The answer to the question of how production halls are built with BTS Development is also the reason why it is worth choosing our company’s services. The goal of BTS Development is to efficiently and cost-effectively construct an industrial hall that meets all the client’s expectations. Our client participates in the design process, which is preceded by consultations. In this article, we will attempt to provide an overview of the process of creating production halls with BTS Development. We will describe the materials we choose for the construction of industrial halls and outline the various stages of the building process. Therefore, we encourage you to read the article about the creation of production halls.

The process of building a production hall consists of several stages

When a client approaches us with the intention of building a production hall, they usually have specific expectations and requirements for the facility. BTS Development, on the other hand, has many years of experience in creating steel halls. We have already delivered numerous projects to clients from various industries. Among our previous projects are not only large and technically advanced industrial halls, but also smaller facilities. We have often carried out extensions to existing production or warehouse facilities. Over this time, we have not only built many halls but also maintained contact with our previous clients. For this reason, we know which solutions have worked best. We are confident that your requirements, combined with our knowledge, will allow us to create a facility that will perfectly suit your business.

The process of building a production hall can be divided into several stages. We start with consultations – talking to the client and assessing their expectations. During this phase, we also learn about the proposed layout of the hall and its dimensions. It is also important for us to understand the environment in which the client plans to build the hall. Unstable ground or exposure to strong winds, for example, require additional structural measures. After determining the final design of the hall, we move on to creating the project, and based on that, a 3D computer model. At this point, we can test the hall’s strength and the durability of its individual structural elements. Advanced software allows us to precisely plan how durable the individual components of the steel structure should be.

Once we have the final design of the hall and know which elements it will consist of, we move on to the production of prefabricated components. This method of creating structural elements off-site greatly streamlines the construction process, speeding it up and ensuring high quality. The ready components are transported to the appropriate location, and we assemble them into the hall. After handing over the facility, we also provide servicing and a package of necessary employee training.

Throughout the entire process, from design to the construction of the industrial hall, we take into account a range of factors and requirements, including the safety of people and property on the premises, as well as all legal requirements.

Building a production hall based on strict standards

The construction process of a production hall is complicated because, in addition to meeting the client’s requirements and building the hall at a reasonable price, there are many legal requirements to fulfill. European standards define many parameters that the hall must meet. When an industrial hall meets these stringent standards, you can be sure that it is both safe for users and reliable.

Therefore, when designing and building steel halls, we consult with many specialists, architects, engineers, and designers. Their knowledge, combined with BTS Development’s years of experience in building industrial halls, guarantees success. Furthermore, when the hall is handed over for use, we provide a package of health and safety training and training for operating the elements and machines within the hall. We also take care of all necessary servicing and maintenance activities. Thanks to this, your hall will remain in excellent condition for many years and will serve its purpose for a long time.

What makes up a steel production hall?

How are production halls built with BTS Development? After consulting with the client, and before starting construction, one of the most important stages takes place. The design of the production hall must ensure that the client’s expectations are met, that the hall remains safe for use for many years, and that the construction process is efficient and fast.

When creating the model of the production hall, we can assess its strength. Based on our years of experience, we build industrial halls that are truly durable.

The steel hall structure is based on a frame, consisting of columns (vertical elements) and roof trusses. These are the strongest elements in the production hall’s structure. The steel beams used for this purpose have specific profiles and strictly defined physical-chemical properties. To these beams, we attach thinner elements, such as roof purlins and wall cladding. The whole structure is connected by rods, ensuring excellent durability for the large facility. To accelerate the construction process of the production hall, we use prefabricated components that were prepared in advance.

Efficient construction of production halls with BTS Development using prefabricates

What are prefabricates, and why is it so important to prepare construction elements off-site for the industrial hall’s construction? Prefabrication refers to the process of producing large-dimensional elements used in the construction of a building. These are produced industrially, away from the construction site. The goal of using prefabricates in the steel hall construction is to significantly speed up the work, improve the quality of the elements, and ensure their precisely measured dimensions. This helps to maintain the perfect dimensions and shape of the previously designed production hall structure. A major advantage of using prefabricates is also independence from weather conditions.

The process of creating prefabricates, based on the previously prepared project, takes place in a production hall. We use modern machines for this purpose, which allows us to shape steel elements properly, drill holes, etc. Once the prefabricated components pass quality control and have the correct dimensions, they are anti-corrosion protected. In subsequent stages, the prefabricates are transported to the construction site, where they are used to create the hall structure.

Building a new production hall or expanding an existing one?

In addition to constructing new production halls, BTS Development also specializes in expanding existing facilities. This option is particularly worth considering if you already have a steel hall in good technical condition. If you need more space, for example, to expand your production line, it is worth considering expanding your existing steel hall.

The process of expanding a production hall is similar to building a new facility. Based on your requirements and the existing structure, we plan its expansion together. Expanding an industrial hall is usually much cheaper than constructing an entirely new building. However, it’s important to remember that building a new production hall offers significantly more possibilities, and the modern facility can serve for many years.

Modern technologies and durable materials

Steel is a very durable material that also offers great potential for shaping its form. No wonder that this material is used in the construction of bridges, viaducts, roofs, and tall towers and masts. The highest quality materials, along with modern technologies, allow for the rapid construction of monumental buildings. The construction process is also much cheaper than if we used other materials. Steel has an excellent combination of strength and flexibility, and it is possible to influence its properties significantly by adding appropriate alloys during the smelting process or by properly processing the steel components.

Steel structures are huge facilities that stand out for their scale and complexity. This is exactly what steel halls are like – providing huge interior spaces. Their advantages include the ability to almost freely plan the layout of the production hall. This allows the building to be perfectly tailored to each client’s individual needs.

Why do we build production halls from steel?

Just a few decades ago, concrete, reinforced concrete, and even brick were primarily used to build production halls, warehouses, and similar large-volume buildings. Without delving into the intricacies of large hall construction, it might seem that these materials are ideal for such purposes. However, in reality, steel structures surpass them in almost every aspect!

Steel halls can be built at an impressive pace, regardless of the season. The cost of the investment is much lower than for brick or reinforced concrete-based structures. Steel halls are also far more durable, and their simple maintenance ensures economical operation for many years. The main advantages of steel used in production hall construction include:

  • Resistance to bending
  • Tensile strength
  • Compression resistance
  • High durability
  • Easy processing – enabling precise prefabrication of components

Steel halls with many applications

The design of a steel hall allows great flexibility in shaping the final appearance of the building. At BTS Development, we are capable of building a hall with the dimensions and shape that suit your needs. This is crucial as it allows you to optimize the entire production or storage process. In a properly sized hall, you can easily plan the most efficient production process. Depending on the requirements, such a large facility can be used in many ways.

The most common uses of steel halls are:

  • Production halls
  • Warehouses (storage halls)
  • Agricultural buildings (crop storage, storing agricultural equipment)
  • Sports and recreational areas
