Why Use STRUCTURAL STEEL?

Steel construction has so many advantages: the strength to weight ratio is excellent, metals join easily, efficient shapes are available, etc. With those advantages, though, come some challenges that are best solved by a good understanding of how the metals actually perform in a structure.

For most larger buildings, metals are a key element of the structural system. Steel beams and columns, steel joists, steel studs, aluminum framing are a few examples of metal construction. A wise Superintendent understands not only how to erect the structure, but also the basics of how the structural system works and the ways in which it fails.
