Crafting Efficiency with Metal Buildings in a Rapidly Evolving Industrial Sector

In the rapidly evolving industrial sector, industrial metal buildings are increasingly recognized for their utility in fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly. At Armstrong Steel, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for every application. Our in-house design and engineering teams focus on your specific requirements to create custom prefabricated steel buildings that maximize space and optimize workflows and safety.

Designing and building for specific performance requirements

Our specialization lies in designing and constructing steel frames engineered for particular performance needs and unique applications. This allows us to provide reliable and cost-effective pre-engineered steel structures that meet the dynamic requirements of the industrial sector.

How we build metal buildings

At Armstrong Steel, we try to exceed traditional building standards by continuously refining our designs and paying meticulous attention to every component of our industrial metal buildings. This commitment has led to the development of a unique and robust building system that is backed by industry-leading warranties, including a 40-year paint warranty, a 35-year roof warranty, and a 50-year structural warranty.

Every industrial metal building we design is based on specific load-bearing requirements. Our engineers ensure that these buildings can endure strong winds, heavy rain, snow pressure, maintenance loads, and earthquakes. They take care of determining the building’s load-bearing capacity, strength, material thickness, and force transmission requirements.

Once the design is finalized, we customize the wall and roof components in-house. Our clients can choose to assemble our industrial metal buildings themselves or hire a trusted metal contractor. Our prefabricated building kits come with an easy-to-follow erection guide and detailed assembly drawings. Components are pre-cut, numbered, and ready for assembly, simplifying the setup process.

Keeping up with evolving industry requirements

The industrial sector is constantly evolving and is influenced by technological advances and expansion needs. Industrial metal buildings from Armstrong Steel are designed to adapt to these changing requirements.

Flexibility

Flexibility is one of the benefits of industrial metal buildings. At Armstrong Steel, we make them with minimal to no interior columns to allow flexible layouts you can modify as your business grows or needs change. This flexibility also enables the storage of oversized equipment and the creation of task-specific areas.

Energy efficiency

With rising energy costs, businesses are looking for ways to maximize profits while maintaining comfortable working environments. Industrial metal buildings are more energy-efficient than alternatives because they are easier to insulate. High-quality insulation makes these buildings more energy-efficient, reducing cooling and heating costs.

Fast installation

Traditional building materials can take months to construct, especially for industrial purposes. Our pre-engineered metal buildings, however, are designed to fit together seamlessly, speeding up assembly and reducing labor costs. The streamlined erection process (facilitated by comprehensive drawings and pre-punched connections) allows our customers to build and expand their industrial facilities more quickly.

Easy expansion

Industrial settings often require large, open interior spaces. Our pre-engineered industrial metal buildings are designed to span wide distances, outperforming traditional materials in this regard. This feature greatly simplifies future expansions. With our buildings, extending in length and width is straightforward. You can avoid the complexities and high costs associated with expanding conventional structures later on.

The design of our metal buildings also allows for easy adaptability to changing needs. This means that as your business grows or your space requirements evolve, your building can seamlessly grow with you.

Additionally, the process of expanding a metal building is not only simpler but also more cost-effective, offering significant savings in both time and resources compared to traditional expansion methods.

Low maintenance and durability

Industrial metal buildings are well-known for their exceptional durability. They robustly withstand severe weather conditions and natural disasters, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and costs. To enhance this durability, we traditionally apply Galvalume, a protective aluminum coating, to our roof panels. This coating effectively prevents rust and prolongs the lifespan of the buildings.

The inherent pest-resistant qualities of metal construction also eliminate the need for regular pesticide treatments and costly repairs typically associated with wood-destroying pests. This not only saves on maintenance expenses but also contributes to the overall structural integrity of the building over time. The combination of these features ensures that industrial metal buildings remain a durable, low-maintenance solution for industrial needs.
