Prefabricated Metal Buildings For School Construction

Prefabricated metal buildings for school construction are now widely accepted both nationally and globally not only because of their safety features but because of their economic value. Metal buildings are cheaper to construct than building with conventional materials. Moreover because they are fast to install and require less manpower to complete, construction costs are greatly reduced. Prefabricated metal buildings are also virtually maintenance free, for increased savings while cutting down on building construction costs.

Olympia Steel Buildings supplies prefabricated metal buildings and metal building systems designed for school construction, including classrooms, office suites, gymnasiums, lunch rooms, break rooms and auditoriums. If your school needs to expand, or replace current school buildings and classrooms that are old, out-dated and energy-inefficient with new construction, before you decide on a building contractor, include Olympia Steel Buildings in your construction plan.

Compare steel buildings to a wooden pole barn ... steel buildings are cheaper

In the spring of last year, Howard Boarts who owns a Black Angus farm purchased a steel building from Olympia Steel Buildings and contracted with them to have it erected on his property.

 “A snow storm collapsed my feed lot building in February of 2009,” Boarts stated. “I talked to Olympia Steel Buildings and they gave me a great price. I compared the steel building to a wooden pole barn and the steel building was cheaper. It went up in a few days and everything is exactly as I wanted it.” 

The 30 x 120 metal building, sports attractive polar white sheeting and rural red trim and roof with one side completely open. Designed to provide a feeding area and give limited shelter from the elements to Boarts’ Black Angus cattle herd, the open side makes it completely accessible to his cows. Erected on 4’ stem walls to protect it from the livestock, rigid steel beams support the structure as its primary framing coated with an attractive gray oxide primer. The frames are a solid steel plate design and the flanges made from solid steel bar stock. The steel secondary framing of girts and purlins have a zinc galvanized coating applied at the mill and won’t rust, wrap or bend. The steel building’s pitched roof sheds water and snow while gutters and down spouts route the moisture away from the feeding area.

Delivery of the building occurred on May 27^th with building construction taking less than two weeks by a three-man crew from start to finish. Almost a year later, the building functioned perfectly through a very cold, snowy Pennsylvania winter and Mr. Boarts and his cattle are very satisfied customers.

“This steel building is rugged enough to handle the heavy use of the Boarts’ herd as well as hold up under brutal weather conditions. Just what the owner ordered. Mr. Boarts was so pleased with his building that he has referred Olympia to his fellow farmers in Ford City.”

"Steel City" to Host Conference For Steel Building Fabricators

Pittsburgh will play host to more than 3,500 steel construction professionals from May 11th 2011 to May 14th 2011 during the 2011 NASCC: The Steel Conference presented by the American Institute of Steel Construction.

The conference features presentations from top industry leaders, more than 90 technical sessions, practical seminars on the latest design and construction techniques, extensive trade show exhibits featuring products and services ranging from engineering software to the newest fabrication equipment, and plentiful networking opportunities. 

NASCC is the premier educational event for structural engineers, fabricators, detailers, educators, and others involved in the design and construction of fabricated steel buildings and bridges. In addition to conference seminars, attendees have many opportunities to exchange ideas with their peers at networking events including the annual Fabricator Roundtable and newly added Steel Industry Roundtable. Conference attendees can earn up to 28 Professional Development Hours while learning from leaders in the design and construction industry such as Lawrence Griffis from Walter P Moore and Duane Miller from The Lincoln Electric Company.

The conference kicks off with a visual tour of Pittsburgh’s architecture and engineering heritage presented by David J. Vater, RA, trustee at the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation. From its founding in 1758 and the construction of Fort Pitt – the most elaborate British fortress in North America – to the world’s first “green” convention center, Pittsburgh has been a city of building innovation. This keynote session will highlight Pittsburgh’s historic iron and steel industry and some of the country’s remarkable places built with Pittsburgh steel, engineering expertise, and technology.
