Steel plays the main role in the construction of load-bearing structures. The versatile steel construction sector includes bridge, hall and hydraulic steel construction and other projects such as stadium structures. At UnionStahl, we are optimally prepared for the special requirements of steel as a construction Steel grades.
Our versatile steel construction range of unalloyed structural steel grades, normalized fine-grain structural steel grades, thermomechanically rolled fine-grain structural steel grades, high-strength steel grades and weather-resistant steel grades offers the optimum and economical solution for various applications.
Special requirements are placed on the steel grades to be processed for the trough bridge type: Ultrasonic testing, weld-on bending test by rolling plate and tensile test in thickness direction (Z35). Sheets wider than 3,500 mm and longer than 12,000 mm are often required. This, in combination with high unit weights, is one of UnionStahl’s strengths.
With heavy plates in accordance with DBS 918002-02 from Deutsche Bahn, we have specialized in the requirements of bridge construction.
One area with special requirements is hydraulic steel construction. This segment includes the construction of trades for lock gates, dock gates, bottom outlets (of dams), weir locks and ship lifts.
Classic hall construction and the construction of stadiums are another focus of steel construction. The advantage here is the comparatively short planning and construction time that would be required if other Steel grades were used.
We have adapted to the Steel grades requirements of the steel construction industry and store structural steel grades in accordance with EN 10025-2 with the following specifications:
With a stock of approx. 60,000 tons of heavy plate, UnionStahl is the full-range supplier in the heavy plate sector with close and cooperative links to all European heavy plate manufacturers.
