Engineering for Hurricane Season

Making sure your prefab metal building is engineered properly for hurricane season should be top-of-mind for many of our customers. There are simply too many companies who will claim to sell you a reliable hurricane-rate steel building structure, but the reality is, the building is under-engineered for the wind speeds in your locale.

Reliable Steel Building Structures

According to Jim Elsner at the National Typhoon Center, it’s becoming increasingly more important to be mindful of hurricanes in the United States.

“We’re seeing fewer hurricanes, but the ones we do see are more intense,” Elsner said.

In other words, it’s more imperative than ever to buy your metal building from a dependable and reputable company. Here’s three steel building structure reviews that prove General Steel buildings are second to none when it comes to enduring hurricanes.

Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy was declared a category 1 tropical storm as it approached the east coast but was reclassified as a category 2 hurricane as it made landfall. This storm in particular showed all of us that even a category 1 or 2 storm can cause significant damage.

Albert's General Steel Building

Albert originally purchased our church design package to conduct due diligence and raise the appropriate amount of funding for his synagogue project in New York. Looking back, it’s a good thing our team at General Steel was asked to oversee the entire process because we made sure the building was engineered for his location and designed according to Albert’s vision. When Sandy hit New York, Albert’s General Steel building was up for the challenge.

“We wanted strength and Sandy’s 90 mph gusts proved that we had it. We wanted a mezzanine with concrete floors and we got that too. We wanted to celebrate in unobstructed spaces and your design team made happen. We wanted a soaring sanctuary to add dignity and reverence and we got that too. We wanted beauty and it turned out just heavenly!”
