Stainless steel construction - Import export

The design of steel buildings is influenced by many factors, including new requirements for sustainability, and thermal and acoustic performance. The pressure for more efficient and sustainable construction processes to meet these requirements has led to a demand for higher ratios of off-site fabrication and improved quality in the performance of the chosen construction technology. Steel construction have reached a high market share in not only industrial buildings but also residential and commercial buildings, where the main advantages include: construction pace, high quality, reliability and longevity, and space usage. The majority of structural steelwork is manufactured in the steel contractor’s workshops with very little on site work required which leads to fast construction times. Unlike concrete, steel frames gain full strength when their fabrication is completed, allowing the following construction trades to continue.

Stainless steel is a very common material to use in fabrication projects, thanks to its versatility and durability, among others. Stainless steel possesses high good corrosion resistance which makes it the primary option for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, petrochemicals and machinery.The versatility of stainless steel requires different fabricating techniques. Stainless steel is a sensitive material which requires delicate weld preparation practices such as thorough surface preparation prior to commencement of welding. Shoddy surface cleaning may compromise the material features such as corrosion resistance. Stainless steel has definite advantages over other metals and, it’s one of the most expensive metal. This high cost puts additional pressure on fabricators to be more careful in fabrication processes. Stainless steel should be fabricated in a specialized clean workshop to prevent contamination. Also it required specialist steel contractors
