Industrial steel structures, while inherently non-combustible, are susceptible to significant strength loss and deformation when exposed to the high temperatures generated during a fire. This can lead to structural collapse, posing a severe risk to life and property. Therefore, fire resistance is a critical consideration in the design and construction of industrial steel structures. Fire resistance of […]

Shortening the construction cycle of steel structures is a critical goal for many projects, as it can significantly reduce costs and accelerate project handover. Here are some key tips and strategies to achieve this. Tips for shortening the construction cycle of steel structures I. Pre-Construction & Planning Phase: Early Contractor Involvement (ECI): Engage fabricators and erectors early […]

Installing a double-row ball slewing bearing is a complex process that requires precision and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Here’s a general outline of the steps involved, along with key considerations. Always refer to the specific installation manual provided by the bearing manufacturer for detailed instructions and torque specifications for your particular bearing model. Double-row Ball Slewing Bearing […]

Slewing bearings withstand radial loads through a combination of their internal geometry, the distribution of force across multiple rolling elements, and the structural rigidity of their rings. How Slewing Bearings Withstand Radial Loads 1. The Foundation: What is a Radial Load? First, let’s be clear on the force we’re talking about. In the context of a […]

Choosing the right welding rotator for wind tower fabrication is crucial for ensuring efficient, high-quality welds and safe operations. Wind towers are large, heavy, and often have varying diameters, requiring robust and adaptable equipment. How To Choose Wind Tower Welding Rotator I. Key Factors to Consider: Load Capacity: Wind tower sections are incredibly heavy, ranging […]
