Choose an All-Metal Chemical Storage Building for Safety

Nothing beats a pre-engineered steel building when it comes to chemical storage. These structures provide numerous advantages over traditional construction and are guaranteed to meet or exceed model safety codes. What makes an all-metal building ideal for such applications? Here's why.

Pre-engineered steel buildings provide the ultimate safety.

The materials being stored in such facilities are extremely sensitive in nature so they need to be protected at all times – especially when you are conducting building maintenance and modifications. This would not be an issue if you are using pre-engineered metal buildings since these structures require minimal maintenance and can easily be expanded with minimal disruptions to your operations.

In addition, these structures are virtually fire-proof so you can safely store hazmat (hazardous materials) classified materials without fearing for your employees' safety. Needless to say, you can get that much needed peace of mind when you choose to build with steel.

They are more cost-efficient.

Aside from the fact that they can be 30% to 50% more affordable than traditional construction, an all-metal building does not have any associated architectural and engineering fees and require minimal contractor's fees. These structures also allow you to save on your heating and cooling costs since they can be effectively insulated to provide the ideal conditions inside the building. And due to the fact that pre-engineered metal buildings are built with safety in mind, they also have lower insurance premiums.

They are environmentally friendly.

Building with steel is good for the environment since it can easily be recycled at the end of its life without losing any of its desirable properties. Steel buildings are rated highly on the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ratings system so you may qualify for certain financial incentives when you choose to build one for your commercial or industrial application.
