The new safety standards in metal construction
In a world where infrastructure security is more scrutinized than ever, the metal construction industry faces constant evolution of standards and regulations. Afcorep, as a leader in the field, adapts and anticipates these changes to guarantee the maximum security of all its projects.
The Evolution of Safety Standards
The metal construction industry is evolving rapidly, driven by technological innovations and increased safety requirements. The new standards aim to strengthen the resilience of structures to natural and human challenges, ranging from earthquakes and extreme weather conditions to fires and dynamic loads from everyday use.
Implications for Metal Construction
Fire resistance
New regulations require materials and coatings that improve the fire resistance of metal structures, extending their structural integrity in the event of a fire.
Earthquake and Seismic Loads
Seismic risk areas see more rigid metal building standards, with design requirements aimed at absorbing and dissipating seismic energy, thereby protecting buildings and their occupants.
Durability and Material Fatigue
Material fatigue is now a point of increased vigilance, with standards specifying more stringent testing methods and tougher selection criteria for materials used in construction.
Control and Certification
Control and certification processes have intensified, involving more frequent inspections and compliance audits throughout the life cycle of a structure.
