Experienced Steel Framed Industrial Buildings Contractors In Cheshire
Steel framed buildings are excellent for industrial use along with equestrian and agricultural purposes. One of the biggest benefits is its exceptional strength and durability.
Steel is incredibly robust, providing high structural strength, so this type of building is an excellent long-term investment. This material has been through various technological advancements and innovations over thousands of years.
Steel has been used since the Iron Age when it was produced through a process called smelting, extracting iron from its ores using heat.
Steel also has an important history here in Britain. During the Industrial Revolution, the English inventor Henry Bessemer developed a revolutionary method for mass-producing the material, The Bessemer process. This involved blowing air through molten pig iron to remove impurities, creating high-quality steel more efficiently than earlier methods. He played a significant role in establishing the town of Sheffield, nicknamed ‘Steel City,’ as a major industrial centre.
Although the initial cost of steel might be higher than some other materials, its robustness means that maintenance costs over the course of the building’s lifespan will be low.
In industrial settings where safety, strength and adaptability are critical, steel-framed buildings offer a robust solution that can accommodate the demanding requirements of such environments.
These buildings can be constructed quickly if needed.
Our contractors are able to construct steel framed industrial buildings anywhere in Cheshire, and nationwide, quickly, and efficiently, while keeping costs to a minimum.
Indeed, speed of construction is another big advantage of this type of building. Prefabricated steel components can be manufactured off-site, therefore reducing on-site construction time. This quick assembly is advantageous in meeting tight industrial project deadlines. With over 30 years in this industry, your project is guaranteed to be in safe hands.
Work with a talented design team to customise your building.
Steel allows for versatile designs, enabling customisation to meet specific industrial or commercial needs. As you will see from our previous projects, our contractors have created all kinds of steel framed buildings across Cheshire and elsewhere nationwide.
Our customisation options include:
Steelwork being shot blasted and painted or galvanised to your specification.
Cladding in a variety of specifications, styles, and colours
When you have a steel frame, it is easy to create large spaces without the need for columns. This allows for more flexible layouts for your machinery and operations.
Discuss your ideal design with our experts in Cheshire.
AC Jackson will always discuss potential designs in-depth, including helping with the completion of planning drawings and provide detailed drawings. This will allow our engineering department to produce the steel work to your exact specifications.
Did you know that steel is resistant to environmental factors like fire, termites, and mould?
Such qualities can be crucial for industrial settings, where safety and reliability are paramount. Steel structures have a longer lifespan compared to other building materials. They are less prone to ageing-related issues like rot or decay, maintaining their integrity over time.
Improve your green credentials with our steel-framed buildings.
Steel is highly recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice. Its recyclability reduces the environmental impact of construction and contributes to sustainability goals.
This is one of the most recycled materials on the planet. Steel can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality or strength, making it a very sustainable material. The process involves melting down the steel scrap to create new products, reducing the need for raw materials and saving energy compared to producing steel from scratch.
AC Jackson covers all parts of the process, from the design and fabrication through to the installation.
During the fabrication process we are always happy to offer a free no obligation quotation and initial site visit.
Our contractors always create UKCA Marked Buildings which means they are designed and constructed to the finest standards.
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is a new product marking used in the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, and Wales.
It is used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain after Brexit. Buildings and certain construction products used in buildings will require the UKCA mark to demonstrate conformity with the relevant UK standards and regulations.
This marking is intended to replace the CE marking for products sold in Great Britain after Brexit.
All our constituent products (such as steel beams, bolts etc) along with fabricated elements and systems are made from UKCA Marked products.
