Construction Performance of Rising Steel Structures: An Industrial Innovation for Efficiency and Precision
Steel structures have completely transformed the construction mode of traditional buildings, achieving dual breakthroughs in efficiency and quality through their highly industrialized characteristics. Their components can be produced in factories in a standardized and mechanized manner, resulting in high-precision finished products and high production efficiency. Subsequently, on-site rapid assembly is carried out via welding seams, bolts, rivets, or other methods, shortening the construction period by 30%-50% compared with cast-in-place concrete structures. Taking a 1,000-square-meter building as an example, the main structure can be completed by only 5 workers in 20 days; for rural self-built houses, the total construction period of steel structures is only 45-60 days, far lower than the over 120 days required for traditional brick-concrete structures.
The flexibility and adaptability of the construction process are equally impressive. Steel structure construction adopts dry operation, reducing dust emissions by 90% and water consumption by 60%. Moreover, the decoration phase can be carried out simultaneously with the main construction, significantly shortening the overall construction cycle. With the help of BIM technology, full-process digital management from design and production to construction is realized, which can accurately control component processing errors, improve on-site installation efficiency, and avoid the coordination costs of cross-operation among multiple trades in traditional construction. Its lightweight feature also simplifies transportation and hoisting processes, reducing logistics costs and construction difficulty, and is particularly suitable for projects in complex terrain or with strict requirements on construction cycles.
