Steel is universally recognised to be one of the strongest and most durable building and construction materials available. However, steel often comes in a variety of different grades and alloys, each with unique properties and characteristics. Because of this, the world of steel can be confusing to navigate, especially for the uninitiated. In this post, […]
Parallel flange channels (PFCs) are a very commonly used structural support element in building and construction. Because of the important role that they play in helping to ensure that buildings remain structurally sound, it is crucial to ensure that they are well-maintained and protected from corrosion to ensure their longevity and structural integrity. In this […]
Universal columns are steel structural support beams that generally resemble the letter “H”. They are commonly used in building and construction projects to support vertical loads, and their strength and versatility have made them very popular. In this post, we take a closer look at some of the reasons why it is essential to properly […]
Modular construction is a modern and efficient building and construction technique that has gained popularity because of the convenience it provides. It generally involves the assembly of prefabricated sections that are built or manufactured in a factory off-site before being transported to the desired build location. Because it does not require significant construction work to […]
Universal steel columns are one of the most common types of supports used in structural engineering and they can be found in countless different construction applications. When using universal columns in your building or construction project, choosing the right size is essential for ensuring the structural integrity and efficiency of your finished structure. In this […]
