Future steel Buildings

FUTURE STEEL BUILDINGS
Over a period of years the materials used for the construction of house, buildings, etc. has attained a huge transition and now the new-age building material used is steel. These steel buildings have begun to adorn the skyline across the world.
Future steel buildings can be mainly classified into two types namely

PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS:

Today pre-engineered Steel buildings are the fastest systems of industrial construction. It requires only 33% of time to construct that it normally takes to construct a conventional building. They provide lifelong durability, safety and very low cost-maintenance. They are strong and can withstand unfavorable weather conditions like cyclones, high velocity winds, heavy snow and, most importantly earthquakes. They are essentially used for making big structures such as industries, airports, etc.

SMART STEEL BUILDINGS:

They are constructed for utility buildings such as housing, cottages and other ancillary buildings. Smart Steel buildings are 100% customized steel buildings. Their innovative state-of-the-art technology is the fastest for manufacturing and erecting buildings. They are resistant to moisture, adverse weather conditions, earthquakes, termites and fire.
Future Steel buildings offer the strongest architectural design ever created the truss-less arch. This design has no beams or posts, so Future Steel buildings have a 100% usable interior space without losing strength or durability.

APPLICATIONS

They are used in various applications such as:
  • Stores & Industrial Buildings.
  • Housing.
  • Agriculture.
  • Civil activities.
