Building Strong, Reliable Structural Steel Platforms
November 9, 2015Anyone who has ever worked in an industrial facility has almost certainly noticed that space is typically at a premium. Between industrial equipment, materials, inventory, and supplies, and the need for open workspace, it is crucial that every foot be put to good use. One extremely effective method of doing this is through the use of structural steel platforms. These platforms can radically improve the amount of accessible space in any given structure to maximize the vertical uses of a building rather than just the horizontal.
What Is a Structural Steel Platform?
These types of platforms are modular structures which extend upwards primarily rather than horizontally. They often included walking surfaces and stairways in order to provide spaces where things can not only be stored easily but also accessed quickly. Being of a modular construction, these platforms are usually constructed in a specialized fabrication facility and then moved and assembled onto the specified site. STI Group provides a range of options for strong, reliable structural steel platforms. These structures are often applied in settings such as the following:- Oil Rigs - Off-shore rigs recovering oil usually have enormous horizontal area spaces on which structural platforms can be utilized perfectly to double or even triple the available space.
- Warehouses - Buildings can only be so big. Using structural steel platforms in a warehouse dramatically increases storage capacity.
- Construction Sites - Structural steel platforms make it easier to access structures that are higher and provide a secure, reliable workspace.
- Factories - Different areas of work can be both separated and utilized more fully by the introduction of structural platforms, which can make a world of a difference in providing more functional space.
