The new concept of “Smart Techno Design”

Following a new concept, PK VESTA has created unique opportunities for international customers to design custom steel buildings by themselves in the new WebSteel online service via the Internet in the technological capabilities of the plant, followed by ordering a building kit to anywhere in the world. At the same time, the process of negotiating with expensive visualization and time-consuming calculations of buildings is automated to the maximum now. For the first time ever in a non-residential construction industry, the client acts as the chief designer and creator of his individual building image.

Thus, the design becomes technologically advanced and approaches as close as possible to the successful implementation of the project. Not all customers know the limitations and permissible compatibility of different materials for the steel building in the vast construction industry. Now many patterns and interdependencies are pre-programmed in the online service for design. Unlike traditional CAD systems, many processes occur on a remote server 24/7.

Huge variety of appearance

Depending on the design decisions, it is possible to create any type of steel structure for free: gable, lean-to, adjacent to the old building, flat roof, buildings with elevations, etc.

Huge variety of appearance

Place and create any framed openings for windows, gates, doors and sky lights in any part of the wall or slope of the steel building.

Apply and use any of the well-known styles for your project yourself: Contemporary, Scandinavian, Loft, Classic, Minimalism, Functionalism, Modern or Asian, depending on your lifestyle, worldview, culture and place of residence.

Unlimited possibilities to showcase your personality

The client can choose hundreds of options for individual color combinations based on the RAL catalog or textures for wood, stone or brick for walls and roofs (panel, horizontal strip, checkerboard pattern, alternating colors in several rows, etc.)

Unlimited possibilities to showcase your personality

Consider how you can organically fit your project inside the city or in the suburbs, taking into account the nearest buildings and structures, colors and local requirements. Now you have all the possibilities for this in the new free online service WebSteel!

Gable roof type

It is the most common and economical steel structure in global markets. 15% cheaper than a single slope roof. It is used in many segments of international industries (hangars, warehouses, offices, shops, workshops, etc.). Without strict requirements for appearance, it is often approved and agreed with the local architectural department.

Single slope roof

A design with 1 slope is used less often and costs about 15% more than a gable roof. Its application is found for extensions to existing buildings, renovations and small buildings.

Flat rood

It is a common choice for buildings with strict requirements for the appearance and special purpose of the building. This is the most beautiful design, but also the most expensive (20-25% more expensive than the gable roof). The angle of the ramp is usually 2 degrees. A parapet with a height of 0.6m is used along the perimeter from above on the roof.

Secondary framing

Included in the building kit. They usually consist of roofing and wall cold-formed profiles with a certain step. The goal is to give horizontal rigidity to the steel frame and create a subsystem for mounting enclosing structures.

Column basis

Included in the building kit. These are prefabricated elements made out of ferrous metal, which are mounted on an anchor group of a foundation for further installation of supporting vertical steel columns. IMPORTANT! An anchor group is usually bought by the client himself or his local installation organization in the place. It might be included for exports operations by request.

100% bolted connection

Included in the building kit. All elements in load-bearing light steel structures are braced and secured with high strength bolts. IMPORTANT! Welding is completely absent during assembly.

Diagonal bracing

Included in the building kit. Usually they consist of a round metal bar, angle or channel, depending on the specific design solutions, building dimensions and climatic zones (loads) The goal is to give horizontal rigidity to the steel frame. In some cases, portal frames or double diagonal ties are used for large building dimensions.

Frame mounting system

Included in the building kit. Usually these are angles or connecting elements on which the girders and auxiliary steel structures for cladding are mounted. Without them, it will not be possible to connect the main and secondary elements of the supporting main steel frame. A thin bent sheet of metal is used for framed openings, walls and roofs.

Doors

Reliable beautiful door entrance, insulated single or double fire doors with closers, windows and various color and anti-vandal solutions can be included in the building kit.

Fittings

Fittings are included by default in the building kit in order to protect the joints of the metal skin from severe weather conditions.

Gates

The buildings are equipped with reliable high-quality insulated industrial gates (with vertical rise, swing, hangar, etc.) of Russian manufacturers (DoorHan, AlluTech) with the ability to add automation, radio control, different color solutions and openings for windows.

Indsutrial Sky Lights

We use innovative patented lights on the roof of the building with filling the dome with cellular polycarbonate of the Russian Leron plant for effective natural lighting (up to 6m wide) with automatic smoke removal and ventilation systems. In the design of supporting structures, the subsystem for lights is taken into account. Customers save significantly on energy savings even on the most winter and cloudy days of the year.

Solar panels

We supply buildings with innovative solar panels based on highly efficient heterostructure modules of the "German Hevel plant" with a battery pack and a diesel generator set. This is an ideal solution for stand-alone and backup power supply with a significant minimization of the cost of operating a building in regions remote from networks. In the design of supporting structures, a system of nodal connections of batteries with a roof is taken into account.

Windows

We supply high-quality double-glazed windows by well-known Russian manufacturers of window systems KBE, Rehau with excellent noise reduction properties, diverse color solutions and a high level of reliability for any building purpose

Information technologies

WebSteel online system - for non-residential buildings from light metal structures

WebSteel - innovative i-cloud 24/7 service, which was created in 2011. in the Russian city of Tula on the basis of a new philosophy of serving customers online in construction idustry - "Smart Techo Design"

WebSteel online system - for non-residential buildings from light metal structures

The role of the designer at PK VESTA is gradually transferred to the client, who designs his individual steel building online within the range of technological capabilities of the factory, followed by placing an order shipped anywhere in the world. It is the radical shift in the business paradigm in global construction markets in a way how the customers will be served online in the future.

"Smart Loads Choice" Technology for Loads

The PK VESTA plant digitized many countries in Eurasia, the Middle East and Africa, which allowed the client to almost instantly determine the combination of basic climatic zones (snow, wind and seismic loads) that directly affect the calculation and determination of the specific metal consumption at the place of the click on the construction of the future building in the WebSteel system individual building.

"Smart Loads Choice" Technology for Loads

The development team spent several years working with the refinement of many parameters and data in different countries (regarding the snow, wind and seismic loads) If desired, the client himself can increase the load upwards with the subsequent auto recalculation of the cost of the frame (including the metal consumption)

"Smart Metal Calculation" Technology to Calculate Optimum Metal Consumption

The most valuable feature of the WebSteel system is the automatic calculation of the metal consumption of the load-bearing steel frames in real time on a web server with an error of 3 to 10%

"Smart Metal Calculation" Technology to Calculate Optimum Metal Consumption

Calculating the price of buildings is the most time-consuming and expensive process for any plant, usually requiring a large number of engineers and designers in the local office to serve customers, especially when it comes to export operations. Any inaccuracies or errors in the calculation of metal consumption sharply increase the cost of the building and lead to the loss of customers among building suppliers.

The international group of developers of the PK VESTA plant spent over 10 years creating a unique online icloud algorithm for instant and most accurate calculation of frame weights depending on the types of structures (gable or single slope roof, flat roof), types of production technologies (LSGF, HYBRID systems or welded H-beams), a combination of climate zones (snow, wind and seismic), the availability of accessories (Skylights on the roof, parapets, framed openings for gates, doors and windows, etc.) and many other factors affecting the final calculation of the cost of the frame - all in real time.

"Smart Instant Visualization" Technology for Realistic Building Visualization

We have implemented an innovative browser-based 3D engine for instant visualization of individual buildings in real time, completely leaving the old resource-intensive Flesh developments.

"Smart Instant Visualization" Technology for Realistic Building Visualization

The view of the building in WebSteel has become technologically advanced and almost completely connected with the technical capabilities of the PK VESTA plant. The main emphasis was placed on the accessibility and speed of displaying a highly realistic 3D building model on the most common devices (including mobile versions of smartphones) A flexible online model was obtained, which quickly changes when the building dimensions, colors, openings (gates, doors and windows) and types of structures are created . And we gave the client the opportunity to do all this for free so that he himself decided on the specific order of the building kit at the factory. It only took several years to create one visualization online module in WebSteel.

"Smart Document Generation" Technology for Free Documentation

The parameterized system environment allows you to process all selected building parameters and create a single online document with a detailed technical task, a detailed commercial offer (prices for design, building, installation, foundation, floors and delivery) and basic sketches.

"Smart Document Generation" Technology for Free Documentation

The contract for familiarization with the lawyer and the invoice are also attached to the free documentation. And this is all for free! Working with WebSteel has become pleasant, convenient and understandable for people without technical education. Free sketches can be easily printed out from the online system and provided to local regulatory authorities in any country, investors or business partners.

Quality

Manufacturing accuracy

We have one of the lowest error margins in the manufacture of high-tech products in the international construction market in the range of + -1mm

Manufacturing accuracy

In the manufacture of load-bearing steel structures made out of LSGF - the error in punching holes, cutting profiles in length and the process of cold-formed profiling of elements is of great importance at the stage of assembly of the building. Unlike other plants, where the error in the center distance between the holes can reach + -3 or 4mm, we strictly adhere to a deviation of + -1mm on highly automated industrial European equipment, which gives an almost perfect guarantee for the successful installation of the steel frame (joining of different elements with many holes) when exporting a steel building to distant countries and regions (Asia, the Middle East or Africa) Plus, we exclude cases with the effect of mushroom, crescent and alignment of metal elements, which also often makes installation process more time consuming or even impossible. Work with thin metal borders on Art with us, where manufacturing accuracy helps put the building into operation faster for further successful work anywhere in the world.

Russian metal S350 with I class of galvanizing (275 g / sq.m.)

The use of any other classes of galvanizing II or III leads to a more rapid appearance of corrosion, especially if the building is used near water or with a high level of humidity or an ammonia aggressive environment indoors.

Russian metal S350 with I class of galvanizing (275 g / sq.m.)

The metallurgy in Russia, rich in resources, occupies one of the leading positions in the world in terms of output and quality. For the domestic market and export operations, PK VESTA uses only premium metal from well-known Russian metallurgical plants Severstal and Novolipetsk MK, which for many years have exported their products to many regions of the world - Eurasia, North and Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. The use of metal from other countries (for example, Chinese) may not always meet quality standards and impair the physical and mechanical properties of load-bearing structures.

Reliability factors

We do not "play with the reliability of the building" in order to reduce the metal consumption of the building to critical values and lower the cost of the steel frame. Some of our specialists have been designing steel buildings since 1980. taking into account modern building codes. Since that time, not a single building has fallen down!

Reliability factors

In addition to the quality of materials, the price of steel buildings largely depends on the design methods and the calculation of reliability factors. Among the players in the construction markets, there is a tendency to underestimate these coefficients (say, instead of 1 to 2 they make 1 to 1.5) in order to minimize the metal consumption of the steel structures and, accordingly, get a sharp decrease in the cost of the frame (up to 20-30%), which leads to the risk of building collapse and partial deformation of the main elements at the most unfavorable combination of loads (for example, a squalling long strong crosswind or a constant alternation of thaw and frost) And such cases cannot be ruled out. PK VESTA never goes down the red line, as it values its reputation and reliability of steel buildings. Since 1991, not a single building of PK VESTA has fallen down.
