Faster to build, easier to change
A steel frame turns a multi-storey building into a manufactured product. Columns and beams arrive cut, drilled and coated; floors are formed with steel deck that needs no props in many spans; and the frame rises while services and façades follow floor by floor. Lighter structures need smaller foundations – a decisive advantage on soft ground and in seismic regions.
World Steel engineers and fabricates complete multi-storey frames: columns, primary and secondary beams, composite floors, braced or moment-resisting cores, stairs, canopies and façade support steel – with connections detailed for fast erection and fire protection matched to the code.
Building types
Multi-storey solutions
One frame system adapted to the use, span and height of the building.
6–15 storeys +
15–16 m clear spans
Car parks
Long-span beams give column-free parking bays, fast erection and open, naturally ventilated decks.
12–18 m +
Long-span cellular beams
Beams with web openings carry services within the structural depth – lower floor-to-floor heights for the same span.
deck + studs + slab
Composite floors
Trapezoidal steel deck with welded shear studs acts compositely with the slab – stiffer, lighter and faster floors.

Engenharia
Fire protection matched to the code
Fire resistance is planned with the structure: section sizes, exposure and required rating decide between intumescent coatings, boards or sprayed protection. Intumescent systems can be applied in our factory under controlled conditions, so the frame arrives protected and site work shrinks.
Where the code allows, fire engineering and composite slab behaviour reduce protection on secondary beams – a significant cost and time saving.
Engenharia
Connections designed for erection speed
Simple fin-plate and end-plate connections for gravity framing, bolted splices every two to three storeys and braced or moment-resisting cores for stability – all detailed in a 3D model, with clash-free penetrations for services.
Columns are spliced and erected in multi-storey lifts, deck is laid as a working platform, and the floor cycle is set by the crane, not by concrete curing.

Perguntas frequentes
How tall can a steel-framed building be?
Steel frames are used from low-rise to super-tall buildings. Our typical scope covers buildings of about 3–20 storeys with composite floors and braced or moment-frame stability systems; taller buildings are reviewed case by case.
Is a steel frame more expensive than concrete?
Frame cost per square metre can be similar or higher, but steel frames are lighter (smaller foundations), faster to erect and give longer spans – the total project cost and programme are often lower, especially on poor ground or tight schedules.
How is the steel frame protected against fire?
With intumescent coatings (often applied in our factory), boards or sprayed systems, sized to the required fire rating, section factor and the tested product data – or by fire engineering where the code allows.
What spans are possible?
About 6–12 m with composite beams, 12–18 m and more with cellular beams, and around 15–16 m clear spans for car parks – final sizes depend on loads, vibration and services.
Can you supply in seismic regions?
Yes – braced and moment frames are fabricated to AISC 341, EN 1998, NZS 3404 or TCVN 9386 requirements as specified. See our seismic steel solution for details.
