UNA steel structure workshop is a building where the primary load-bearing frame is made of steel components, including columns, vigas, armadura, and bracing. These structures are popular for their strength, durabilidad, velocidad de construcción, and large, open-span interiors. The construction process is a blend of off-site precision manufacturing and on-site assembly.
Steel Structure Workshop Construction Process
The entire process can be divided into six main phases:
Fase 1: Pre-Construcción, Planificación, and Design
Fase 2: Construcción de cimientos
Fase 3: Fabricación de componentes (Off-Site)
Fase 4: On-Site Erection and Installation
Fase 5: Cladding, Roofing, and Building Envelope
Fase 6: Interior Works, Egluce, and Final Handover
Fase 1: Pre-Construcción, Planificación, and Design
This is the most critical phase, as all subsequent work depends on the decisions made here.
1. Initial Requirements & Feasibility:
Client Consultation: The process begins with understanding the client’s needs: the workshop’s purpose (p.ej., fabricación, warehousing, reparar), required internal dimensions (longitud, anchura, eave height), and special requirements like overhead cranes, specific floor loads, or large door openings.
Presupuestación & Selección del sitio: A preliminary budget is established. The chosen site is evaluated for accessibility, utilidades, and ground conditions.
2. Encuesta del sitio & Geotechnical Investigation:
Topographical Survey: A licensed surveyor maps the site’s boundaries, elevation, and existing features.
Geotechnical Report: A geotechnical engineer drills boreholes to analyze the soil’s composition, la fuerza, and load-bearing capacity. This report is essential for designing the correct type of foundation.
3. Diseño Arquitectónico y Estructural:
Diseño arquitectónico: An architect creates the overall layout, floor plans, elevations, and appearance of the workshop.
Structural Engineering: A structural engineer performs the core design work. Using software like STAAD.Pro or SAP2000, they:
