Construction: Buildings: Warehouse

The modern warehouse generally requires large areas or column free space for the flexibility to store a range of goods in different configurations. OneSteel provides a range of steel and concrete reinforcement products to enable the design and construction of such a facility.

Warehouses have traditionally been steel-framed buildings because of the inherent strength to weight ratio provided by steel. Steel portal frame buildings offer the tenant flexibility to modify the building without significant strengthening of the existing structure. New roller shutter doors, awnings and extensions to the building can be easily made to a steel portal frame building.

OneSteel can provide all the steel products and solutions from steel frames to a range of reinforcing solutions for the footings and slabs on ground, which are ideally and almost always, constructed using reinforced concrete. In recent times there has been a trend to build factory buildings with concrete tilt-up walls often supporting a steel roof. This type of construction is very economical if a fire rated boundary wall is required.
