Metal warehouse vs. traditional concrete warehouse?
As a primary storage facility, warehouses are classified according to the role of the warehouse in the process of goods movement or the characteristics of the goods. To meet the different demands imposed on the construction of prefabricated houses in the market, in recent years, more and more steel structure warehouse buildings are emerging, indicating that many contractors are abandoning the concrete structure construction model used for many years.
The construction of the steel structure homes in Ivory Coast is fast and the response to sudden needs is obvious, which can meet the sudden storage needs of the company.
The steel structure house is a dry construction, which has outstanding environmental protection advantages. It can reduce the impact of the project construction on the environment and nearby residents, which is better than the wet construction of reinforced concrete buildings.
Steel-frame homes can reduce construction costs and labor costs compared to traditional concrete warehouses. The construction cost of a steel-frame warehouse is 20% to 30% lower than the construction cost of a typical warehouse, and it is safer and more stable.
The steel structure in Ivory Coast is lightweight and the construction materials used in the walls and roof are much lighter than those of brick-concrete walls and clay roofs, which can effectively reduce the overall weight of the steel structure warehouse without compromising its structural stability. At the same time, it can also reduce the transportation cost of the formed components by off-site migration.
Metal warehouse vs. wood construction?
Cost-effectiveness
Steel construction is more affordable than wood construction.
Faster design and construction process.
If your warehouse plan is submitted to a structural steel fabrication company, the building will be pre-designed and fabricated by experts. This makes the entire process from start to finish more economical, resulting in ready-to-use steel building components that are shipped directly to the job site.
Because the warehouse is primarily prefabricated, construction time can be reduced by 30% to 50% or more depending on the experience level of the construction staff. Time is money, so the faster you can build, the less you spend on labor.
Reduce maintenance costs
Because of the low maintenance cost of steel structure, the building owner saves on general maintenance, repair and replacement over the life of the building.
Steel structures can withstand many common threats to wood, such as rot, mold, pests and fire. In addition, the carefully designed steel structure is more resistant to wind, snow and seismic activity. Therefore, steel structures can often be buildings that will not fall down after a typhoon. Typically, when the community needs an evacuation center in the event of a disaster, the city will turn to steel-framed gymnasiums, schools, and other municipal buildings, which they believe are the most reliable and resilient in the region.
Clear span
The fewer structural barriers the building requires, the more workspace you create for the business. Steel construction offers the largest clear architectural span on the market.
The warehouse span can exceed 60 meters. There is no need to install load-bearing columns or posts inside the building. It facilitates the placement of large-scale equipment and machinery, as well as vehicles and personnel to move safely within the structure.
Environmentally friendly
Eco-friendliness isn't just a trend. Data shows that building owners and customers purchasing products and services are increasingly demanding green buildings. The steel structure is a sustainable building product because it uses recycled materials at the production stage and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
Steel structure design and manufacture prefabricated steel buildings in Ivory Coast, which are used as warehouse, workshop and garage buildings.
