Key Benefits with Starmodul
Introduction
When building an industrial building, one of the most important decisions is the type of structure. More and more professionals, developers and companies are asking themselves the same question:
is a traditional welded metal structure better than a bolted metal structure?
The answer is clear for those looking for speed, flexibility, cost savings and ease of assembly: the bolted metal structure has become the most efficient and modern solution.
In this article we explain what a bolted metal structure is, why it is ideal for industrial buildings and what specific advantages Starmodul’s system offers over traditional methods.
The Problem: Building an Industrial Building Quickly and Efficiently
Industrial construction often faces several common challenges:
- ⏱️ Long lead times
- 💰 High skilled labor costs.
- 🔥 Reliance on qualified welders.
- ❌ Difficulty in modifying or expanding the vessel in the future.
- 🚧 Risks and complexity in the construction site
Welded structures require hot work, additional controls, longer erection time and little flexibility once completed. This is a problem both for companies that need speed and for individuals or developers looking to control the budget.
The Solution: Bolted Metal Structure for Industrial Buildings
The bolted metal structure eliminates most of these problems. It is based on machined metal profiles that are assembled by means of bolted joints, without the need for welding.
With the Starmodul system, this solution goes one step further thanks to a patented system of joints, designed to facilitate assembly and guarantee maximum structural strength.
What does a bolted metal structure provide?
- Quick and clean assembly
- No welding required
- Increased cost control
- Possibility of disassembly or expansion
- Industrial precision
Benefits of Choosing a Bolted Metal Frame with Starmodul
1. Fast and Weld-Free Assembly
One of the biggest benefits is that you don’t need to solder.
This implies:
- ❌ No hot work
- 👷♂️ Reduced reliance on skilled labor
- 🧩 Intuitive mounting by means of bolts and screws
Even teams with no welding experience can assemble the structure following the drawings provided by Starmodul.
2. Construction Cost Savings
By reducing:
- Assembly hours
- Skilled labor
- Errors on site
- Rework
The final cost of the industrial building is significantly optimized. In addition, Starmodul offers customized material appraisals, adjusted to each project, without unnecessary costs.
3. Total Design Flexibility
Unlike closed systems or standard models, the Starmodul system allows:
- Designing customized ships
- Adapting to the terrain
- Create wide spans without intermediate pillars
- Easy integration of sandwich panel enclosures
This makes the bolted metal structure an ideal solution for both:
- Industrial buildings
- Logistics warehouses
- Workshops
- Expansions of existing buildings
4. Expansion or Modification Facility
Do you need to expand your vessel in a few years?
With a bolted structure:
- ✅ Can be partially disassembled
- ✅ Enlarge modules
- ✅ Reconfigure spaces
This is practically impossible in traditional welded structures without major additional costs.
5. Precision and Industrial Quality
Starmodul structures are manufactured with high precision, which guarantees:
- Perfect fit
- Quick assembly
- Fewer on-site errors
- Increased durability
This translates into a solid, reliable and heavy-duty industrial building.
Choosing a bolted metal structure for your industrial building is to bet on:
- Speed
- Savings
- Flexibility
- Security
- Future
With the Starmodul system, you don’t just build a ship, you optimize the entire construction process.
