What Is a Prefabricated Steel Structure Building?

A prefabricated steel structure building is a bolt-together steel frame system in which every column, rafter, purlin, and connection plate is precision-cut, drilled, and welded in our factory — then containerized and shipped to your site for rapid assembly.

Unlike traditional on-site steel fabrication (which is slow, weather-dependent, and expensive in most countries), our approach delivers:

· 30–50% faster construction compared to conventional steel erection

· Zero on-site welding — 100% bolted connections

· Lower total project cost through factory efficiency and reduced site labor

· Consistent quality — every component passes dimensional inspection before packing

· This is not a "steel kit." This is a fully engineered structure, designed to your local wind, snow, and seismic loads.

Case｜420 m² Private Indoor Riding Arena, Moncton, New Brunswick

Project Location: Moncton, New Brunswick Building Type: Indoor Riding Arena Floor Area: 420 m² (14 m × 30 m) Eave Height: 4.5 m; Ridge Height: 6.5 m Delivery Schedule: 22‑day design + 30‑day manufacturing + 28‑day land transportation & erection

Project Background

The client is a private equestrian enthusiast and amateur trainer with six horses, requiring an all‑year‑round indoor training facility. New Brunswick experiences long winters from November to April with alternating rain and snow, leaving outdoor riding grounds usable for less than five months per year. The specified roof snow load is 3.0 kPa (Ss = 2.5, Sr = 0.5).

Technical Solution

• Portal‑frame structure with 14 m clear span and 5.0 m column spacing. Eave height raised to 4.5 m (minimum clearance of ≥ 3.6 m for horse riding passage).
• 100 mm rock‑wool sandwich roof panels (to prevent cold‑season condensation drips that may spook horses).
• 75 mm rock‑wool sandwich wall panels. 20 mm‑thick rubber protective padding fitted on interior wall kick‑boards up to 1.8 m height, protecting steel wall panels from horse‑kick damage.
• Flooring: 120 mm‑deep professional equestrian silica‑sand‑fiber mix riding surface, laid over drainage layer and geotextile fabric.
• Daylighting: Continuous translucent FRP wall‑side skylight strips along both eaves (approximately 20 % of total wall area).
• Ventilation: Four low‑noise variable‑speed exhaust fans installed at ridge level to avoid spooking horses with loud operating noise.
• Auxiliary spaces: A 4 m × 6 m tack room and feed storage room partitioned at one end of the building.

Project Highlights

Continuous FRP eave skylights deliver even natural daylight, eliminating daytime artificial lighting needs. Indoor temperature stays above 0 °C in winter relying solely on horses’ body heat plus rock‑wool thermal insulation; no supplementary heating is required.

Client testimonial: “We can ride every single day this winter, just like in summer.”

Frequently Asked Questions

· How long does it take from order to delivery?

· Typical timeline: design & engineering 15–25 working days + fabrication 25–50 working days + ocean freight (varies by destination; e.g., 22 days to West Africa, 30 days to Europe, 35 days to East Coast North America). Most projects arrive on site within 10–14 weeks of order confirmation.

· Can you handle the structural design and calculations?

· Yes. Our in-house engineering team produces a complete structural package — frame analysis, connection design, foundation reaction tables, and anchor bolt layouts — referenced to your local building code. We can also coordinate with your local engineer of record for plan review and permit submission.
