Key Advantages of Steel Structures for Manufacturing: 1. Speed of Construction Prefabrication: The components (beams, columns, trusses) are manufactured off-site in a controlled factory environment. This allows for precise engineering and simultaneous site preparation (grading, foundations). Rapid Assembly: Once delivered, the pre-engineered steel components are bolted together on-site like a gian...
