Are you looking for an effective and flexible solution for storing materials or starting industrial production? Our steel halls are an excellent alternative to building a new facility from scratch. Thanks to their quick production and easy installation, they are a convenient solution that will meet the requirements of both owners and employees. We offer steel halls in any shape, size and with the possibility of adding finishing elements that make them functional objects ready for use.

Individual Approach to Each Project

Each steel hall should be designed in accordance with specific requirements and purpose. Therefore, before starting the implementation, we carefully analyze the needs of our clients, as well as the location of the planned investment. Depending on the span and dimensions of the facility, we adapt the structural solutions to ensure optimal stability and functionality.

Structural Elements of Steel Halls

Our steel halls consist of several key elements that create a stable and durable structure. The most important of them include:

Finishing and Additional Options

For a steel hall to be fully functional, appropriate finishing is essential. We offer cutting and burning of sheet metal, precisely tailored to the requirements of the project. In addition, all structural elements can be painted or galvanized, which ensures their resistance to corrosion – especially in humid conditions or during precipitation. Our steel halls can also be equipped with openings for windows, gates, doors and skylights of individual dimensions and shapes.

Advantages of Our Steel Halls

Use of Steel Halls in Various Industries

Steel halls are widely used in many industries, such as food, automotive, chemical or warehouse. They are ideal for:

  • Production plants – after moving the appropriate machines, steel halls can function as a production plant

    Foundations are the basis of every stable structure, and their proper design and construction are particularly important in the case of steel halls. Foundations transfer loads from the structure to the ground, protecting the object from settling and potential damage. Errors in foundation design can lead to dangerous deformations, which is why it is so important for the foundations of a steel hall to be well thought out and adapted to the ground conditions. What steps should be taken to ensure safe foundation of such a structure?

    Foundation design – from ground testing to execution

    Preparing foundations for steel/warehouse halls requires precise geotechnical studies, which allow to determine the characteristics of the soil, its load-bearing capacity, the level of groundwater and its fluctuations. The results of these tests are the basis for deciding on the type of foundations – whether they will be direct foundations or deep foundation piles. The soil analysis also allows for an assessment of whether special protection against groundwater or drainage will be necessary.

    What requirements must hall foundations meet?

    Proper foundations should meet several key requirements:

    • Minimum settlement – for a steel hall to be stable, the settlement of the foundations must be uniform and as small as possible.
    • Protection against moisture – the foundations must protect the steel structure from moisture, which increases the durability of the facility.
    • Foundation below the frost zone – to avoid the risk of damage related to frost, the foundations must be placed at an appropriate depth.
    • Soil load-bearing capacity – the foundation of the hall must be made on soil with the appropriate load-bearing capacity, which often requires additional reinforcements or special foundation piles.

    The first step in building foundations is to make an excavation to the load-bearing soil layer, and then stabilize the bottom of the excavation with lean concrete. The next step is to lay the reinforcement, and then concrete the foundations, which are appropriately adapted to the requirements of the soil and the characteristics of the hall structure. In the case of soils with poor load-bearing capacity, deep foundations are used, including piles that reach stable soil layers. Additional protection against moisture is provided by an asphalt coating or high-tight concrete.

    Foundation cost for a steel or warehouse hall

    The cost of foundation construction depends on many factors, such as the size of the facility, geological conditions, and groundwater level. Low-bearing soil or high groundwater levels may require additional solutions, such as drainage or foundation piles, which increases investment costs. Nevertheless, properly designed and constructed foundations guarantee the stability and safety of the entire structure, making them an investment in the long-term durability of the facility.

    • Warehouses – the spaciousness and stability of the structure allow for the storage of materials and goods in appropriate conditions.
    • Production plants – after moving the appropriate machines, steel halls can function as a production plant
