Frequently Asked Questions

What does modular structural building mean?

A modular structural building is assembled into several independent spatial units or modules. Building components and equipment are pre-assembled and installed in factories, and then these modules are transported to the construction site for assembly.

What are the advantages of steel structure industrial work platforms?
  • High strength and load-bearing capacity: Steel is strong and stiff and can withstand large loads, ensuring the safety of the work platform during use.
  • Light dead weight and large span: Steel's relatively low density makes it lighter than concrete and other materials. At the same time, it can be used in trusses, beams, etc., to realize the design of large spans, reduce the intermediate support, and expand the working space.
  • Fast construction and easy installation: Steel structure components can be prefabricated in the factory and assembled at the site, improving production efficiency and shortening the construction period.
  • Corrosion-resistant and long service life: Hot-dip galvanizing, painting, and other surface treatment processes can effectively improve the corrosion-resistant property of the steel structure and prolong the service life.
  • Variety of modeling, beautiful and generous: steel has good plasticity, so it is possible to design various kinds of steel structure working platforms with beautiful modeling that aligns with industrial aesthetics.
  • Repeatable and reusable: the steel structure working platform can be disassembled, which is convenient for relocation and reuse and reduces the waste of resources.
  • Adaptable and safe: steel structure working platforms can be customized according to different usage needs to meet various special requirements.
What is a space truss structure? What kind of buildings is it usually applied to?

A space truss structure is a three-dimensional truss system of interconnected space rods. These rods (usually steel tubes or profiles) are connected through the nodes to form a rigid frame. Compared with flat trusses, space truss structures have a higher load-bearing capacity, are more stable, and can withstand loads from all directions. Due to their unique advantages, space truss structures are usually used in large-scale buildings such as stadiums and exhibition tubes, industrial buildings such as factories and warehouses, and other construction fields.

What is the purpose of modular structures, and where are they used?

Modularity is a design principle whereby a system or product is broken down into relatively independent modules or components; each module is responsible for a specific function or task. These modules can be developed, tested, maintained, and replaced individually, or they can interact with each other through clearly defined interfaces. Modularization aims to improve the system's maintainability, expandability, and reusability.

How should standard portal rigid frames be maintained?

As an important load-bearing component of buildings such as industrial plants and warehouses, maintaining standard portal frames is essential to ensure structural safety and prolong service life. General maintenance requires attention to regular inspection, cleaning, regular inspection of bolt welds, and corrosion prevention. The maintenance cycle length depends on the environment of use, the size of the load, and the anti-corrosion measures. Generally, in industrial environments, a thorough inspection should be conducted at least once a year, and a maintenance program should be developed accordingly based on the inspection results.

What are the design process and construction steps for steel structure projects?

Design process:

  1. Pre-engineering stage: determine project requirements and conduct a feasibility study and preliminary design, including analysis and planning of building type, function, and layout.
  2. Structural design: according to the architectural design plan, determine the type, arrangement, and form of the structure and carry out structural calculation and analysis, including static, dynamic, and stability analysis.
  3. Material selection: The appropriate type and specification of steel should be selected according to the structure's requirements and load conditions.
  4. Component design: According to the structural calculation results and construction requirements, design various components, including columns, beams, trusses, etc., and carry out strength checking and structural design.
  5. Connection design: Design all kinds of connection nodes, including welding, bolting, and riveting, to ensure that the connections of members are firm and stable.
  6. Detailed design: Design the details of the structure, including rigid connections, supporting devices, anti-corrosion measures, and fire prevention measures.
  7. Structural optimization: optimize the design of the structure, including reducing structural weight and improving structural rigidity and seismic performance.
  8. Construction drawing design: Based on the structural design results, make detailed construction drawings, including plan views, elevations, sections, etc.
  9. Preparation of construction specifications: Formulate construction specifications and acceptance standards for steel structure projects to ensure construction quality and safety.
  10. Preparation of construction program: Prepare a construction program for a steel structure project, including a construction sequence, construction methods, and safety measures.
  11. Review and audit: review and audit the design drawings, specifications, and programs to ensure the rationality and feasibility of design and construction.
  12. Cost control: Control and calculate the cost of a steel structure project to ensure its economy and feasibility.
Construction steps:
  1. Preparation work includes site investigation, site leveling, and construction water and electric equipment preparation.
  2. Foundation construction: including excavation of foundation pit, earth backfill, foundation pouring, etc.
  3. Steel processing: cutting, bending, drilling, and other processing of raw materials to make components.
  4. Component production: the processed steel components are welded, bolted, etc., and made into parts.
  5. Installation of components: install the steel components into the corresponding position and fix and connect them.
  6. Welding: Carry out the welding process on the components to ensure that each component is firmly and stably connected.
  7. Anti-corrosion and fireproof treatment: Carry out anti-corrosion and fireproof treatment on the steel structure to improve its service life and safety performance.
  8. Construction acceptance: Carry out construction acceptance of the steel structure to check whether the construction quality and safety measures meet the requirements.
  9. Installation of equipment: according to the design requirements, install the equipment on the steel structure and carry out debugging and operation.
  10. Completion acceptance: Carry out completion acceptance of the whole steel structure project and check whether the project quality and various indexes meet the requirements.
  11. Finishing up and closing down: clean up and organize the construction site and keep the environment tidy and safe.
  12. Project delivery: deliver the steel structure project to the owner, carry out handover procedures, and archive the data.
