Alaskan Steel Buildings
The state of Alaska has contributed billions of dollars’ worth of products to the U.S. economy as a territory and since becoming a state in 1959. Most Alaskans recognize the high quality and durable structures that General Steel can supply. General Steel has become one of the leading suppliers internationally of pre-fabricated steel buildings.
Alaska has many important industries such as oil, fisheries, wood and wood products, along with furs and tourism. General Steel can design and supply a steel building for any industrial application. General Steel buildings use rigid I-Beam framing and heavy duty 26 gauge steel. General Steel buildings bolt together and feature tight connections to provide a safe and secure interior working atmosphere. All General Steel buildings can provide clear-span construction of up to 300 feet in width along with unlimited length capabilities. A General Steel building can accommodate any production process floor plan and leave ample space for offices and storage in a column-free environment. General Steel buildings are versatile, and can be easily expanded in the future when the necessity of more operable square footage becomes evident.
General Steel buildings can save you money. A General Steel building is pre-punched, pre-drilled, and pre-welded at the factory prior to shipment to your Alaskan job site. This engineering can help you to erect your steel building in a fraction of the time that a traditional structure might take, saving you potentially thousands of dollars in on-site labor costs. A General Steel building can save you time and money compared to conventional structures’ building methods and materials.
General Steel does not supply lighter gauge metal “economy” buildings that some other companies provide. These buildings may fail after a few years and not comply with some of the stringent Alaska building codes. General Steel buildings shipped to Alaska have a limited 50 year warranty and meet or exceed any Alaskan building codes and loads. So if your new steel storage facility needs to be resilient to the heavy snows of Valdez , or your new office needs to endure the occasional harsh winds in Barrow, a General Steel building is specifically engineered to be resistant to the elements in whatever area of Alaska you happen to be.
All building orders from Alaska are assigned a project coordinator (a single person of reference at our corporate office) to help facilitate the correct design and rigging. Your project coordinator is assigned at no additional charge and is crucial to the process of supplying a building to your location in a timely fashion.
