Steel Buildings
Have you ever wondered how steel buildings are manufactured? The process is both complicated and precise. The creation of a steel building is surely an awesome combination of engineering, draftsmanship, ingenuity, teamwork, knowhow and metal building manufacturing expertise. Each building receives the most care and attention through the entire manufacturing process, manufactured by experienced craftsmen and watched over by way of a dedicated staff of professionals from beginning to end. Precision engineering, machinery and components plus exceptional qc yield a precision high quality manufactured product.
Steel Buildings
Once a customer has got a new pre-engineered steel building or metal building system, their salesman, who performs multiple functions to build consultant, building designer, technician and estimator, forwards the purchaser's order towards the steel building factory. In the top metal building factories, the factory itself fabricates all required building components internally. Like that, all components are compatible and match easily at work site without surprises and no awaiting components to come from different suppliers.
In the steel building factory, your order entry department oversees an order from beginning to end, when your order is received before the steel building is shipped. Steel building factory staff verifies all design codes, snow and wind loads and seismic information to make sure that everything complies using the purchaser's contract and enters an order into scheduling software to make sure that the buildings manufacture is efficiently managed.
Pre-engineered steel buildings engineers lead to optimization from the steel building, each engineer certified by the state where the building will probably be constructed. Building details including snow and wind loads and seismic information is input into a professional metal building software program that generates engineered shop drawings for that framing from the building as well as other drawings necessary for the buildings manufacture and construction.
The metal building factory's pre-engineered steel building engineers assess the building drawings and check purchasing order again for accuracy. Permit drawings are generated that can be used to assist secure permits to erect your building.
Actual building production starts off with the input of creating specifications into CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinery, a procedure that requires the use of computers to regulate machines programmed with CNC machining language (G-code). The CNC machinery controls all machine features including feeds and speeds.
Components of steel buildings, such as I-beams, gutters and down spouts, sidewalls and end wall panels, and even standing seam roofs are systematically stated in designated areas called "lines" through the entire metal building factory. Each manufacturing line completes a specific function, automated by use of conveyors that move the steel sheeting, I-beams and fabricated metal components from station to station. Since each steel building is manufactured to buy, building components are produced as needed to fulfill each steel buildings exact specifications.
The manufacture of steel buildings rafters and columns begins with the Plasma Table. The Plasma Table cuts the net, the middle of the rafter or column (like the center of the letter "H"). The net moves to a holding station waiting to maneuver by automated conveyor to the station the location where the web will be tack-welded to the flange.
The flange machine cuts flanges into specified lengths based on the pre-engineered buildings specifications from steel bar stock. After cutting, the flanges go on to a holding station waiting to maneuver by automated conveyor for the station in which the flanges is going to be tack-welded to the web prior to going through the automatic welding machine.
Certified welders tack-weld flanges and webs in place to form rafters and columns. The tacked rafters and columns move by conveyor to the PHI machine. At the PHI machine, a computerized welding process fuses the internet and flange materials, permanently welding the flanges to the web. A Welding Inspector checks all welds to make sure that strict AISC standards are met.
Roof and sidewall panels are fabricated from steel sheeting. Large coils of metal sheeting are put in the machine called an "uncoiler" which passes the sheeting through another machine called a "straightener" that straightens the sheet. The straightened sheet is die cut and passes by way of a roll former to provide the straightened sheet the design of roof or sidewall sheeting. As with all machinery inside the steel building factory, computers are feeding information for the metal corrugation machine creating the exact specifications for each and every building.
Sophisticated machinery on the Trim Line automates the method where custom trim is formed and ensures exact bends and ideal angles. Starting with a coil of steel attached to an uncoiler, the steel passes by way of a straightener to a group of ten roll formers that from the shape of each trim and make all trim components: rake trim, corner trim, jamb trim, head trim, base trim, eave trim, rake angle, base angle, gutter straps, downspouts and gutters.

Out in the yard the Staging Department gathers all of the steel building components and thoroughly loads them onto trucks to provide your building to the job site. Special attention is offered for the List of materials making certain every order is finished and accurate. The Traffic Office handles the shipment of every building, scheduling trucks and coordinating buildings to get to the job site promptly in which the erection crew is waiting for delivery.
