Planning a steel structure building in Sri Lanka?
HCD develops engineered structural steel systems for industrial,
commercial, institutional and selected residential projects.
We design the structural framework around your required building dimensions,
clear spans, height, loading, operational layout, architectural requirements
and site conditions. Depending on the project scope HCD can coordinate

STRUCTURAL STEEL SYSTEMS
Engineered Steel Structures Built Around Your Project
A successful steel building starts with the correct structural system.
Column positions, beam arrangements, roof structure, bracing, connections
and foundations must work together as one engineered frame.
HCD develops steel structure buildings in Sri Lanka
around the intended use of the completed facility. The structure can
therefore be planned around storage, machinery, production areas,
vehicle movement, office spaces, customer areas and future expansion.
Rather than treating structural steel as an isolated element HCD can
develop it as part of the complete building requirement.

COMPLETE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
Structural Steel Building Components
A steel structure building is a coordinated structural system.
The primary members, secondary members, connections and foundations
must work together according to the engineering requirements of
the building.
- Primary structural steel columns
- Structural beams and rafters
- H-section steel framing
- Roof structural systems
- Purlins and secondary members
- Structural bracing systems
- Steel connection detailing
- Base plates and anchoring systems
- Bolted structural connections
- Welded structural connections
- Reinforced concrete foundations subject to scope
- Roofing systems
- Wall cladding systems
- Thermal insulation options
- Gutters and downpipes
- Industrial flooring subject to scope
- Ventilation provisions
- Natural-lighting provisions
- Commercial glazing where required
- Architectural finishing systems
Structural member sizes, sections, connections, foundations
and construction details are determined according to the
engineering requirements of each project.
ENGINEERED AS ONE SYSTEM
How a Structural Steel Building Works
The strength and performance of a steel building depend on how
the complete structural system works together. HCD considers the
relationship between columns, beams, roof members, bracing,
foundations and connections when developing the structure.
Primary Structure
Structural columns and beams form the principal load-bearing
framework of the building.
Roof Structure
Rafters, trusses and purlins are developed around the required
span, roof geometry and roofing system.
Structural Bracing
Bracing systems support structural stability according
to the engineering requirements of the project.
Foundation Connections
Structural columns connect to engineered foundations using
suitable base plates and anchoring systems.
H-SECTION STRUCTURAL STEEL
H-Iron Steel Structure Buildings
HCD can develop H-section and H-Iron structural steel systems
for warehouses, factories, industrial buildings and other projects
requiring robust primary structural framing.
Section sizes, column spacing, connection systems, roof configuration
and bracing arrangements are developed according to building span,
clear height, structural loading and project requirements.
HCD's experience includes purpose-built H-Iron structural systems
for commercial and industrial applications in Sri Lanka.
VERTICAL STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
Multi-Storey Steel Structure Buildings
Structural steel can also be developed for buildings requiring
multiple levels. These projects require careful coordination of
columns, beams, floor systems, connections, lateral stability
and foundations.
HCD can develop multi-storey steel structures for suitable commercial,
institutional, office, accommodation and mixed-use applications
according to the project requirements.
FROM STRUCTURE TO BUILDING
Roofing, Cladding & Architectural Integration
The structural frame is only one part of the completed building.
HCD can coordinate the steel structure with roofing, external walls
and architectural elements according to the agreed project scope.
Projects can incorporate metal roofing, insulated roofing systems,
wall cladding, gutters, downpipes, ventilation openings and translucent
roofing sections where appropriate.
Commercial buildings can also integrate masonry, glazed façades,
aluminium systems, canopies, office areas and other architectural finishes.
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT
Foundations for Steel Structure Buildings
The steel frame and foundation need to perform as one structural system.
Foundation requirements depend on structural loads, building dimensions,
site levels, soil conditions and the configuration of the steel structure.
Depending on project scope HCD can incorporate reinforced concrete
footings, pedestals, base plates and anchoring systems for the
structural building.
Industrial projects can also include reinforced concrete floor slabs
developed around machinery, storage systems, vehicle movement
and operational loading requirements.

HCD™ STRUCTURAL BUILDING CAPABILITY
More Than a Steel Frame
HCD approaches structural steel as part of the completed building
rather than simply supplying individual steel members.
Our scope can extend from structural planning and engineering
into fabrication, site erection, roofing, cladding and associated
construction according to the requirements of the project.
This gives clients the option of coordinating the steel structure
and the wider building requirement through one project team.

PROJECT COST
Steel Structure Building Cost in Sri Lanka
There is no single fixed square-foot price that accurately represents
every steel structure building. Cost depends on building width,
length, clear height, structural spans, loading requirements,
steel quantity, connections, foundations and total construction scope.
A factory, warehouse, commercial building and multi-storey structure
may have similar floor areas but require very different structural systems.
Send HCD your building dimensions, project location, intended use
and drawings if available. Our team can review the requirement
and determine the appropriate structural scope.
