The structural metal frameworks for buildings are typically standard in sizes and shapes. These include tubular shapes, L-shaped beams, Pipe’s or CHS (circular hollow section), SHS (Square Hollow Section), flat bars and angles, and plates and checker plates. These are commonly welded, riveted, bolted, or tied together to form various configurations. In most cases, the standard pre-formed steel materials are sufficient for most construction needs. However, there are some instances wherein the materials must be customized. The shape or size may need to be within specific measurements and configurations. This does not only apply to odd-looking architectural works but also applicable to normal-looking buildings that may need stronger support structure.
For instance, a suburban house may be designed to be earthquake-resistant or hurricane-resistant. Some of its structural support may need to be modified and customized. Same is true for other types of buildings. Refitting a building with new and sturdier support structure may prove to be more difficult than constructing it fro the ground up. Fabricating customized metal frameworks will help in simplifying the task. This is particularly useful for restoring very old historical buildings. Many of the standard metal structures do not have the right configurations. Customized structural support can be retrofitted almost seamlessly into a building.
