WHAT SETS US APART?
PROTECTION AND FINISHES
The anti-corrosion protection applied to the metal structure is decided at the appropriate time during the design process, depending on the conditions of the area where the building will be constructed.
The treatment and finishing scheme will be designed to correspond with many different types of environments and the necessary life of the structure.
| CORROSIVITY CATEGORY | EXTERIOR | INTERIOR |
|---|---|---|
| C1 VERY LOW | Buildings with heating and clean atmospheres. | |
| C2 LOW | Atmospheres with low contamination level. Rural areas. | Buildings without heating, possible condensation. |
| C3 AVERAGE | Urban and industrial atmospheres with moderate SO2 pollution. Coastal areas with low salt levels. | Warehouses with high humidity and some contamination. |
| C4 HIGH | Industrial areas with coastal areas with moderate salt levels. | Chemical industries, swimming pools. |
| C5 VERY HIGH | Industrial areas with high humidity and moderate salt levels. Coastal or sea areas with high salt levels. | Buildings with almost constant condensation and high contamination. |
| CX EXTREME | Offshore areas with high salinity. Industrial areas with extreme humidity and aggressive atmosphere. Subtropical and tropicais areas. | Industrial areas with extreme humidity and aggressive atmosphere. |
RAW MATERIALS
All raw materials come with conformity certificates detailing the tests performed, including chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensions. Our components are typically made from S275 and S355 steel, sourced from carefully selected suppliers who are approved by our quality department.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Our metallic structures undergo meticulous control, cutting, drilling, assembly, and welding processes, facilitated by automated production lines interconnected with transport systems. These operations are seamlessly integrated with project planning, where equipment is directly programmed, minimizing human error and ensuring precise conformity and reliability in dimensions.
PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION
To ensure stringent fire safety compliance, we meticulously design painting plans for passive fire protection. This process involves defining the desired level of fire resistance (R30, R60, or R90), determining the section factor of the metal structures requiring protection, and establishing the critical temperature for structural integrity.
