What Is Industrial Steel Frame Engineering?
**Direct Answer:** Industrial steel frame engineering encompasses professional design of structural steel building systems for industrial applications. In Tustin, licensed Professional Engineers design steel moment frames, braced frames, and other lateral systems, along with gravity framing, crane systems, and specialized industrial loading requirements while meeting California's stringent seismic codes.
Steel frames offer advantages for industrial buildings including long spans, high clear heights, and construction efficiency that support warehouse and manufacturing operations.
What Steel Frame Services Are Available?
**Direct Answer:** Tustin industrial steel frame services include new construction design, building expansion engineering, crane system design, mezzanine additions, seismic retrofit of steel buildings, and connection design.
**New Steel Building Design** Complete structural engineering for ground-up steel frame construction, from concept through permit-ready plans.
**Building Expansion** Adding bays or extending existing steel buildings requires careful coordination with existing framing systems.
**Crane Systems** Industrial cranes require specialized structural support designed for dynamic loads and cyclic fatigue.
**Mezzanine Additions** Adding floor area within existing clear height through steel mezzanine construction.
