Steel Structure Repair

Steel Structure Repair:

After the steel construction projects have completed the installation, to better extend the service life of the steel structure, it is necessary to understand the maintenance method, which includes what should be stored and the frequency of maintenance. But do not worry, because repairing a metal structure is easier, faster, and cheaper than other buildings! Let’s find out which areas should be kept below.

Maintenance of steel structure:

1. Check the components of the metal structure:

Steel structures are an integral part of the prefab metal structure, and it is important to check the components of the steel structure. Because you need to identify problems and fix them before they get worse, to avoid side effects, it is recommended that you inspect all parts of the metal structure once a year, which may be spring or autumn. The inspection should ensure that the structure of the metal structure is normal, without movement or movement, and there is no damage. Extreme weather or unforeseen accidents may damage the building. If a building encounters a severe storm, please immediately inspect any damage, such as holes or holes in the metal structure.

During the repair and inspection of the steel structure, each inspection and maintenance should be recorded, especially recording the date of the inspection, any reviews or repairs made, and any problems that occurred. This will be much easier in future tests and comparisons.

2. Repair damage:

In the process of repairing a steel structure, we should repair any damage as soon as possible. Minor problems will gradually become major problems if they are not addressed in a timely manner, which increases the cost of maintenance. For example, a scratched panel should be painted as soon as possible to avoid rust. Otherwise, the rust will spread quickly. It would be better if we could find the cause of the scratch. Also cleaning out foreign objects that may damage the structure, such as nearby branches. In addition, metals, such as rivets, screws, and nuts, should be inspected regularly. Check that the bonds are loose and tight. If the connectors are damaged or worn out, replace them with new ones.

3. Avoid the dangers of water leaks in the metal structure:

Whether liquid, solid, or evaporation, water wreaks havoc on all types of metal structures. Because moisture can cause rust, mold, and foundation damage. Therefore, when performing maintenance and inspection of a steel structure, please pay special attention to leaky areas and repair them immediately. Heavy rain near the foundation of the steel structure will be degraded by moisture. We can add drainage pipes, ground pipes, or overhangs to remove water from the base. If your steel structure is located in a snowy area, please consider installing an A-shaped roof. The roof should have straight panels so that rain will flow out of the roof. If snow accumulates on the roof of a metal structure, the weight may damage the roof panel. If the correct method is adopted, the steel structure adjustment is straightforward.

4. Maintaining a metal structure to maintain a clean environment:

Once it has been determined that there is no problem with water leaks in the wall and the roof panel, the panel should be cleaned once a year. Although mainly for aesthetic purposes, it can also clean dirt and the utility to prevent stains and stains. When cleaning, you should use a low pressure water gun and a mild detergent.

5. Keep the drainage pipe clean:

The drainage pipe ensures that the water in the building is not disturbed. Therefore, we should check the suction pipe regularly. If the pipe meets any or all of the blockages, water may seep into the metal structure and cause rust and mold to form. Please check that the drainage pipe is not blocked by leaves, branches, dust, or any other debris; you can clean it yourself or let the carpenter fix it. Regularly clean the drainage pipe and drainage pipe to avoid unnecessary problems — plumbing problems.

Regular inspection and maintenance of the steel structure is useful because by spending very little time and money on repairs, the entire project can last decades of safe service life.
