Light Gauge Steel Structures: S&G Prefab's Modern Solution
Light Gauge Steel structures have become a significant field gaining popularity in the construction industry in recent years. S&G Prefab aims to be a pioneer in modern construction solutions in Global by offering these innovative structures.
The History of Light Gauge Steel Structures
Developed in the second half of the 1900s in Germany, Light Gauge Steel began to be used in the automotive and aviation industries and subsequently gained an effective area of use in the construction sector. While its initial use was limited to roofs, over time it has become preferred for various types of structures.
What are the reasons for choosing S&G Prefabric Production Processes?
n S&G Prefab designes tailor made purpose fit building for every project. Therefore, we listen our clients carefully, after we receive the basic information input from the client, such as approximate floor plans of each building, the exact location of the assembly site and etc, our highly experienced engineering team start studying on the project. Global building codes such as Eurocode and American Building Code take into consideration during the whole design process. We use globally accepted statical analyze softwares and in order to check the durability of each building toward wind loads, dead loads, Snow loads, and seismic loads, in 3D digital environment.
n Moreover, the material choice made according to our client’s needs. For example, if there is a higher fire resistance requirement for the project , we use A1 fire resistant ROCKWOOL insulated panels, or we can use aluminium frame windows instead of PVC ones if its required.
What are the Features of S&G Prefab's Light Gauge Steel Structures?
- Economic Cost: Low cost due to fewer equipment needs and the cold-forming method.
- Dimensional Stability: Stands out with its structure that does not rot, crack, or expand.
- High Durability: Strong resistance to earthquakes and high load-bearing capacity.
- Easy and Fast Installation: S&G Prefab's fast and re-installable systems.
- Environmentally Friendly: Less material usage and recyclable features.
- Low Risk of Human Error: Minimum error rate thanks to machine manufacturing.
What are the Application Areas of S&G Prefab's Light Gauge Steel Structures?
Effective use in roofs, mezzanines, industrial structures, partition walls, residential buildings, and educational/healthcare facilities.
What are the Differences Between Light Gauge Steel Structures and Heavy Steel Structures?
-
Galvanized coated steel: Galvanized coated steel is a material used to increase corrosion resistance. It is typically created by coating steel surfaces with zinc. This process makes the steel more resistant to environmental factors.
- The ease of transport of demountable structures is facilitated by the repeatability of the installation process. This feature provides a significant advantage when structures need to be relocated to different places or when usage requirements change.
- Eco Friendly Light Gauge Steel structures are environmentally friendly due to their recyclability and minimal waste generation during construction.
S&G Prefab has created an economical and environmentally friendly alternative by offering Light Gauge Steel structures as modern construction solutions. These innovative structures are revolutionary in the Turkish construction industry.
Approximate time table and loading information for Light Gauge Steel Prefabricated Building Systems
Light Gauge Steel prefabricated building systems designed to for fast assembly with few workers.Below article provides important insights about the shipping and assembly operation of Light Gauge Steel prefabricated building systems;
Manufacturing Process: After we agree about the designe of the related Light Gauge Steel prefabricated building with our valuable clients, it takes about 10 days to complete the engineering process of the building.After we receive the final approval on the manufacturing drawings of the related Project, it takes nearly additional 2 weeks to complete the manufacturing process and make it ready to load at our factory. (PS: Delivery terms will be clearified for each Project, above explanation is just a general estimation)
Foundation: During the engineering process of the Project, we will provide the drawing and technical data for concrete foundation for related Project.
Supervisor Service: We are able to sent our experienced supervisor team to assembly site in order to run the manpower of our clients during the assembly process.
Shipping: every 100m² part of related building can be considered to ship with 1pcs. Of 40ft HC, or 1 truck.For example, a Light Gauge Steel prefabricated building with 200m² of floor plan can be shippied by 2pcs. Of 40ft HC shipping container or 2pcs. Of trucks.
Assembly process: 1 semi-skilled worker can be considered to install 4m² part of the building per day.Therefore, it can be considered as 4 man would be able to complete the installation of a Light Gauge Steel prefabricated building with 100m² of area within about 7 workdays. The assembly process will be smoother with the help of 1 supervisor from our side.
Demounting and assembling of the buildings: There is no welding job neccessary with S&G’s Light Gauge Steel prefabricated building systems.It is designed to assemble with only bolts&nuts connections.Therefore, whole structure can be disassembled, transported and re-assembled at another location with minimum loss of materials.Moreover, we are able to sent our supervisors to make the relocation process of the buildings as easy as possible.Additionally, our after-sales team supports all of our clients throughout the World in order to improve our clients experiences.
