Choosing steel sections for your project
Start with the project brief: application, site conditions and technical requirements should come before comparing offers.
AXON / JOURNAL Start with the project brief: application, site conditions and technical requirements should come before comparing offers.
Define the application
Beams, channels, angles and hollow sections serve different purposes. Structural section selection follows the project’s engineering design, including loads, connections and environmental conditions.
Make offers comparable
- Specify section type, dimensions, thickness and length.
- Include the required grade, standard and documentation.
- State quantity, delivery point, coating and cutting requirements.
Connect sourcing with installation
Check available sizes, transport constraints and the site schedule together. A clear purchasing list makes supplier discussions more precise.
Keep exploring.
