Common questions
Are your towers bolted or welded?
Most towers are designed as galvanized bolted assemblies, which ship efficiently and avoid site welding. Welded sections are used where the design or interface requires them.
Can a grain or fertilizer store be designed with retaining walls in steel?
Yes. We design steel push walls, girts and columns to resist lateral pressure from bulk material, and coordinate with concrete wall options where the stored height or product makes that more suitable. The storage height, material type and filling pattern need to be defined at the start.
Can long trusses be shipped internationally?
Yes. We design trusses with bolted or welded site splices at positions that suit container or break-bulk transport. Shop trial assembly confirms fit before segments are separated and shipped.
Can modular buildings be used in seismic regions?
Yes. We design the lateral system and inter-module connections for the project seismic requirements, applying AISC 341 and AWS D1.8 provisions where specified.
