Engineered Steel Buildings

Flexibility

Waldroop steel structures are custom designed and engineered to meet the unique design requirements for your specific needs.  Building use and expectations, location, codes, loads and other variables are considered to achieve the end goal of all involved.  

Durability

Intended to last for decades, steel buildings meet the strictest construction standards.  Waldroop products are tested hail impact, fire, wind driven rain, snow loads and high velocity winds.  

Design

Waldroop Steel uses MBS design software to ensure your steel structure meets design specifications.  From the first quote until the final review and shipping you can rest assured your building will fulfill code requirements for your site.  Each building is provided with detailed drawings to optimize your job site operations.

Steel Framing Systems

Rigid Main Frame

Tapered columns and beams allow for the widest possible spans for open areas without interior columns.  This clearspan frame type can be configured with a centered or offset peak.  

Single Slope

These designs are commonly seen as strip mall shopping centers.  The design is conducive for store fronts, signage and directing rainfall to the rear of the structure.  Parapet walls and wall facade systems are often utilized to equalize or vary heights along the structure for particular design aesthetics.  This frame type may also be used to extend existing buildings.

Straight Column / Tapered Beam

Straight columns allow for more flexibility for interior finishes while utilizing a tapered beam maximizing economy while meeting engineering requirements.  This design simplifies interior wall covering systems and is often used where multiple interior wall partitions are incorporated into the design.  

Column & Beam

Column & Beam, also called Post & Beam, are often used as the end wall frames.  Framed openings can still easily be incorporated.  Column and beam can be used as interior main frames as well where columns are allowed.  When the interior use allows for intermediate columns along the width of the frame it evenly distributes building loads, thereby, increasing economy of design.  

Lean To

A structure that has the high side eave attached to an existing column and beam or conventional rigid frame building.  A lean to is a common solution for increasing square footage.
