STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

Structural steel system

A construction approach using steel members for the load-bearing structure.

ENGINEERING AT OUR CORE

Structural steel is a load-bearing system that can be considered for factories and warehouses. It is not a building type or, by itself, a turnkey scope. Functional requirements and engineering design form the basis of system selection.

A system defined through engineering design

Spans, height, imposed loads, ground conditions and other building requirements are assessed together. Sections, connections and details are determined through design work by qualified engineers.

Coordinating fabrication and site work

Foundation and anchor details, fabrication and erection of steel members are planned in coordination with roofing and facade works. Design, procurement, fabrication and erection responsibilities are clarified at the outset.

How it differs from turnkey delivery

Structural steel describes how a building is constructed. Turnkey delivery describes how completely it is finished, including building services and finishes. Both decisions can be made together for the same building.

System and construction topics

  • System assessment based on project requirements
  • Coordination of foundation and anchor interfaces
  • Defining fabrication and erection programmes
  • Aligning roofing, facade and other work packages
REFERENCES WITH DEFINED SCOPES

Explore this service through our projects.

Each project should explain whether steel is used throughout the building or in specific parts, and which works were undertaken.

Emin Gürbüz · İvedik OSB ↗

The 600 m² project includes demolition of the existing building and reconstruction with steel columns, beams and roofing. Assess this reference within its stated structural scope.

Er Makina · İvedik OSB ↗

Reinforced concrete and steel were used together in the 2,261 m² workshop project. The hybrid building’s turnkey scope is explained on its project page.

PREPARING FOR OUR FIRST MEETING

Let’s define your project together.

Share the location, approximate area, current design status and target programme. You can also attach drawings to your enquiry.

  1. Requirements and site information

    Let’s assess the intended use, plot conditions and available documents.

  2. Scope and responsibilities

    Let’s clarify the work to be undertaken and each party’s responsibilities.

  3. Quotation and construction plan

    Let’s discuss a quotation and programme based on the agreed requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

About structural steel systems

Which items should a structural steel quotation identify separately?

Foundations and anchors, fabrication and erection of steel members, connections, specified protective treatments, roofing, facade and building services should be listed separately. It must be clear whether the quotation covers only the frame or the completed building.

Can a steel extension be added to an existing building?

The existing building and documentation, new functional requirements and connection conditions are assessed first. Extra storeys, openings or changes in loads cannot be decided from photographs alone; they require appropriate engineering assessment and design.

Is steel always more economical or faster?

There is no single answer for every project. Spans, loads, site conditions, fabrication and procurement plans and delivery scope must be compared together. Hybrid systems in our references also show how different parts of one project can require different decisions.

We provide services across Türkiye depending on the project scope. The work to be undertaken is defined through a joint assessment of location, scope, target programme and site conditions.

How do we approach projects outside Ankara?

  1. Initial assessment: We assess requirements using the province and district, approximate building area, intended use and any available design drawings.
  2. Scope and site: We assess the need for shell construction, completion or turnkey delivery, the condition of any existing building, site conditions and the need for a site visit.
  3. Programme and quotation: We define the quotation scope by clarifying the work, site organisation and target programme.

The completed Kayın Su project in Karabük

We delivered the 3,600 m² Kayın Su facility in Bayındır Village, Eskipazar, Karabük on a turnkey basis using a precast reinforced concrete system. Explore the foundations, industrial concrete floor, infrastructure, roofing and external works on the project page.
