The demands of contemporary logistics call for the provision of large-scale, uninterrupted areas that enable the deployment of automated sorting systems, high-density racking solutions, and the movement of forklifts.
Large Span Capabilities
Steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio in contrast with concrete construction which needs frequent internal load-bearing columns. This permits the design of clear-span buildings over 60 meters, without any internal column, which enables maximal usability of the floor area and lean inventory workflows.
Climate and Hazard Resilience
Thanks to high quality anti corrosion surface treatment and galvanization, steel warehouses nowadays can endure very harsh weather. They have better resistances to:
Seismic Activity: Because steel is so ductile, it can safely bend during an earthquake rather than snapping and releasing that energy.
Extreme Wind and Snow Loads: Custom engineering allows these buildings to meet or exceed regional wind and snow load requirements.
Pest and Fire Risk: A non-combustible material that reduces the risk of fire and lowers the insurance premiums.
