Supply and installation of steel structures

This is a complex process that requires careful planning, coordination and reliable implementation. This process is critical for a variety of construction projects including buildings, bridges and industrial facilities. To give you a better idea, we will describe how such delivery and installation of steel structures is carried out:

Design phase: Detailed architectural and engineering designs are created that specify the dimensions, load capacities and connections of the steel components.

Production: Steel components are manufactured to design specifications. This process often occurs in a specialized facility where cutting, drilling, welding and painting of steel components is completed.

Transport planning: determining the logistics for transporting the produced steel from the factory to the construction site. This includes route planning, obtaining the necessary permits for oversize loads and scheduling deliveries.

Site preparation: Ensuring the site is ready for the arrival of steel. This includes preparing the foundations, erecting scaffolding and installing cranes or other lifting equipment.

Transportation: Steel parts are transported to the site. Large or heavy elements may require special transport arrangements.

Reception and control: Upon arrival, components are inspected for damage during shipment and to ensure they meet design specifications.

Arrangement of components: arrangement of steel components on site in preparation for assembly.

Assembly process: Use cranes and other lifting equipment to lift the steel components into place.

Alignment and fixing: the components are aligned according to the architectural plans and then fixed in place. This may involve bolting, welding or a combination of both.

Security checks: Continuous safety checks are necessary to ensure the stability of the structure during installation.

Welding: if necessary, welding is carried out for joining steel elements. This work is carried out by certified welders to ensure the integrity of the joints.

Screwing: high strength screws are also used to secure the joints. Torque specifications are carefully followed to ensure a secure fit.

Regular checks: Continuous checks are carried out throughout the assembly process to ensure compliance with design specifications and safety standards.

Non-destructive testing: In critical areas, non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic testing can be used to verify the quality of welds and joints.

Completion of assembly: once all components are assembled, a final check is carried out.

Handover to the next phase: the steel structure is then handed over for the next phase of the construction project, such as the installation of floors, walls and roofing.
