Food Factory Construction

Portal frame buildings are low-rise steel structures consisting of rafters and columns which are connected to moment-resisting connections for super strength. As a result, they are constructed bay by bay which make them very fast to erect on site. Portal frame steel constructions are therefore typically seen in warehouses, barns and other places where large, open spaces are required at low cost and a pitched roof is acceptable. Our modern steelwork fabrication shops have computer-aided design and detailing (CAD), which is linked directly to factory floor computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery, creating a genuine seamless CAD/CAM environment. The accuracy of the computer-generated details being transmitted directly to the CNC machinery increases the quality standards of the production. Novelty Steel has adapted EN 1090-2 standards into its manufacturing processes supervised by experienced quality management team.

The modular construction can be readily customized to suit individual clients’ needs. For example, the buildings can be adapted to particularly humid climates by being made from extra high galvanized steel, thereby making them more rust proof. Extra-thick roof and wall insulation can also be fitted for projects based in colder climates. Optional extras include sunshades and mosquito nets for warm tropical climates, as well as phone cables for containers that will be used as offices. Furthermore, the modular buildings can be flexibly arranged in multiple configurations thanks to lateral connections and be stacked to make larger two- or multi-stored buildings.
