1. Superior structural performance

One of the most prominent advantages of steel structure workshops is its excellent structural performance. Steel has the characteristics of high strength and good toughness, and the ratio of density to yield strength is relatively low. This makes the steel structure smaller in cross-section and lighter in self-weight under the same stress conditions, but can withstand larger loads and deformations. Taking a large-span industrial workshop as an example, a steel structure can easily achieve a column-free space of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters to meet the needs of large-scale equipment installation and production processes, while a traditional structure needs to add a large number of beam and column supports to achieve the same span, which not only takes up space, but also affects the flexibility of the internal layout. At the same time, the good toughness of steel enables it to absorb energy through deformation when natural disasters such as earthquakes and strong winds occur, reducing the degree of structural damage and greatly improving the safety and reliability of the factory.

2. Efficient and convenient construction

The construction efficiency of steel structure factories far exceeds that of traditional buildings. Steel structure components are produced in a standardized manner in the factory, with high precision and stable quality. After production, they are transported to the site for assembly construction. This construction mode greatly reduces the amount of wet work on site, and there is no need to carry out long-term template erection, concrete pouring and maintenance processes like traditional concrete structures. Generally speaking, the construction period of steel structure factories of the same size is 30% - 50% shorter than that of concrete factories. The rapid construction progress can not only enable enterprises to start production faster and seize market opportunities, but also effectively reduce the costs of labor and equipment rental during construction. In addition, prefabricated construction has little impact on the surrounding environment and generates less construction waste, which conforms to the concept of green construction and can better meet the environmental protection requirements of urban construction and industrial development.

3. Flexible space utilization

The spatial layout of steel structure factories is very flexible. Due to the small cross-sectional size of steel structure components, more building space can be saved compared with traditional structures. Under the same building area, the internal space of steel structure workshop is more open, which is convenient for enterprises to adjust the internal layout at any time according to changes in production processes and equipment updates. Whether it is to redivide functional areas or add new production lines, it can be easily achieved. Moreover, steel structure workshops can also further improve space utilization by setting up mezzanines and other methods to meet the needs of enterprises for diversified functions such as warehousing and office, and reserve sufficient space for the future development of enterprises.

Fourth, obvious advantages in environmental protection and energy saving

In terms of environmental protection and energy saving, steel structure workshops perform well. Steel is a recyclable material. After the service life of the workshop ends, most of the steel can be recycled and reprocessed and put back into use. The recycling rate is as high as more than 90%, which greatly reduces the waste of resources and the pollution of the environment by construction waste. During the construction process, the energy consumption of steel structure workshops is also relatively low, and prefabricated construction reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions. In addition, steel structure workshops can also be combined with new energy-saving enclosure materials, such as using sandwich panels with good thermal insulation performance as wall and roof materials, effectively reducing the heating and cooling energy consumption of the workshop, achieving the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction, saving operating costs for enterprises, and contributing to the development of green buildings.

V. Convenient maintenance and transformation

The maintenance and transformation of steel structure workshops are relatively convenient. The surface of the steel structure is generally protected by anti-corrosion coatings. During the later maintenance, it is only necessary to regularly check the coating condition and repair the partially damaged coating. The maintenance operation is simple and the cost is low. When the enterprise needs to expand or renovate the workshop, the weldability and detachability of the steel structure make the transformation work relatively easy to implement. It is convenient to add or remove some structural components without affecting the stability of the overall structure, and can quickly meet the changes in the space requirements of the enterprise due to business development.
