Steelwork Engineering Staircases

We design and install steel staircases which are built to last

/in /by

Installing a steel staircase offers a number of benefits, not least in terms of exceptional durability. If you’re considering an extension or refurbishment project to your business premises, here at Steelwork Engineering we have the expertise to design, build and install a steel staircase to meet to exact specifications.

The benefits of a steel staircase for your business

Steel staircases offer a number of benefits in comparison to concrete or wooden options and in this article we thought we’d highlight some of the main benefits:

  • Low-maintenance: Unlike other materials, steel will resist rust, ensuring that it is very easy to maintain. This low-maintenance also ensures that steel is easy to keep clean and will resist damage or staining.
  • Simple installation: Steel staircases are built-off site, ready to be installed quickly and with the minimum of disruption, helping you to reduce the cost of a building or refurbishment project.
  • Strength: steel is extremely strong and this is why it is used extensively in the building industry. Steel’s unbeatable strength makes it the ideal choice for staircases and in comparison to wood or concrete is hard to beat in industrial or commercial settings.
  • Durability: Quite simply, steel staircases last for many decades without loss of durability. Whilst wood can be affected by rot or insects and concrete can crack or become chipped, a steel staircase will look as good as the day it’s installed for many years to come.
  • Malleability: Not only is steel strong, it is also very malleable and can be moulded in a wide range of shapes and designs. Perfect for creating spiral or decorative staircases, steel offers the ideal way to create a unique, robust design feature.

The incredible sustainability of steel

/in /by

Over recent decades steel has become the mail building for a whole range of buildings, from homes, schools and offices, through to warehouses and factories. Steel is not only leading the way in terms of efficient, low-cost construction, it is also becoming widely recognised as a sustainable, eco-friendly building material.

Steel manufacturing and construction industries have long been advocates of improving and implementing environmental practices. From almost limitless recyclability, through to safe off-site prefabrication and low carbon emissions, consideration for the planet is taken into account through the life cycle of steel.

Steel products designed, manufactured and installed by Steelwork Engineering

Although it takes huge amounts of energy and resources to produce steel, the steel industry has faced the challenge of creating a more sustainable future. New technology such as the electric arc furnace, which primarily uses recycled steel, has helped to reduce the use of natural resources such as coal and iron ore. Where steel is really helping to come into its own, though, is through sustainable construction:

  • It’s the superb recyclability of steel which puts it head and shoulders above other building materials. When you bear in mind that because over 650 million metric tons of steel are recycled each year, it’s pretty hard to beat in terms of sustainability.
  • Steel typically lasts far longer than other construction materials as it does not warp, twist or burn and will resist pests and water; which is why steel buildings last much longer than others.
  • Thanks to steel’s incredible strength-to-weight ratio, less building materials are required to build a structure designed to handle the same stress or load as other materials such as concrete or wood.

Steel fabricated buildings willsave time and help you cut costs

/in /by

Using fabricated steel is an increasingly popular way to construct a wide range of buildings. Structural steel offers a number of benefits including a reduction in costs and construction time and it’s benefits such as these which help to explain the increasing popularity of steel fabricated buildings.

Hassle-free steel construction

Steel is tough enough to withstand even the very worst of weather conditions and it’s this toughness which allows the construction of steel buildings to take place throughout the year. Steel is predictable and accurate, helping to reduce construction times in comparison to concrete framed buildings. Choosing a steel fabricated building will help you ensure your construction project is completed on time and on budget.

Adaptable places designed to adapt and grow

By using long span steel sections in building construction, large open-plan areas can be easily created, providing large spaces free from columns and which can be designed with flexibility in mind. This flexibility can help significantly extend the lifespan of a building, providing the option to change and adapt the space as your business grows and develops.

Steel fabricated buildings are built to last

Steel’s strength literally lies in its durability and because little or no maintenance is needed, using steel is a great way to ensure maximum value from your new structure, whilst ensuring any future costs are kept to an absolute minimum. Fabricated steel provides consistently high standards; guaranteeing strength, durability and precision in all locations – even the most challenging.
In comparison to concrete which can shrink or even move over time, steel fabricated buildings are built to last. Steel is extremely strong, which gives steel the ability to resist damage. In the unlikely event that repairs are required, they can be easily carried out, restoring the steel to its original strength.

What does steel fabrication mean?

/in /by

At Steelwork Engineering we often talk about steel fabrication in our blog posts. So with this in mind; we thought we’d take a closer look at what it means when we talk about steel fabrication.

Steel fabrication is the process used to manufacture a number of steel components which, once they have been assembled and joined together, form a complete steel frame. Steel frames can be made from either standard sized steel sections but if standard section sizes aren’t suitable, fabricated sections can be made instead.

The method used to fabricate steel sections has changed a great deal over the years. In the past a tape measure would be used but nowadays the majority of steel section manufacturers use computer aided design and detailing. Computer aided design (CAD) is software which is used to design each section; this software is linked directly to CAD controlled machinery on the factory floor. Not only does the use of CAD dramatically reduce manufacturing times, it also offers significant benefits in terms of quality and accuracy.

Steel fabrication services from Steelwork Engineering

At Steelwork Engineering we manufacture a wide range of steel portal frames, steel extensions and pitched roof buildings, delivered ready to be erected on site. Used for the construction of everything from small agricultural buildings through to shopping centres and industrial units, our steel fabrication services offer our customers reliability, quality and efficiency.

In addition to our steelwork fabrication and installation services, we also provide a design and build service. Steelwork Engineering’s design and service can help you make significant savings during the pre-build phase of your project. We have an experienced team of designers and draughtsmen have the expertise to design your building for you. In addition, because they are experienced in working with SES, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the relevant standards will be met.
