Global Steel Buildings CanadaWelcome to Hancock’s Timber Mart. Hancock’s is located in Forteau Labrador, the town whose name is derived from the French meaning ‘fort’ referring to the strong winds that come across the bay of this southern Labrador town. When looking for a Canadian steel building company Hancock’s partnered with Global Steel Buildings to design and erect a pre-engineered commercial steel building. Hancock’s Timber Mart recently procured a pre-engineered steel building measuring 80 ft by 200 ft by 18 ft to meet their storage requirements. To accommodate their operations and equipment four doors were installed measuring 18 x 14, 14 x 14 and two 3 x 7. The pre-engineered steel building is the largest building in the town of Forteau. Designed to withstand the harshest winters in CanadaWinter is the longest season in Southern Labrador, with abundant snowfall and strong winds. Global Steel Buildings designed this metal structure to withstand the high winds coming across the Atlantic Ocean. The pre-engineered building will withstand very high levels of snowfall, up to 100 lbs per square foot. Excellent warranty and return on investmentGlobal Steel Buildings delivered the building including roof insulation and all doors for under $15 a square foot. Global Steel Buildings excellent Canadian customer service team ensured that this project came with a warranty that is second to none in the industry. This project was delivered to Labrador from Global Steel Buildings a Canadian company that designs, engineers and manufactures 100 % canadian steel buildings. To create an appealing and inviting exterior, the building was finished in an antique linen colour with vibrant red trim. The large doors accommodate building supplies, vehicles and equipment keeping inventory protected from the weather and other elements.

Pre-Engineered Steel Storage BuildingGlobal Steel Buildings Owner Jim Busch partnered with Paulo Ventures to deliver two pre-engineered steel storage buildings to meet the stringent specifications and regulations required by the Province of Newfoundland Labrador for Newfoundland Power. This project presented logistical challenges due to location which were overcome by the superior customer service team at Global Steel Buildings Canada. Tender called for the delivery of two pre-engineered steel storage buildings designed to withstand the coastal climate of Labrador. Building one is located in L’Anse au Loup, the largest of a group of seven towns known locally as the Labrador Straits. This pre-engineered steel structure measures 20 ft by 33 ft by 11 ft and was designed for use as a storage building. The finished building features energy saving R20 roof and wall insulation which will lower ongoing operational costs for Newfoundland Power. Building two is located in Cartwight, a community located on the southern coast of Labrador. The pre-engineered steel building measures 11 ft by 33 ft by 11ft and operates as a storage facility for Newfoundland Power. The storage building features one main door and R20 roof and wall insulation which allows for longevity and performance in the sub-arctic climate. The erection process steel storage buildingPaulo Ventures team first laid the foundation which is key to ensuring the completed pre-engineered steel storage building is erected with ease. The building was then insulated and the wall panels were installed. The warranty offered by Global Steel Buildings on the panels and fasteners is second to none. Finally the trim and accessories including vents, doors and other options were installed. The final storage buildings are durable and energy efficient. An attractive addition to both small communities.

When it was time to build a new Community Centre, Chief Allan Gustafson and Council had a vision for a facility which would meet the needs of the entire community. Rengnal Construction partnered with Global Steel Buildings to deliver a new Multi-plex community centre pre-engineered steel building. Global’s quality steel pre-engineered steel buildings are built for the Canadian climate. Global Steel Buildings engineered a structure that was functional, aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient. Community Centre Project DesignThis project involved the erection of two buildings attached to create an accessible, functional multi purpose facility to serve the community. Building A measures 53 feet wide by 86 feet long with a height at the eaves of 22 feet and is a single slope rigid frame construction. The front side wall of building A attaches to building B which measures 82 feet wide by 69 feet long with a height of 12 feet at the eaves. Building B is a double slope rigid frame construction. Both buildings are clear span design, fabricated of galvalume roof sheeting and 24 gauge colored wall sheeting and feature multiple main doors and thermal windows. The Whitesands Community Centre is a 10,000 square foot building which was can withstand huge snow loads, an important factor for all construction in Northern Ontario. Designed for fire prevention, the Whitesands Community Centre has a fire wall construction and Roxul insulation which substantially reduces operating and insurance expenses. Looking for a solution which was cost-effective, pre-engineered steel was the natural choice. Pre-engineered steel buildings can be built 30% to 50% faster than buildings using more traditional materials and at a substantially lower cost. The clear span design allowed for the multi-purpose use of the building which houses a gym and recreational facility, kitchen, health and community programs, career training centre, educational and meeting facilities. Steel offers multiple benefits including cost, design and energy efficiency, and its impact on the environment is minimal, which was an important deciding factor for the Whitesand First Nation.

The post Benefits of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings for Agri-Storage appeared first on Global Steel Buildings Canada. from https://globalsteelbuildings.ca/pre-engineered-steel-buildings-agri-storage Clear span Steel Agricultural Building
Lazy Diamond Farms’ operations are focused on grain and oil seed production. Located in Blaine Lake Saskatchewan and originally founded in 1905, which was seven years before the town of Blaine Lake was incorporated. Lazy Diamond is a productive family farm with national distribution.
In 2016 Gerald Dagenais was looking to upgrade his facility. He turned to Global Steel Buildings to design and deliver a high quality and durable pre-engineered steel building for his operation. A quick return on investment was important to Dagenais, interrupting his operations for any length of time was not an option. A clear span steel agricultural building can be built 30 % faster then a wood pole barn. The average manufacturing time for a steel building is 8 weeks. Typical construction time is two months. The quick buil ding process made a steel building was the best choice for Lazy Diamond Farms. Every dollar counts when it comes to investing in infrastructure in farming. Pre-engineered steel offers savings from the start. Steel offers lower labour costs than traditional agricultural buildings. Global Steel Buildings Canada offers a single source by providing design, engineering, manufacturing. We can even facilitating installation if necessary. Gerald worked closely with Jim Busch, the owner and founder of Global Steel Buildings. Together they designed a clear span building measuring 80 feet wide by 120 feet long. At 26 feet tall the building was designed to house a five ton crane system. The design provides excellent access for the farm’s heavy equipment. Steel is easy to maintain and offers built in fire and weather proofing, a bonus for Lazy Diamond Farms. Resistant to mold and insect infestation, important considerations for a grain operation. If you need a wide space that is clear of posts and beams, then a clear span design is the choice. A clear span design is one that does not have supporting pillars like those found in pole buildings. A clear span building offers the most usable space and is ideally suited to farm operations to house livestock and heavy equipment. Other applications could include sports complexes, manufacturing, equestrian riding buildings and warehouse storage. Because they are pre-engineered, clear span steel agricultural buildings can be erected quickly. This is an important factor in the agricultural sector due to the seasonal nature of the business and it’s dependency on the elements. A prefab clear span steel farm is a great choice because it is built to last. A steel roof will typically last up to sixty years. While a steel building is low maintenance, keeping the roof free of debris and any dents or scratches caused by external forces taken care of. Clear Span Steel Buildings vs Clear Span Fabric BuildingsHoop buildings, quonset huts and rigid frame buildings are the styles that can become fabric covered buildings. LongevityFabric buildings drape a large piece of fabric over the frame of the building. The fabric is molded to each building frame and tightly attached. Fabric simply does not have the longevity afforded by steel. Fabric membranes can stretch, fade and rip. They will not withstand an extreme wind-load. A rip will expose the contents of your building to the elements. Clear span steel buildings are designed to last for decades. Unlike fabric it is fire resistant. Steel will not warp, rip or decay. Ease of Erection ProcessA clear span steel building can be erected quickly. Depending on your experience it could be a matter of days before your building is operational. Because the components arrive pre-cut and pre-drilled the process is streamlined and efficient. You will need an experienced installer for a fabric building. Save money by erecting your clear span steel building with your own crew. Price PointWhile a clear span steel building will be priced higher than a clear span fabric building, the steel option will last decades longer than the fabric counterpart. Your steel building will be resistant to termites, the elements and mold. Insurance costs are often lower for a steel building. Over time you will save on energy costs and overall operating expenses. A clearspan tent is a great option for a temporary building but if you want a building built to last steel is your best bet. Able to withstand heavy snow loads steel will outperform a clearspan tent in all weather. A clear span steel building can be insulated while a plastic or fabric hoop building cannot.

Various other secondary steel components, such as bracing, flange braces, are also added to stiffen/ strengthen the structure. Pre-engineered steel building, also known as pre-engineered metal buildings or engineered metal buildings, are designed based on the customer’s requirements, building use, location. Design considerations for steel buildings include clear span distance, bay spacing, roof slope and orientation, collateral loads, local climatic loading, special deflection criteria requirements. Through detailed design and planning, pre-engineered steel buildings provide a much lighter overall building, up to 15-30% lighter, which results in a more economical building solution. Pre-engineered steel structures are economical and suitable for many applications. Pre-engineered steel buildings are used extensively in industry, agriculture, recreation, forestry, air hangars and commercial and retail construction. The use of pre-engineered steel reduces erection time and delivers better quality assurance under all weather conditions.

The post Pre-engineered Metal Buildings – Reliable and Durable appeared first on Global Steel Buildings Canada. from https://globalsteelbuildings.ca/pre-engineered-steel-buildings-construction-services Why are Global Steel Buildings superior to wood pole barns and wood pole buildings?
Roof
Global Steel Buildings
Global Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings kits consist of maintenance-free AZ55 Galvalume®. AZ55 which consists of 55% aluminum, 44% zinc and 1% silicon.
Wood Pole Barns
Wood pole barns typically offer only a 15 year guarantee on the roof sheeting. In most cases wood pole barn buildings only use sheeting with a zinc coating that eventually will oxidize, fade then rust.
Fasteners
Global Steel Buildings
Our capped fasteners are stainless steel. They won’t rust and includes a lifetime warranty. It is very important that the fasteners be compatible with the AZ55 or AZ50 because the steel mill will not warranty the wood pole barn roof if they’re incompatible.
Wood Pole Barns
Wood Pole Barn buildings typically use fasteners with an alloy head that will tarnish turning dark gray or black. The roof of the wood pole barn loses its luster and beauty.
Roof Panels
Global Steel Buildings
Our roof panels are made of steel consisting of an 80 yield, 26 gauge AZ55 Galvalume.
Wood Pole Barns
Wood pole barn buildings typically only use 29 gauge steel on the roof, which is lighter than 26 gauge steel, and only a 5/8″ depth of corrugation that does not provide the extra strength the Global Steel building has. Some of pole barn kit manufacturing competitors use an ‘R’ panel roof, which means the sheeting only overlaps one third of the way into the corrugation. This doesn’t prevent leakage as well as the reverse ‘L’ design that Global Steel uses because the water will back up into the pole building.
Paint
Global Steel Buildings
The paint used on our Steel buildings has a 40 year warranty against chipping, cracking, peeling and blistering. It is a baked-on polyester paint so that the Global Steel Building maintains its colour and beauty over time.
Wood Pole Barns
Wood pole building manufacturer’s typically only warranty the roof for 10, 15 or 20 years.
Purlins and Girts
Global Steel Buildings
Our Buildings purlins and girts are superior 16 gauge zinc-galvanized.
Wood Pole Barns
Wood pole building manufacturers typically use wood purlins and girts which will bow or bend causing screws to loosen, sheets to flap and leaks to occur within the pole barn.
Frames
Global Steel Buildings
Our steel building consists of rigid frame, plate steel and H beam construction. Since no wood is used in our building – no warping will occur, there’s no risk of fire or termites AND insurance premiums will be less expensive than for wood pole barn kits. Our Building has a 40 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship on all structural components. Our building’s truss does not need a cord going across which means there is complete unobstructed space within. Birds cannot perch and defecate on the equipment and machinery inside the barn, which will save you tremendous costs on maintenance.
Wood Pole Barns
Wood pole buildings manufactured with wooden frames will eventually warp over time. They can also become a fire hazard and become a target for termites and other insects – raising the costs of insurance. Wood Pole Buildings are more expensive to insure. Wood pole building manufacturers typically require a cord spanning across the truss width causing tremendous loss of space. This creates a perch for birds – potentially damaging your machinery and equipment.
