The advantages of using structural steelwork

At Steelwork Engineering we supply all types of structural steelwork designed for use in buildings of all shapes and sizes; from small retail units and farm buildings, through to factories and warehouses. Steel offers a range of advantages when used in construction and with this in mind, we thought we’d outline the four main benefits that using such a versatile building material can bring:

1. Cost efficiency: steel is cheaper than it once was and thanks to significant advances in productivity and the supply chain, savings can be passed onto customers in the form of competitively priced steel products.
2. Fast construction: speed equals efficiency and cost savings and because steel structures can be erected so quickly, other trades are able to start work on site much sooner. In comparison to concrete framed buildings the savings steel offers are obvious and this is one of the many reasons steel is now so popular with the construction industry.
3. Health and safety: health and safety is, of course, of paramount importance in any construction project. Thanks to the off-site fabrication of steel components, along with quick on-site assembly, both help to make steel a safe construction material.
4. Durability: steel is exceptionally durable and because it doesn’t decay or age as quickly as other building materials, it lasts significantly longer before refurbishment is required. In addition, steel framed buildings can be easily adapted and extended, helping to avoid the associated costs of extensive building work.

Steelwork Engineering: experts in the design, manufacture and installation of steel buildings and structural steelwork

At Steelwork Engineering our expertise covers the design, manufacture and installation of all types of structural steelwork for buildings. In addition, we also design and manufacture architectural metalwork items, builders beams and steelwork refurbishment.

Installing a new staircase can help you maximise the space inside your business premises; helping you access currently unused areas. Whether installed as part of an extension project or in conjunction with mezzanine flooring, a steel staircase, rather than a traditional timber or concrete one, offers a robust and cost-effective solution. Steel staircases offer several advantages so we thought we’d run through some of the main benefits.

Fuss-free installation and lower costs

The fabrication process used to manufacture steel staircases is very flexible which means that they can be designed and built to fit buildings of any size or shape. Furthermore, once a steel staircase has been built, the installation process is quick and simple, leading to a reduction in costs.

When it comes to maintenance steel staircases offer a clear advantage over timber staircases in particular, as no painting, staining, varnishing or sealing is required. In addition, because they are resistant to fluctuations in temperature they won’t warp or twist. Lastly, steel staircases will never succumb to woodworm or rot and because the steel is pre-treated, there’s no danger of corrosion or rust.

Bespoke staircase designs tailored to meet to your requirements

Unfortunately there’s a misconception that a steel staircase will look very ‘industrial’ but this is not the case. As steel is incredibly versatile, steel staircases can be designed to look traditional, grand or stylishly simple. Whether you’re looking for a staircase to give your premises that wow factor, or are looking for a heavy duty, practical staircase, steel offers the ideal solution.

Steel fabrication and design services from Steelwork Engineering

Although you might not realise it, metal fabrication is everywhere plays an essential role in how we live our day-to-day lives.

Without metal fabrication things would be very different indeed as it is used in everything from construction and farming, through to factory assembly lines, hospital equipment and computer network servers.

In fact, you could say that metal fabrication has shaped the world as we know it! The history of metal fabrication is a very long one, dating as far back as ancient societies such as the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. Historians have discovered that there’s a clear link between the success of a particular civilisation and the point at which they realised that metal ore could be forged and fabricated into weapons, tools or even simple machinery. As the centuries have passed and civilisations have developed, the use for metals has risen dramatically, leading directly to the seismic changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution which began in the 17^th century.

From the car in your drive through to your office building, metal fabrications are everywhere. Although metal has been used in building and manufacturing for hundreds of years, the way it has made has changed beyond all recognition.

Architectural metalwork products designed to meet your individual requirements

Steelwork engineering we have decades of experience in the design, manufacture and installation of a full range of high quality architectural metalwork products. From canopies and staircases, through to balconies and walkways, we provide durable, cost-effective solutions for building and refurbishment projects of all sizes.

Reliable and safe installations

All of our products are manufactured off-site in on our state-of-the-art Yorkshire manufacturing facility. Once all components have been made, they are delivered ready to be assembled. This not only does this help to cut on-site costs, it also helps to ensure site safety and that construction time is kept to an absolute minimum.

Our installation team have a combined experience of 100 years in all aspects of steel erection, covering a range of diverse and challenging projects. They’ll use their expertise to ensure the construction phase runs as smoothly as possible without compromising on quality and safety.

Help your business to grow by maximising the space you have

We provide a high quality service and architectural products which could help you maximise the space you have. Mezzanine flooring, for example, offers a great way to maximise storage space whilst keeping costs to a minimum, whilst walkways and gantries will provide easy access to raised storage areas.

Steel construction offers a cost-effective approach to creating new buildings or building extensions, ensuring you make the most of space without the cost of moving to a larger premises. We’ll use our expertise to design creative solutions, specially developed to meet your requirements and help your business to grow.

Steel – the four reasons it should be part of your construction project

Here at Steelwork Engineering we have decades of experience in the supply of all types of structural steelwork for use in buildings of all shapes and sizes; from large industrial units, commercial buildings and warehouses, through to small agricultural buildings.
