Putting Up a Detention Center? A Pre-Engineered Steel Building is Your Best Choice
Let's face it. A detention center is unlike any other ordinary building. Set in an extremely tough environment and occupied by a rather hostile user group, a detention center can deteriorate up to four or five times faster than a similarly constructed building.
In addition, since most detention centers are made of concrete, upgrading the existing plumbing and electrical systems (which happens to be encased within the concrete walls) and the entire facility in general is next to impossible. Aside from the exorbitant costs involved, any upgrades would be difficult to implement due to security issues. For these reasons, using a pre-engineered steel building would be the most logical choice when putting up a new detention center.
A pre-engineered metal detention facility provides a safe and secure environment for people awaiting trial as well as for sentenced misdemeanants. Steel's inherent strength and durability allows it to withstand extreme wear and tear without compromising its structural stability while its flexibility allows for easy and cost-effective renovations and repairs. No wonder, steel buildings are ideal for Level I Minimum Security jails all the way to Level VI Super Maximum Security prisons.
Aside from its durability, flexibility and cost efficiency, pre-engineered steel buildings are also easy to maintain. In fact, it doesn't require much to keep it in top condition. When you get your metal building from a reputable manufacturer such as Arco Building Systems, you will also get a 25 year manufacturer's warranty against rusting, fading and chalking, and a one-year workmanship warranty as well. This means that you can use your metal detention facility for years without worrying about any expensive repairs and renovations. Doesn't that sound like a great deal? Of course, it does!
