An outsized baggage x-ray facility air side at Heathrow T4 to handle large or irregular items before being taken on board an aircraft was required by BAA. Airport Capacity Solutions enlisted the expertise of Losberger to install this specialist bespoke insulated Steel structure to handle and scan baggage. This specialist job required our products and crew to meet many specifications and overcome numerous challenges that come with working air side at one of the World’s busiest airports.
Steel Hall X-ray facility.

A Losberger Steel Hall system was adapted to meet the bespoke requirements of BAA including standard building regs and site specific regualtions making this one of Losberger UK’s most complex projects to date.

Work commenced on site in late September to build the seemingly small 8m x 5m structure but with the most complex and intricate specification Losberger UK had ever worked with, it took 7 days to complete the build due to air side restrictions and the very complex nature of the site and project.

The intricate specification for the structure included building on two different leg heights due to the ground conditions, Mineral wool insulation with an overall thickness of 80mm for its non combustible core in accordance with BSEN 1182:2002, two apertures that allowed access through the structure and along a conveyor belt inside the x ray machine fitted with draft curtains and a specially adapted roller shutter door to fit the structure. All our crew and vehicles had to undergo security and background checks to gain access air side as well as all delivery vehicles, the nature of the highly secure site meant that working hours were also restricted.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) April 30, 2011

Universal Steel Buildings has contracted to design, engineer and supply three Olympia Steel Buildings® pre-engineered steel buildings to FirstAIR Group of Horseheads, New York. Universal Steel Buildings Construction Services will complete the concrete work and erect the prefabricated metal buildings planned for the hangar-terminal complex on site. Construction on the more than twelve thousand square foot multi-purpose pre-engineered metal building hangar-airport terminal complex will begin in May of this year.

FirstAIR Group Inc is a company comprised of Aviation, Development and Business Resource professionals, providing aircraft maintenance, aircraft charter and sales, helicopter scenic rides and photography, and International Airport Development in Horseheads, New York near the Elimira-Corning Regional Airport.

The new Olympia Steel Buildings airplane hangar will accommodate a large Kingair Twin Jet and a jet-propelled helicopter used to provide scenic Finger Lakes area tours, as well as to accommodate maintenance areas for commercial airlines and private planes. The hangar-terminal complex is comprised of three pre-engineered steel buildings connected into one huge twelve-thousand foot complex with a one-hundred foot clearspan that arcs thirty-five feet into the air providing ample space for the planes garaged for maintenance and protection from the elements. An existing t-hangar on the property will be coming down later this year to make room for additional pre-engineered steel airplane hangars once the current construction project is completed.

“It’s a very exciting project for us,” states Darin Skomo, project manager for the Construction Division of Universal Steel Buildings. “The scenery on the drive from Pittsburgh to FirstAir’s Horseheads, New York location through the Allegheny National Forest is breathtaking. The project itself is challenging: designing three pre-engineered steel buildings to connect as one with a one-hundred foot clearspan arching thirty-five feet into the air to provide clearance for the planes that will be garaged there,” continues Skomo. “We will finish construction before the big Watkins Glenn NASCAR race in August so the new hangar and air terminal will be ready to accommodate the many NASCAR fans who will be flying in to enjoy the race.”

Because of the strength and durability of steel and the remarkable clearspan space that is achievable with Olympia Steel Buildings unique trussless metal building design – up to three hundred feet of completely clearspan space with no obstructing columns – pre-engineered metal building construction is ideal for aircraft hangars and air terminals. Universal Steel Buildings supplies Olympia Steel Buildings pre-engineered steel buildings and metal building systems to private and commercial airports, military and civilian agencies and FBO’s all over the world.

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.

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.

The term “steel building” is often associated with simple storage sheds and basic structures. With advancements in the industry over the past forty years, however, steel buildings have broken that stereotype and are being used for an ever-growing list of larger and more complex applications. Steel has found its way into advanced farm buildings, riding arenas, aircraft hangers, commercial centers and more.

Prefabricated Steel Building Background
The 20th century marked the beginning of the steel building industry. With the widespread use of automobiles in the early 1900s, one of the first uses of steel building was the garage. As consumers saw the low cost and value of steel, storage facilities, garages and storage sheds made of galvanized steel quickly spread around the country. In the first decade of the 1900s innovative builders also created farm storage buildings and grain bins out of steel instead of wood. By the end of the Depression, these storage bins had proven their durability when compared to wood structures. This was validated in 1938, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered 30,666 steel grain bins to store surplus crops. This order amounted to 1 ½ times the number of steel grain bins created by the entire industry only one year before.

In 1940 Butler Manufacturing Company introduced the first line of prefabricated steel buildings using rigid frame design. (A rigid frame is a skeleton for the building’s framework, made of steel girders.) This allowed businesses to purchase larger and more capable steel buildings at a lower cost and with a shorter construction schedule. By this time, the aeronautical world had embraced steel as well; steel aircraft hangers were being widely used in the civilian and military sectors.

Following World War II, engineers continued to improve prefabricated steel buildings, increasing the size and sophistication of these building “kits.” The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) was founded in 1956 to drive innovation, standardization, and greater acceptance of prefabricated steel buildings. Their efforts have worked; the MBMA estimates that steel building systems were used for about $1 million of new construction in 1960. In 2000, steel building systems accounted for almost 1.16 billion square feet and $2.5 billion of new low-rise commercial construction.
