Lancaster, Pa. (January 3, 2007) – Butler Manufacturing of Annville, Pa., and High Steel Structures Inc. of Lancaster, Pa., teamed up to fabricate steel framing used to build a new athletic center at West Point, a project that began in June 2006. Butler Manufacturing had the lead on designing the frames and called upon assistance from High Steel Structures, a bridge superstructure fabricator, as an efficient approach to making the larger components for the project. High Steel Structures has found that providing strategic assistance to building fabricators such as Butler is a logical application of their core competencies in the bridge-building industry.

History of the project:

In 2005, the United States Military Academy announced an initiative that would complete the Michie Stadium Athletic Complex begun in 2001. The key addition was the indoor athletic training facility.

Following a year-long process of design and construction planning, it was determined that a pre-engineered steel building system would be best suited to create the unique features planned for the new 92,400-square-foot building. This decision was made in large part due to the ability of such structures to span large areas, to offer shorter construction times than traditional methods, and to provide greater overall lifecycle value.

Butler Manufacturing played a critical role in the process, designing the frames that were used for the building. The plans include an indoor training facility that is unlike the field houses or athletic facilities found on most college campuses. The building has unusually high (65 feet) ceilings to accommodate punting, kicking, and return drills.

Other special features include padding on the interior walls to ensure a higher degree of safety, special lighting configurations to enhance the quality of videos shot during practices, a 40-yard sprint track for speed training, and FieldTurf® artificial turf to provide a field surface that is more realistic and safer for the athletes.

In all, more than 825 tons of steel were used to construct the facility.

The project was funded by the largest single donation in the history of the federal Service Academies—a $15 million donation to West Point’s Association of Graduates from Bill and Carol Foley. Mr. Foley graduated from the Military Academy in 1967 and was commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force where he reached the rank of Captain.

Mr. Foley is the Chairman of the Board and the CEO of Fidelity National Financial Corporation, a global provider of products and outsourced solutions to the financial and real estate industries. He also serves on the boards of JEA, Inc. and Florida Rock Industries, Inc. Until recently, Mr. Foley was the Chairman of the Board of CKE Restaurants, Inc. He and his wife Carol have four children and reside in Jacksonville, Fla.

The facility will be named the Foley Athletic Center in recognition of Mr. Foley’s donation, which is the largest single gift in the history of West Point. Construction is scheduled to be completed in January 2007.

Steel building kits are becoming a very popular option in regard to new building construction. Typically, you can construct a steel building kit much faster, and much cheaper than you could a traditional wood frame building. They are virtually maintenance-free and for the smaller buildings, you don’t always need a contractor to build it.

One detail that will need to be worked out before you build, and before you purchase, is onto what will the building be erected? Bare dirt? Concrete? Concrete foundations increase the overall cost of the project, but may be required for a larger building, or a structure that will be permanent. The primary type of steel structures that are on dirt foundations are carports. But, depending on local requirements, steel buildings can sometimes be built on bare ground. The following information will illustrate some details on ground foundations and concrete foundations.

You will find that steel building kits can be anchored on the ground (without a concrete floor) or on concrete. Before getting into particulars, if you are in an area that has a frost line, you will need to be approximately 12″ under that frost line for your perimeter footings. This depth requirement for colder areas applies to ground anchoring as well.

The below described concrete applications do not account for frost line requirements.

Ground Mount (no concrete pad):

When mounting your steel building kit to the ground, you will be required to dig a post hole approximately 10″ in diameter and 30″ deep every five feet or every four feet depending upon whether you have purchased a 5′ on-center system or a 4′ on-center system.
Assemble your base rails** and lay them in place, marking where your holes should be dug. (A 16 D nail poked into the ground through the pre-drilled hole in the base rails works very accurately for this.)
Next, use a post hole digger or auger and drill your holes 30″ deep. Clean out the holes.
You would now lay out your steel building kit base rails according to the instructions and drop the ground anchors into the pre-drilled holes. Use a 2500psi concrete (pre-mixed bags or mix your own) and, using a shovel, fill the holes.

You should wait at least seven days for the concrete to properly set before moving on with the assembly of your steel building.

Concrete Mount:

Size the slab. You should make your slab 4″ wider than the width of your steel building and 6″ longer. This is so you don’t break or crack the edge of the slab when affixing the concrete anchor expansion bolts into your slab.

Concrete Floor: Your floor should be a minimum of 4″ thick. Make it 6″ thick if you are intending large vehicles such as trucks or larger RVs to be parked on it. The concrete should be a minimum of 2500 psi concrete with fiber mesh reinforcement added at the batch plant OR #3 rebar on 24″ centers. You should also consider going with a concrete mixture of 4000psi along with the extra two inches of concrete if you are intending more than a normal amount of weight.
Be sure to saw cut expansion joints within an appropriate time after the pour is finished or trowel in the expansion joints while the finishing is occurring.

Footing Requirements: (International Building Code 2000 or “IBC 2000″ requirements)

At the same time you pour the floor, you are going to pour the perimeter footings. This is called a monolithic pour or monolithic slab. Perimeter footings need to be 12″ deep (you can include the 4″ of floor as part of the 12″) and 16″ wide. The footings will have to have two #4 rebar lengths top and bottom, continuous run around the complete perimeter.

In our local area (Tempe, AZ), the footings would cost approximately $11.50 per lineal (running) foot.

That’s it. If your building department is still using UBC 1997 (Uniform Building Code), which many of them are, your footing only needs to be 12″ wide. That should knock about $1.00 per lineal foot off the above footing price estimate. For more information on concrete requirements for steel buildings, visit Absolute Steel and Storage.

Littleton, Colorado (October 30, 2010) – The Metal Building Outlet of Littleton Colorado has been accused of starting bidding wars between metal and steel building manufacturers. Their unique business model has manufacturers scrambling to re-figure quotes.

The Metal Building Outlet has taken their knowledge of a slower economy and market competition to create opportunity for their clients and manufacturers. By allowing companies to compete for their client’s business the manufacturers fill up empty slots in their schedules, while clients get highly discounted buildings.

When you combine the already lower price of steel buildings compared to traditional structures, along with the deep discounts Metal Building Outlet receives, the cost savings to clients can exceed 50%. This allows many churches, schools, and businesses to proceed with building projects they had put on hold.

Price is not the only concern of the Metal Building Outlet. With years of experience in the steel building industry they ensure their clients only receive quotes from companies who meet the highest standards and are professionally recognized by top building agencies. They work with their clients to meet all local building codes and regulations.

Where many steel building contractors deal only with smaller structures, the Metal Building Outlet works with structures from small storage sheds, large barns, churches, industrial buildings, and even large aircraft hangars.

One of the greatest benefits enjoyed by their clients is the speed of construction. A steel building can be built in a fraction of the time of traditional wood or brick construction. With all the components being prefabricated and ready for assembly when it arrives on site the contractor’s job is simplified saving on cost and time.

Steel buildings are designed strong and constructed to last. This is not the same type of construction you find in small flimsy storage sheds, but is the same powerful construction you find in large factories and schools. The structures can be insulated to provide equal or superior energy efficiency to other traditional structures. With the proper doors, windows, and metal building accessories a metal building has great curb appeal.

The bidding wars which the Metal Building Outlet has started ends up being a win-win situation for both their clients and their numerous manufacturing partners. With the volume of business they provide the lowest prices possible to clients and help manufacturers in keeping their employees busy. The perfect arrangement for everyone.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 18, 2011 – Steel buildings are known for their adaptability and are engineered to easily adapt to custom demands without the expenses traditional construction can incur. These are some of the reasons why churches are exploring steel building options.

During the planning phase for your church, cost is obviously going to be a concern. Prefab steel buildings are unique and flexible structures that can be used for metal church buildings, school buildings, community centers, and religious halls. Metal buildings provide great advantages in design flexibility, energy efficiency and durability of a church building. Metal churches are popular largely from the cost advantages of the pre-engineered construction, fast erection, the flexibility in construction and use, appeal, and safety.

Steel church buildings can give enough room for gathering rooms, a choir rooms, vestibules, and youth rooms. The whole steel building system is pre-drilled, pre-punched, pre-engineered and pre-fabricated which can greatly reduce time and expenses.

Compared to wood, stick or brick buildings, steel church buildings are more energy efficient, simpler and faster to erect, and up to 50% cheaper to buy.
The erection expenses of pre-fab steel buildings are substantially less, usually cost about half of convential construction methods. Since everything is designed ahead of time to fit, there is no welding or fabrication on site, and no leftover materials. You can even use unskilled laborers most of the time, or even church volunteers can help.

Steel buildings for churches have many benefits to ponder. Normal pre-fab steel buildings take less time to erect and minimize expenses. They are easily modified and often without any major structural change, so it can really grow and adapt to the church’s needs.

California

City Steel Buildings offers free steel building quotes for different States across US and connects steel building buyers with sellers. The online steel building resource provides extensive information about steel buildings to interested buyers.

Prefabricated steel buildings are also known as pre-engineered steel buildings. Metal prefab buildings have gained immense popularity in the past few years. Eco-friendly steel metal buildings have many advantages over other construction alternatives. Builders and investors all over the world have invested in the avenue of steel buildings.

Mr. Kirk J. Steel from City Steel Buildings said, “Steel buildings of all kinds are immensely functional and absolutely practical as a construction avenue. Prefabricated steel buildings are easy to construct buildings and require least labor to erect the metal building on construction site. This is because prefab metal buildings are pre-constructed at the factory and later on the compartments of the steel building are assembled at the construction site. This saves a lot of time and suits the needs of many ‘really-busy’ homeowners. Also, these are inexpensive to construct as well. Prefab steel buildings are cost effective buildings.”

Prefab steel buildings can be used as agricultural steel buildings, storage shed, steel garages, prefabricated steel garages and even commercial steel buildings or residential steel buildings.

“Prefab steel buildings are stronger and hold more strength than any other concrete or wooden building. These buildings have the resistance to stand strong against natural disasters such as earthquakes, windstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes and heavy rainfall. Also, a steel building is not only money saving when you purchase it, it also saves money throughout life as very less refurbishments or maintenance is required in a steel metal building. Prefab metal buildings make great steel building homes too”, concluded Mr. Steel.
