SteelTek Systems provide a range of prefabricated light steel buildings and custom made steel buildings that are easy to construct.

Suitable for use as Temporary Offices, Emergency Housing, Civilian Disaster and Emergency Relief Shelters, Social and Private Housing, Flats, Commercial buildings, Temporary Housing, Student accommodation, Schools, Military Buildings, Sheds, Garages, Agricultural and Storage buildings, our precision design and manufacturing meet and exceed industry standards and provide you with a high quality, durable, steel framed structure.

Steel has become the most popular framing material in the UK, especially for multi-storey and single storey industrial buildings. Whilst it has traditionally been used in the commercial sector, steel is increasingly being used within all sectors of the construction industry. There is a growing interest in the residential sector which is a reflection of the ongoing changes in design trends and the housing crisis in the UK and Europe.

MILITARY APPLICATIONS FOR CUSTOM DESIGNED STRUCTURES

SteelTek have recently been working to provide a custom built Mortuary Unit and IED Check Room to be used alongside the new 'state of the art' field hospital in Southern Afghanistan.

The new Medical Treatment Facility will significantly increase the capabilities of the medical team who already provide excellent treatment for service personnel.

CUSTOM DESIGNED STRUCTURES


Competitively priced, with a 10 year warranty (steel manufacturers), SteelTek can provide a pre-designed structure or design and manufacture a building customised exactly to fit your requirements.

Our range of buildings are designed to comply with all relevant codes as set down by Council and Statutory Authorities.



Why choose a steel framed building?

• Steel is a tough, durable material
• Fireproof material
• Low maintenance
• Easy and rapid construction
• Steel is resistant to most weather conditions
• Steel does not rot, warp, shrink or split
• No heavy machinery or specialist equipment required
• Steel components weigh up to 60% less than wood
• Steel is repeatedly recyclable
• 100% usable space- no trusses or beams
• Competitively priced
• Secure storage

Research and development into the use of light gauge steel means that cold rolled sections have now been widely adopted for structural elements such as Purlins and rails, floor decking, supports for infill walls and demountable partitions. Light steel framing forms the basis of rapid dry site construction from components that have been manufactured off site and provide a stable well insulated and air tight structure.

Components are manufactured and assembled at SteelTek’s factory in Hursley in Hampshire. Components and frames are then delivered direct to the building site either in flat pack for construction on site or as pre-made panels. The SteelTek Building System (SBS) exceeds industry standards in terms of precision, speed and accuracy and allows typical construction details to be adjusted minutes before manufacture commences.

DESIGN AND BUILD

SteelTek Systems works closely with customers at all stages of the design and build process. After supplying us with your initial plans, our design and build team will produce a set of plans, designs and calculations and convert the architect’s drawings into framing files that can then be converted into light steel sections. Lead times for delivery will be dependent on the size and detail of the project.

STEEL FRAME WORKSHOPS, SHEDS AND GARAGES

SteelTek Systems offers a range of prefabricated, engineer designed steel framed agricultural, home and industrial buildings supplied as do-it-yourself pre-packed kits. These kits are manufactured to order and delivered within 7 days of the order being placed.

The kit contains all the components necessary to erect the building yourself, including engineer’s drawing and a step by step illustrated guide on how to construct your building. With pre cut and predrilled holes using self tapping tek screws, no welding, cutting or drilling is required.

STEELTEK BUILDING SYSTEM (SBS)

The Steeltek Building System (SBS) can be used for buildings up to four storeys high where differential movement of materials can be accommodated. SteelTek can accommodate panel sizes up to 6m x 3.5m at the factory and larger panels on site. SteelTek Building Systems (SBS) is ideal for a wide range of structural applications as it is flexible in its use.

They can provide individual frames, trusses and lattice joists for a whole host of applications for conventional construction. Designs can be ‘tailor-made’ to the application and delivered ‘just in time’ to the site. Typical examples include:

• Floor Joists
• Section Range & Sizes
• Panel Sizes & Features
• Stud Selection
• Modular Construction

ON SITE - OFF SITE ASSEMBLY

Offsite construction is becoming the smarter way to build. One of the conclusions reached by the Egan Report published in 1998 on the housing construction industry was that there should be more focus on prefabrication and offsite manufacturing.

A steel framing building system manufacture components off-site and then delivers them cut to length, drilled and fabricated to site ‘just in time’ to facilitate rapid and easy assembly and erection.

Benefits of Off Site Construction

• Able to manufacture in inclement weather
• Shorter onsite construction
• Lessens impact on local environment
• Safer construction
• Factory production minimises material wastage
• Wastage and trimming are recyclable
• CAD integrated technology ensures precision components
• Eliminates the requirement for on-site skilled labour
• Just in time delivery – no need for onsite storage
• Ideal for situations where site access is difficult or restricted.

SteelTek Systems has access to a fully experienced labour force and can facilitate on site assembly if required.
