Industrial steel construction
Industrial structural steel is the backbone of modern production facilities. At Talleres ECI we design, fabricate and install steel structures that meet the load, regulatory and functional requirements of each project.
We work with hot-rolled profiles (HEB, IPE, UPN, structural tube) in carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and their alloys, complying with the Spanish Building Code (CTE) and Eurocode 3 on projects that require it.
We hold EN 1090 EXC-3 certification, the most demanding execution class for the fabrication of structural steel, which allows us to take on projects with the highest structural safety requirements.
Our team covers the full cycle: from structural calculation and fabrication drawings through to galvanising or painting and final installation on site or in plant.
Types of structures we fabricate
- Work and maintenance platforms
- Industrial walkways and bridges
- Industrial and emergency staircases
- Handrails and perimeter guards
- Machinery supports and bases
- Industrial building structures
- Metal canopies and shelters
- Mezzanines and intermediate floors
- Structures for process equipment
- Pipe and duct support systems
Advantages of structural steel
High strength-to-weight ratio
Steel allows for long spans and heavy loads with optimised sections, reducing the overall weight of the structure.
Workshop prefabrication
Maximum work carried out in a controlled workshop environment, minimum on-site installation time, reducing interference with production.
Expandable and adaptable
Steel structures can be extended or modified in future without demolition, adapting to the facility's growth.
Finishes and protection
The durability of a metal structure depends largely on its surface finish. We offer several options depending on the working environment:
- Two-component paint (epoxy + polyurethane)
- Hot-dip galvanising (HDG)
- Zinc or aluminium metallisation
- Special coatings for chemical or marine environments
- High-resistance anti-corrosion primer
- Stainless steel for aggressive environments
Work process
-
01
Data collection and site visit
Site visit to take measurements, check environmental conditions and define load and regulatory requirements.
-
02
Design and structural calculation
3D modelling, limit-state calculation and preparation of fabrication and installation drawings.
-
03
Workshop fabrication
Cutting, forming, welding and pre-assembly in the workshop with continuous dimensional control.
-
04
Surface treatment
Shot blasting, galvanising or painting to specification, with coating-thickness control.
-
05
Installation on site
Our own installation team with suitable lifting equipment. Coordinated with the client's production manager.
-
06
Handover and documentation
As-built drawings, material and welding certificates, and declaration of conformity where applicable.
