STRUCTURES FOR VEHICLES AND PARKING LOTS
We design metal garages and carports using steel profiles and StarModul bolted connections. Solutions for single or multiple parking spaces at homes, businesses, residential complexes, and parking facilities.
STARMODUL SYSTEM
The StarModul system allows for the configuration of columns, beams, and roof elements using prefabricated profiles and mechanical connections. The geometry adapts to the number of vehicles, clearance requirements, maneuvering needs, and type of roofing.
ADVANTAGES
Compatible joints are assembled using fasteners, reducing the need for welding during assembly.
Width, depth, height, and pillar spacing are adjusted to accommodate the vehicles and the available space.
Profiles, thicknesses, and reinforcements are determined based on geometry, roof type, wind, snow, and supports.
Components can be prepared, machined, and labeled before they arrive at the job site.
Steel protection is specified based on the environment and the required durability.
The structure can be designed in terms of spaces or modules, with future expansions in mind.
APPLICATIONS
The structure can be configured for residential, community, commercial, or industrial use. Each project is tailored to the specific requirements of vehicles, traffic flow, the lot, the roof, and site conditions.
CAR CANOPIES
Open carports protect vehicles from the sun and the elements while leaving the sides open. They can be configured as freestanding structures or attached to a house or building.
METAL GARAGES
A garage structure can be prepared to incorporate walls, a door, lighting, and other finishes specified in the project. When attached to a building, the facade, the existing structure, and the fasteners must be inspected.
PARKING FOR BUSINESSES
For larger parking lots, modular, repetitive structures can be designed to accommodate traffic flow and the dimensions of the parking lot. The integration of solar panels on the roof can also be considered.
STRUCTURE CONFIGURATION
Quantity, dimensions, vehicle type, door opening, and required maneuver.
Width, depth, headroom, column locations, entrances, and circulation.
Type of roofing, slopes, gutters, fascia boards, and potential integration of solar panels.
Base plates, anchors, foundation, and, if applicable, attachment to the existing building.
SAFETY, DRAINAGE, AND DURABILITY
Safety depends on structural calculations, anchors, the deck, and a well-designed circulation layout. In maneuvering areas, the position of the columns must also be evaluated, as well as, where applicable, their protection against impacts.
3D CONFIGURATOR
Use the StarModul 3D configurator to design an initial geometry and obtain preliminary information on profiles and connections. The final design must be reviewed based on loads, the roof structure, anchors, and intended use.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A carport is typically an open structure that protects vehicles with a roof. A garage may include walls, a door, and auxiliary spaces, in addition to the structure and the roof.
Yes. The structure can be configured for a single parking space, two vehicles, or parking lots with multiple spaces. The layout depends on the dimensions, traffic flow, spans, and the required positioning of the columns.
Yes, provided that the existing structure and exterior walls are inspected and the mounting method is properly specified. A freestanding structure located next to the facade could also be considered.
It can be integrated with sandwich panels, sheet metal, polycarbonate, or other systems, including photovoltaic panels. The weight, slope, flashings, and water drainage must be determined before the final calculation.
It requires supports and anchors appropriate for the loads and the existing foundation. The solution may require foundation blocks, footings, plates, or specific fasteners and must be determined after inspecting the ground or the slab.
Location, number and type of vehicles, approximate dimensions, photographs of the space, type of roof, and whether the structure will be freestanding or attached. Plans of the lot or the existing foundation are also helpful.
