superior spatial design of steel structure projects make them extremely versatile. For example, spaces can be divided into various sizes to meet the needs of different industries. In addition, the strong corrosion resistance and high strength of steel structures make them suitable for construction in various environmental conditions.
