As part of a worldwide trend, Australia has seen a positive shift toward the use of composite steel in multi level buildings. Multi level steel construction is not only cost effective; it is faster and safer to use. Composite Steel has widespread use in multi level buildings throughout the world including the US and UK.
Benefits of structural steel high rise construction:
At Steel Fabrications Australia we have expanded our infrastructure and capacity and have invested in advanced tracking technology that gives us the leading edge to service the multi-level high-rise industry.
Benefits of structural steel high rise construction:
- Earlier Occupation - Fit out of the lower levels can commence much sooner because with structural steel construction propping of the formwork is not required. With steel construction much of the work on site can proceed simultaneously. Early occupation means quicker returns on your investment.
- Reduced Risks - With structural steel construction there is reduced exposure to onsite risks due to off site fabrication, a smaller on-site work force, and reduced delays due to weather, less truck movements and on site congestion.
- Larger Column Free Space - The long spanning capability of structural steel means more column free space. Architectural freedom is provided with the smaller columns and enhanced space that is typical of a steel building.
- Future Proof Investment - It is easier to make major changes to a building that has been constructed using structural steel. Beams and columns can be strengthened to take extra loads; new floor penetrations can be easily installed. Steel offers a light weight 'add a top' frame, which makes it an ideal construction method for expanding buildings in any direction.
- Advanced Technology - Advances in computer aided design and drafting coupled with computer controlled fabrication has improved the cost and speed of delivering fabricated steel.
- Sustainable Construction - Steel is 100% recyclable but more importantly it offers sustainability during the life of the building. Steel is long lasting and durable but it is also easily renovated or refurbished, simple to strengthen or modify and is easily extended, vertically or horizontally.
- Cost Effectiveness - The advanced technology, labour and time savings associated with steel construction make it an extremely cost effective solution.
