Industrial Innovation: Cold-Rolled Steel Design for Modern Storage Buildings
We recently completed the structural analysis and design for a new industrial storage building, delivered entirely using cold-rolled steel sections.
At Odysea Engineering Consultants Ltd, we are seeing a significant increase in the popularity of cold-rolled solutions for small to medium-sized structures. They offer a highly competitive alternative to traditional hot-rolled frames, providing excellent performance while meeting the rigorous standards required for modern commercial use.
Why Opt for a Cold-Rolled Structural Design?
Choosing cold-rolled steel over traditional hot-rolled sections offers several strategic advantages for developers and business owners:
Material Efficiency: Cold-rolled members allow for a significantly lighter structure. This reduced material use often leads to lower costs and a smaller carbon footprint for the project.
Rapid Turnaround: These systems enable faster fabrication and quicker delivery to site, helping projects move from the design phase to completion with impressive speed.
Specialised Engineering: Our designs are fully compliant with Eurocode EN 1993-1-3 (the specific standard for cold-formed members and sheeting) and are calculated to withstand site-specific wind and snow loads across the UK.
