Prefabricated steel structure warehouse’s advantages

Prefabricated steel structure warehouse and concrete structure warehouse are two mainstream warehouse structures. As a basic storage facility, it is a place to store materials. For enterprises, which one is better for warehouse construction? Here we will introduce the difference between the two warehouses.

1.Prefabricated  steel structure warehouse construction period

The components of the steel structure warehouse are all prefabricated in the steel structure processing plant. The steel structure materials are directly transported to the construction site, and only need to be hoisted and spliced. Its construction is very fast, which can meet the needs of some owners to build warehouses urgently. Concrete warehouses require a large number of workers to work on site, and formwork needs to be done before reinforced concrete is poured. Not only does it take more than ten hours to solidify, but also 3 to 7 days of maintenance. Therefore, in terms of construction period, steel structure warehouse has obvious advantages.

2. Environmental protection

The steel structure warehouse adopts dry construction and can be operated without water throughout the process. Only a small amount of dust is generated, which can reduce the pollution to the environment and the impact on nearby residents. Concrete buildings need to use a lot of cement, sand, stones and water, which will generate a lot of dust and sewage. Compared with concrete structure warehouses, prefabricated steel structure warehouses have outstanding environmental protection advantages.

3. Construction cost

Prefabricated steel structure warehouse construction can use a lot of tools such as cranes and forklifts. It requires fewer workers and is more efficient than traditional concrete warehouses. Therefore, the construction cost and labor cost can be saved more. Building a steel structure warehouse is 2 to 30 percent lower than a traditional concrete building.

4. Prefabricated  warehouse Performance

The steel structure is light in weight, and the walls and roofs of the prefabricated steel structure warehouse are made of light metal building materials. Steel structure warehouses are much lighter than brick-concrete walls and concrete roofs, which can reduce the overall weight of the warehouse without compromising the stability of the structure.
