Infrastructure+Transportation

Steel structures play a crucial role in infrastructure and transportation facilities construction due to their versatility, strength, and durability. Here are some key applications of steel structures in these sectors

Steel Bridges

Steel is a primary material for bridge construction due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. It allows for longer spans, enabling the construction of large bridges without excessive weight. Steel bridges are durable, resistant to corrosion, and can be prefabricated, reducing construction time.

Railway Stations & Airport Terminals

Steel structures are used in the construction of railway stations for canopies, platforms, waiting areas, and terminal buildings. The flexibility of steel allows for innovative designs and large open spaces within stations.

Steel is commonly used in the construction of airport terminals for roofs, support structures, and large-span areas. Its strength enables the creation of vast, column-free spaces, accommodating the needs of modern airport designs.

Ports and Harbors & Tunnels

  • Steel is utilized in the construction of port facilities, such as warehouses, container terminals, and cargo-handling structures. Its durability and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for withstanding harsh marine environments.
  • Steel structures are employed in tunnel construction for support systems, ventilation structures, and access points. Steel reinforcement provides strength and stability in tunnel infrastructure.

Highway Infrastructure & Mass Transit Systems

Steel is used in highway construction for various applications, including guardrails, sign structures, overhead gantries, and sound barriers. Its flexibility allows for the creation of safe and durable highway elements.

Mass Transit Systems: Steel structures are integral to mass transit systems, including subway stations, elevated railways, and tramway structures. Steel’s versatility facilitates the construction of safe and efficient transit facilities.

Maintenance Facilities: Steel structures are used for maintenance depots, workshops, and storage facilities for transportation vehicles. Steel’s durability and ability to accommodate large open spaces are advantageous for such facilities.

In these applications, steel offers advantages like high strength, durability, resistance to environmental factors, ease of fabrication, and the ability to create innovative and aesthetically pleasing designs. Its use in infrastructure and transportation facilities contributes significantly to the development of safe, efficient, and long-lasting public infrastructure.
