Lower cost:
Compared to concrete, steel allows the weight of certain structures to be reduced by up to 30%.
Less construction time:
In any work, the deadline can be decisive. Metal structures, being lighter, require a shallower foundation depth and, moreover, steel is available in a large number of sizes and shapes, simplifying assembly.
Savings in materials:
Steel makes it possible to reduce the surface to be painted by up to 50%.
Accident prevention:
Steel has higher fire resistance at the time of fire.
Ease of design:
The lightness and elasticity of steel, in addition to its resistance, make it the ideal material for carrying out works of innovative design.
Under later maintenance:
This allows a lower investment in maintenance and remodeling.
Greater resistance:
Its high strength per unit weight allows for lightweight structures, an important aspect in the construction of bridges, tall buildings and structures founded on soft soils.
Allow extensions:
Steel allows modifications and/or extensions to projects much more easily than other commonly used materials.
