Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings in Agribusiness

Canadian Rockies Hemp Corporation has recently opened its first processing plant in Bruderheim, Alberta.

The facility measures 42,500 sq feet.

This innovative company contracts farmers in Alberta to include hemp into their crop rotation.

Canadian Rockies Hemp Corp. will purchase the hemp by the acre or by the tonne and process the hemp for resale in their plant.

After processing hemp is sold to be used in textiles, manufacturing, construction or for any of the other 50,000+ different products that can be made from hemp.

Decortication Facility

Hemp Strand

Global Steel Buildings Canada worked closely to design and deliver a state of the art pre-engineered steel building for their Decortication Facility. 

Using pre-engineered steel, Canadian Rockies Hemp Corp. are currently constructing a Decortication Facility.

Decortication is the process of separating the bast fibre and the woody inner core (hurd/shive) from the stalk.  

The facility will be capable of processing 50,000 acres/year of Canadian hemp for fibre, hurd, and dust products.

Pre-engineered steel is the best choice for agri-business.  It can withstand the harshest Canadian weather.  The Global Steel Buildings Canada accessory department can ensure your building is protected from snow loads by providing clamp to seam or deck mount bar snow retention systems.

Because we can design our steel buildings with bi-fold and hydraulic doors, they are able to accommodate the largest possible agricultural equipment.  Resistant to rot, mold, mildew and insect applications, steel will protect the hemp being processed within.

Long lasting, durable and economical the Global Steel Buildings Canada package was the best choice for the Canadian Rockies Hemp Corporation.  Contact our Canadian Customer Service team for more information and we will provide you with a no obligation consultation and quotation.

Equestrian Steel Building

In January 2019, Woodbine Entertainment announced a $6 million dollar paddock expansion project.  Global Steel Buildings Canada provided the steel equestrian building for the project.

The paddock expansion will allow Woodbine to be recognized as the leading Standardbred racetrack in North America.

The Steel Equestrian Building

Lane Contracting was awarded the project and selected Global Steel Buildings Canada to supply the structure.  The 22,000 square foot paddock measures 125 feet wide, 165 feet long and 18 feet high.  The building was customized to feature 57 box stalls, a trainer locker room and a viewing area for fans.  The steel structure also includes office space.

Traditionally equestrian buildings were wooden.  Steel is far more weather resistant and will outlive a wooden building.  Feed and hay is kept dry and free from insect infestation.  Wood is susceptible to rot, steel is not.  The Global Steel Buildings Canada package is treated and will not rust.

Maintenance Free

Little to no maintenance means that once built, a steel building will be cost effective for years to come.  Because a clear span design is used, the Global Steel Buildings Canada package is able to maximize the interior space.  Easily customized, designs can include mezzanines, paddocks, office space and other amenities to meet your specific needs.

With a Canadian design and engineering team, Global Steel Buildings worked with Lane Contracting to deliver an all Canadian project.  All of our detailing, manufacturing and customer service is based in Canada.

Why Choose Steel for your Farm Buildings

Is your farm operation in need of upgrading or expansion?  Global Steel Buildings Canada supplies high quality pre-engineered steel buildings.  Because it is versatile, steel is ideal for farm buildings.

Steel is a great choice for either an agricultural or livestock farming operation.  Unlike wood pole barns, steel is impermeable to mildew, rot and insect infestation.  Your crops or livestock will be protected.

Steel Vs Wood Pole

A pole barn is not considered a permanent structure. At best, they may last 15-20 years with expensive maintenance. A Global Steel Buildings Canada steel building will last decades longer than a pole barn.

Wood pole buildings manufactured with wooden frames will eventually warp over time. Our Steel building consists of rigid frame, plate steel and H beam construction. Since no wood is used in our building – no warping will occur.

Wood pole buildings can also become a fire hazard and become a target for termites and other insects – raising the costs of insurance.

Wood pole buildings are more expensive to insure.  With a steel farm building there’s no risk of fire or termites and insurance premiums will be less expensive than for wood pole barn kits.

Wood pole building manufacturers typically require a cord spanning across the truss width causing tremendous loss of space. This creates perch for birds – potentially damaging your machinery and equipment. Our buildings truss does not need a cord going across which means there is complete unobstructed space within. Birds cannot perch and defecate on the equipment and machinery inside the wood pole barn, which will save you tremendous costs on maintenance.

Global Steel Buildings

Our buildings have a 40 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship on all structural components.  Call our team for a consultation today.

Advantages & Disadvantages of a Pre-Engineered Building

The modern construction industry most regularly utilizes two major building methods: pre-engineered building construction and conventional (or traditional) construction. Conventional construction uses different materials like concrete, masonry, or wood that are constructed on-site, whereas pre-engineered steel buildings use components that are manufactured off-site and then delivered to the construction site. These two building methods are similar in that they each include design, foundation, framing, and finishes, but have the processes through which each of these steps are carried out differ greatly.

Conventional or Traditional Construction

 

Traditional construction occurs much more slowly on a step-by-step basis. First excavation is carried out and foundations are laid before framing can begin. Every step and piece of the building process must be completed before moving on to another step, which makes scheduling more complicated. Time and scheduling will depend on the efficiency of the tradesmen involved. The design process of conventional construction can affect the scheduling significantly, especially if the build is a complicated design. When each component is designed from scratch, as is usually the case with conventional construction methods, even a small construction project can take as long as six to ten months.

Advocates for conventional construction argue that it can be ideal for complex designs, but not only does it take longer, it also costs more than pre-engineered construction. While conventional building methods can often produce more complex buildings, this method has higher labour costs and produces a lot of construction waste. Conventional construction can provide more flexible design options, but it also requires thorough, ongoing maintenance.   Because conventional construction materials like stone and concrete weigh more than those used in pre-engineered buildings, these buildings can actually weaken foundations over time.

Pre-engineered Steel Building Construction

Pre-engineered construction removes any need for a project architect or engineer. Due to its streamlined approach, the design of a pre-engineered building  is quick, efficient, and flexible. Pre-engineered construction by its nature provides for simpler design. Each component is pre-fabricated to suit the design, after which  the steel structures are delivered to the construction site.

With their simple design and prefabricated metal building components, prefab steel buildings can be quickly erected onsite. Also, since the framing components are pre-fabricated, foundations are accurately determined based on weight unlike in conventional construction, avoiding the dreaded weakened foundation mentioned earlier.

Advantages to Choosing A Pre-Engineered Steel Building

Construction Time Is Reduced

Pre-engineered buildings almost always take less time to construct than other building types. This is because the pre-engineered building components are designed and pre-built to be easy to assemble. With other building types, many processes and steps take place right at the construction site.  With pre-engineered buildings, many of these steps happen before the parts have even left the factory.  A small shed, for example, that would normally take weeks to build can take days.  Larger buildings, like commercial structures as big as ten thousand square feet, are often completed in less than three months.

Costs Are Reduced

Because pre-engineered building components have been specially engineered to fit together easily, steel building kits are much less complicated to assemble than other building types. When the parts arrive at the construction site, the skill level required for their assembly is substantially lower because the components are prepared in-plant and often with automation. State-of-the-art computer-aided design and manufacturing processes (commonly referred to as CAD/CAM) are used to design and produce structural components with high strength-to-weight ratio, minimizing raw material costs and waste. Between the reduced time of construction and the level of skill required, construction costs can be reduced by more than half using pre-engineered buildings.

It Is Easy To Expand A Pre-Engineered Steel Building

Pre-engineered steel buildings are dynamic by nature, as they are built and designed to be modified quickly and economically before, during, and after the building is completed  to accommodate all types of expansion. Pre-engineered buildings are usually  expanded by removing the end of the building, erecting new framework, and adding matching roof and wall panels.

Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings are Durable and Weather-Resistant

Steel is one of the strongest building materials available in  today’s market.  It has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any construction material, at about 25 times greater than wood.  In fact, steel frames are actually lighter than wood frames. Steel can also withstand extreme weather conditions including high winds, severe snow storms, hurricanes, and even earthquakes. Steel is also not susceptible to termites, creeping, cracks, splitting, rotting, and fire like wood is. Metal buildings structures are usually treated with special coatings like galvalume that protect their paint and surfaces from rust. Reputable manufacturers typically offer extended warranties on their paint and coatings that can last decades.

Steel Buildings Are Not High Maintenance

Pre-engineered steel buildings and their components require little to no maintenance.  When it comes to keeping things clean, their surfaces are easy to clean with just soap and water.

You Know Where Your Building and Its Parts Came From

With pre-engineered steel buildings, one company is responsible for all of the separate components that make up a building. Customer and construction manager do not have to maintain a list of where each component came from, in case repairs under warranty are required.

Steel Buildings  Can Be Functional AND Look Good

Steel construction technology has come a long way since steel first hit the market over half a century ago. These days steel buildings can be finished with the same exterior coverings that structures made of any other building material are. With prefabricated steel buildings, you can choose to add a finish that will prevent your steel building from sticking out like a sore thumb.  Traditional finishes like stucco can be used to decorate pre-fabricated steel buildings or panels with a preferred color and texture combination can be used.

Pre-Engineered Buildings are Sustainable

Building construction and maintenance consumes a significant amount of energy, greatly increasing our eco-footprint. Choosing a pre-engineered steel building for your construction project is an environmentally responsible decision for many reasons.

Disadvantages to Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings

Design & Expansion Constraints

Buildings may  require additions to accommodate growth. It is important to note that pre-engineered steel buildings usually only accommodate expansion if the addition is an extension of the existing building in a direction parallel to the ridge of the existing building.

One may, however, easily build additional floors and expand the existing structures if they work closely within the constraints of the existing build.

You can learn more about how easy it is to expand steel buildings here.

Durability and Longevity Issues

Some detractors of steel buildings claim that metal siding and roofs fade quickly and are easily dented.   They argue that pre-fabricated steel buildings do not age well and look considerably different after a period of time.

Recent advances in steel building technology and finishes, however, have provided for increased longevity and strength, helping to avoid these concerns.

Finishing Details May Take Time

Finishing construction on pre-fabricated steel buildings has been said to be difficult. Because of the nature of the exterior walls in metal building systems, drywall cannot be directly attached without adding additional structures. If walls require insulation, an additional wall is generally used, decreasing the interior square footage. Also, the columns in prefabricated steel buildings are considered by some to be large and bulky, making them difficult to hide.

However, if you work with a reputable steel building provider, they will work closely with you to ensure these details are finished to your specifications and will make sure to communicate any timing changes or issues.

Why Steel is a Great Choice for Your Next Construction Project

No other building material dominates the industrial construction market like steel. Worldwide, steel framing constitutes nearly 95% of all new industrial construction projects.

What gives steel its competitive edge? Let’s review!

Steel is flexible. Mezzanine floor layouts are commonplace in pre-engineered steel building design.  These layouts allow steel building owners to easily expand or contract usable space by adding and removing floors, openings, and interior walls.

Steel is precise. Manufacturing of steel building components is  partially automated to ensure their precision. The finished steel component is then subjected to rigorous quality control testing to ensure reliability and consistency.  Prefab metal buildings have many customization options available for your specific needs.

Steel is safe. It is the safest choice for nearly every building project or need, urban or rural, commercial or municipal. Years of extensive testing have ensured metal building kits are designed and engineered to strict safety standards. Recent advances have assisted engineers and architects in finding and catching potentially hazardous issues before construction even begins, allowing them to correct mistakes before they become an issue.

Steel is environmentally friendly.  Steel buildings can be easily equipped with insulation that does not omit toxic by-products. Steel is also lightweight, making it easier to move around than wood or concrete, reducing fuel use and vehicle emissions from transportation.

Steels lasts a long time. Despite inclement weather, fire, earthquakes, or flood damage, properly designed steel lasts longer than any other building material on the market. Steel requires minimum maintenance, and unlike other building materials, it is resistant to rot and will not chip.

Steel looks great. Because of its unparalleled flexibility and strength, steel can be manufactured with unique and beautiful designs in mind. Steel is easily given texture through a variety of finishes that provide it with an aesthetically appealing appearance.

Steel can reduce your costs.  Steel provides for considerable economic benefits, including accelerated turnaround times, reduced costs and labor expenses, and the possibility for an earlier return on your investment.

The Bottom Line

Pre-engineered construction isn’t ideal for every project type.  Certain complex designs require conventional construction methods. Pre-engineered buildings are ideal for commercial and industrial construction projects such as pole barns, warehouses, garages, self-storage facilities, and office buildings.  Pre-engineered buildings have a quicker turnaround time and can often be delivered within two months (as compared to six to ten months for conventional builds).

Between easy scheduling with less subcontractors, quick installation, and lower waste, the pre-engineered steel building method reduces costs and increases productivity. Only you know the exact specifications and needs that your building should fulfill.  Choosing the right building method is the first step in any building project.  If your design restraints are not too restrictive, pre-engineered buildings can provide for lower costs, lower waste, low maintenance, durability, stability, and ease of expansion in your next building project.

Because we use Energy Star rated panels, your building will be more energy efficient.  This in turn will save you money on energy use during peak periods.  Because we use maximum sized windows in our designs,  we make use of natural light to further reduce energy costs.

Environmentally Friendly

Steel is 100% recyclable making it the most environmentally friendly building material available.  Today’s society values the importance of minimizing the effect on the environment and this will in turn affect consumers choices.  More and more builders are using steel in eco-friendly construction projects because of its durability and renewability. Long lasting, when combined with other eco-friendly building materials is often used for green building projects.  Other recyclable materials such as plastic break down and lose quality each time it is recycled.  Steel does not. There’s also less waste associated with steel construction compared to wood.

Prefab Building Construction

The Global Steel Buildings prefab building is delivered pre-cut and pre-drilled.  Assembly is straightforward and efficient.  Prefab buildings can be constructed 30% quicker than brick and mortar buildings.  This is a win for a manufacturing organization as you can be operational often within two months.  An important consideration for return on investment.

Because all prefab building components are delivered together from Global both the design and construction are much more economical. Single-source purchase of building elements gives the owner control over every aspect of building cost, design and construction. We directly represent the factory. This means we control all stages of the quoting, design and manufacturing process, including engineering. This ensures your building will last a lifetime. Engineer Certified Stamped Drawings are always provided as a part of your service package.  Single source purchase also allows for faster and more efficient construction and lower operating expenses than traditional construction. When it’s time to grow a business, expansion is quick, because it can be built into the original design.

The Canadian climate is no match for our steel manufacturing buildings.  Because our designers are Canadian and live in Canada, we know what it takes to design a steel manufacturing building for our climate conditions. By using the most advanced insulation system available, our buildings will lower your ongoing operational costs.

Steel Farm Buildings

Buffalo Rock Dairy in Didsbury, Alberta recently expanded their dairy operation by adding a steel farm building from Global Steel Buildings Canada.  The Ridder family own and operate Buffalo Rock Dairy and milk 130 purebred Holsteins.

Increase Capacity with Steel Buildings

Steel Buildings

Terminal Upgrade

To enhance passenger experience STOLport, a fixed based operator located at Billy Bishop Airport increased capacity in partnership with Global Steel Buildings.  2.5 million passengers fly through Billy Bishop Airport today.

Steel buildings are ideal terminal buildings.  Because of its island location the pre-engineered design was the best choice for this STOLport.  A STOLport is an airport designed with short take off and landing operations in mind.  As a result of its island location the pre-fab panels were ideal and a far better solution then traditional building materials.

Benefits of steel buildings

  • can be erected much more quickly than a building traditional materials
  • environmentally friendly, steel is 100% recyclable
  • less waste
  • quick return on investment
  • clear-span design allows for maximum use of space
  • greater energy efficiency
  • resistant to rot and mold
  • resistant to insect and rodent infestation

Because the panels are pre-engineered and pre-drilled assembly is far quicker then with a traditional build.  Getting up and running quickly is key.  Because metal is 100% recyclable less waste is produced on assembly.

STOLport offers aircraft parking, fuel and passenger services and is the only FBO to offer float plane services on the island.  The Global Steel Buildings Canada clear-span design was perfect to ensure the efficient use of space for STOLport.

Because the environment is a concern the fact that steel is 100% recyclable factored into the decision to purchase pre-engineered steel buildings.

Durable and built to withstand the Canadian climate steel buildings met all of STOLport’s needs.

Our product is built and designed in Canada.  Our local sales and customer service teams are on hand to answer any questions you may have.  We will gladly provide a no obligation consultation and quotation to see if our product will meet your specifications.

Fire Services – Metal Buildings

Recently BNP Industries reached out to Global Steel Buildings Canada for the supply of a pre-engineered metal building to erect a new fire station on Christian Island, Beausoleil First Nation. BNP’s philosophy is closely aligned to Global Steel Building’s Canada, insofar as the customer is priority.

We were able to deliver a pre-engineered metal building to meet the specific needs for this project. The building will be an 11,000 square foot structure.  This project has been in the works for 10 years and is budgeted at $3 million. This is the first permanent fire station for the Beausoleil First Nation History.

Metal is versatile and durable

Because it is versatile and durable, a metal building is ideal for a fire station. The material is 100% recyclable and the building is therefore environmentally friendly.  Our clear span design was ideal for this project.  With no posts limiting space usage, the building is able to accommodate the fire department’s two pumpers, one tanker and one command truck.

The fifteen volunteer firefighters will be working in a building that is not prone to insect infestation or rot and will be able to be expanded with add-ons over time if required.

Our buildings can employ mezzanine floors to facilitate maximum storage and office space.  At the fire station locker and training space will be required in addition to administrative offices.  By finishing the building with stucco, brick, stone or insulated panels, the exterior will have a pleasing and upscale appearance.

Public Buildings

Pre-engineered metal buildings are a great choice for public buildings like fire stations.  They are also a good choice for other public buildings including:

  • churches
  • police stations
  • recreational facilities
  • public administration buildings
  • arenas
  • public works
  • municipalities salt or truck storage
  • EMT
  • schools
  • school transportation

Contact Global Steel Buildings for any First Nation, Municipal, Provincial or Federal public building needs.  Our team are happy to provide a no obligation consultation and will answer any questions you may have to determine whether a pre-engineered steel metal building will meet your needs.

Pole Barns

Global Steel Buildings Canada can deliver a pole barn which will meet your specifications.

During the depression of the 1930’s farmers chose the most cost effective materials available for new construction. Recycled telephone poles became posts to frame barns. The term pole barn originated from these depression era telephone pole barns.

The pole frame barn is a sturdy and reliable structure. Using posts buried into the ground, a pole barn is cheaper and more efficient to erect compared to other types of construction.

Advantages of Pole Barn Construction

  • A building’s foundation can be time consuming and expensive. Because a pole barn is supported by deep set poles, there is no need for a level concrete foundation to begin construction.
  • Pole barns are less expensive to erect. Other types of construction require extensive framing and more materials making your overall cost of construction higher. Construction is less labour intensive as well.
  • Pole barns can be better insulated due to the wide spacing between posts. The design naturally creates better ventilation promoting higher air quality.
  • A steel pole barn is the perfect solution for your agricultural needs. Whether you need a building for equipment storage, food processing, or housing animals, Global Steel Buildings Canada can meet your needs.

Our knowledgeable team can offer solutions to meet your needs. A steel pole barn is far more practical than traditional wooden barns these days. Offering efficiency, quality and durability, steel is the best choice for your investment. Read why steel pole barns are much better than wood here.

Our accessories department can help finish your building with energy efficient windows and doors.  The Global Steel Buildings Canada warranty is second to none.

Contact our team for a no obligation consultation and quotation.  We look forward to working with you!!
