Coating Costs for Steel Structure

space frame coal storage shed

The cost of coating steel structure is made up of a number of factors. These are:
1.The type of steel – size, shape, section.
2. The quantity of steel.
3. The location of the project with respect to the coating provider, the fabricator and the site.
4. The regional cost of labour.
5. The material cost (paint components/zinc/ chemicals).
6. The cost of surface preparation (abrasive lasting/chemical/mechanical).
7. The cost of application – number of coats, plant capability, processing time.
8. Logistic costs – inspection, loading, transport, erection.
9. Post erection costs – remediation of handling damage, on-site completion.
For applied coatings (paint, metallising) the surface area of the steel structure and the complexity of the fabrication will be the most significant factors influencing the cost. Logically, thin steel sections with high surface area per tonne will absorb more labour and materials than heavy structural sections.

Structure and form of space frame node

图片
  In the space frame structure, the joints connect members and transfer roof and crane loads, the grid is also part of the space bar system, and there are at least 6 or as many as 13 bars connected to a node. This makes node design more difficult. The number of nodes in the space frame is large, and the amount of steel used by the nodes accounts for 1/5~1/4 of the total amount of steel used by the whole space frame members. The reasonable design of nodes is directly related to the safety degree, fabrication and installation, project schedule, steel quantity index and project cost. Node design is one of the most important steps in space frame  design The node structure of the space frame  should meet the following requirements : (1)  Reasonable force, clear transmission force, be sure to make the node structure and the calculation assumptions conformed  as much as possible, make the node safe and reliable ; (2)  Ensure that the junction bar intersects at on...

Safety management method of space frame construction

图片
1.Provide safety education and training to workers and relevant safety management personnel before the construction of the space frame structure, complete technical safety disclosure, strengthen safety awareness and safety responsibility awareness; 2.When working at height, workers should be reminded to take protective measures, such as properly wearing safety belts and helmets; 3.In the cross work of network structure, communication should be done in advance without affecting each other and the work should be completed in an orderly manner; 4 . I n bad weather, can not construction do not construction, to ensure their own safety; LF is a professional manufacturer and engineering company for space frame and steel structure projects.Do you have a construction project we can help with?

Bulk method for installation of  space frame 

图片
The installation of the space  frame is done in bulk.The operation process is as follows: setting out, checking the line, installing the lower chord plane grid, installing the upper chord inverted triangle grid, installing the lower chord positive triangle grid, adjusting, fastening, welding and acceptance of supports, checking the concrete strength of the column top, checking the specimen report. After qualified, the line setting and acceptance of the column top can be carried out at high altitude. Installation method of space frame : Before the space frame assembly unit node, the parts must be checked repeatedly, and the Numbers should be put in the seat in order.After each unit node is assembled, the tightening degree of the bolt shall be checked with the afterhand.After a certain area is installed, the lower chord is supported with temporary support to correct its lower chord elevation.After the installation of the entire network, re-check the fastening bolts, and remove ...
