Fabrication from Rolled Structural Steel
  • Material Preparation: Structural Steel is rolled into large coils, or “roles,” and then cut into panels of the required length.
  • Cutting and Shaping: Panels are then bent using press brakes or roll benders to shape the side walls and the arched roof of the structure. The shape of the roof can range from a simple single curve arch to a multi-curved arch to create a more dynamic, aesthetically complex form.
Panel Stacking and Seaming
  • Once the panels are shaped, they are stacked and aligned, and then seamed together. Seaming is a process in which the edges of the panels are joined, using a mechanical or hand tool, to ensure that the roof is watertight and structurally sound.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing:
  • The 2 or 3 panel section on the ground is then lift and placed next to the previous section.  The two sections are then seamed vertically up and over the roof.
  • The seams are done by overlapping the hook edge of one section with the hem edge of the other creating a water tight seal making it ideal for low-slope roofs.

Shape and Size Flexibility

  • Modular Stacking: The sections can be stacked side-by-side, and depending on how many sections are used, this allows for buildings of various lengths. Since the sections are modular, adjusting the building’s length is as simple as adding or removing sections.
  • Wide Building Widths: The width of the building can vary based on the size of the individual panels. Up to 120 feet in width is a significant span, which is typically achieved by using larger panels or multi-arch systems. The panel size, arch shape, and how the sections interconnect play a critical role in determining how wide the structure can be.

Panel Stacking and Seaming:

  • Once the panels are shaped, they are stacked and aligned, and then seamed together. Seaming is a process in which the edges of the panels are joined, often using a mechanical or hand tool, to ensure that the roof is watertight and structurally sound.
  • This might involve standing seam systems, where the edges of the panels are folded over each other, or snap-lock seams, depending on the specific roof design.
