Pre Engineered Steel Building Design

Crossland Construction Company, Inc. : Pre Engineered Single Slope Commercial Building

Crossland Construction handled the successful completion of a pre-engineered metal building design project with a complex single-slope structure with tapered columns. The completed project measures 165′-4″ x 212′-0″, with a 24′-0″ low side part. Thus, planning, detailing, and coordination should be well carried out in order to ensure structural soundness and efficiency within the buildings.

One of the most challenging aspects was the introduction of complex extensions from the roof and fanned large stud-framed parapets that will require extra care to detail. The design team liaised with engineers and fabricators to guarantee that every intricate structural piece was carefully detailed and fabricated to meet project specification requirements. Additional tapered columns made the design even more complex, requiring special engineering calculations to achieve the desired load distribution and stability.

Although the installation completed many unique and difficult tasks in four days, it showed that they were good at their jobs, streamlined, and collaborated well. Success in this project is indicative of the fact that Crossland Construction has the ability to deliver quality PEMB solutions fairly faster, more accurately, and structurally versus rival companies. Use of advanced detailing techniques and best industry practices has also ensured that what is not just structural but aesthetically appealing performance-wise at the same time is ensured within the strict project timelines.

Kim’s No Bull CDR+J & Toyota—Pre Engineered Multi-Building Commercial Project

The Laurel, MS-based Kim’s No Bull CDR+J & Toyota develops an arduous structural steel detailing case. This commercial development of five connected single-slope buildings demanding coordination and otherwise-wise construction includes features like mezzanines, lean-to buildings, and an outside canopy.

Particularly, this project was all about main and secondary steel as associated with sheeting, where each building had unique tapering demands. Wind-bent frames, skylights, and roof curbing for specific detailing to maintain their structural integrity added complexities. The other side of roofing brought great considerations: increase of durability, using a 24-gauge, 24-inch Trapezoidal-Field Seam SSR roof panel meant to exceed the UL90 criteria, along with soffit and liner panels.

Ensuring flawless cooperation with numerous departments, especially as they related to CMU walls, stud walls, and insulation, was one of the more challenging tasks. These challenges were negotiated through cooperative effort and a multi-tiered review mechanism. Senior staff mainly dictated the best degrees of accuracy and thorough quality checking at every level.

Supported by a high degree of planning and cross-team cooperation with unbending quality control, the project was delivered on time in six weeks, emphasizing the importance of accurate steel detailing in commercial building.
