Truss Frameworks
Truss frameworks fabricated as complete units: circular pipe trusses, square tube trusses, angle steel trusses and H- or I-beam trusses, CNC-profiled at the joints, shop-welded in transport lengths and trial-assembled so each truss arrives ready for bolting. This page details the truss units themselves; the Steel Truss Systems line page covers the full package with web members, bracing and high-strength bolts.

Advantages vs Engineering Considerations
| Advantages | Engineering Considerations |
|---|---|
| Pipe truss for terminals and stationsCircular tubular trusses are the format specified for airport terminals, railway stations and large canopies; members are CNC profiled and fit-up is checked in the shop before shipping. | Depth-to-span ratio drives stiffness; shallow trusses deflect more and may need camber. |
| Long-span roofs without internal columnsTruss depth and chord sections are set from your span and roof loads, giving clear halls for logistics, exhibition and sport. | Truss chords are transported in segments and spliced on site; splice positions follow transport limits. |
| Trial assembly of complex nodesTrusses with three-dimensional nodes are trial-assembled in the yard with dimensional reports before shipping. | Tubular joints depend on weld quality and inspection; closed sections are harder to repair after coating. |
| Dual certificationAISC certified and CE marked to EN 1090-2 EXC2 under certificate 2787-CPR-01627. | Lateral bracing and purlin restraint are part of the truss design, not an afterthought. |

Detailed Engineering & Shop Drawing Development
Utilizing advanced BIM platforms such as Tekla Structures, detailed 3D modeling and shop drawings are executed strictly in compliance with AISC 360 or Eurocode 3 (EN 1993). Connection designs are rigorously verified, with manufacturing drawings generated to ISO 2768-m tolerance standards. 100% clash detection with primary architectural and MEP systems is performed to ensure zero structural conflicts during field erection.
Nesting & Material Optimization
Intelligent nesting layouts are performed using advanced software like FastCAM/SigmaNEST in accordance with EN 10029 / ASTM A6 dimensional standards. Accounting for cutting kerf (2mm-5mm depending on plate thickness) and thermal contraction allowances, raw material utilization exceeds 92%. Offcuts are digitally barcode-tracked to ensure 100% mill test report (MTR) traceability.
Raw Material Incoming Inspection
All structural steel (Q355B/C/D, ASTM A572 Gr.50, S355JR/J2) must be accompanied by EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Reports (MTR). Incoming quality control conducts 100% dimensional and visual inspections under ASTM A6 / EN 10029, verifying thickness tolerances (Class A/B) and internal lamination integrity via Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to ASTM A435. Chemical composition and mechanical properties are spot-verified by accredited 3rd-party labs.
CNC Cutting & Edge Preparation
Plate profiling and component cutting are executed via CNC oxy-fuel, high-definition plasma, and multi-kW fiber laser equipment. Cut surface quality strictly complies with EN ISO 9013 for perpendicularity and surface roughness (Range 3/4 tolerance). Multi-axis CNC beveling machines execute weld prep bevel angles within ±2.5° and root face dimensions within ±1.0 mm.
Primary Structural Welding
Welding is performed exclusively by AWS D1.1 or EN ISO 9606 certified welders using qualified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) supported by Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) per AWS D1.1 / ISO 15614. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) dominate Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) and fillet welds. Heat input is strictly controlled, achieving weld quality levels conforming to ISO 5817 Quality Level B or AWS D1.1 standards.
Weld Distortion Straightening
Post-weld angular distortion, camber, and sweep are rectified using automated hydraulic flange straighteners and controlled thermal flame straightening. Heating temperatures for High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) steels are strictly maintained between 600-650 Celsius (air-cooled, zero water quenching) to prevent microstructural degradation. Post-straightening straightness tolerances meet ±3 mm, conforming to EN 1090-2 Execution Class 2 (EXC2) and AISC COSP standards.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
NDT protocols are operated by ISO 9712 / ASNT Level II certified NDT personnel. 100% of critical Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) welds undergo Ultrasonic Testing (UT per ISO 17640 / ASTM E164) or Magnetic Particle Testing (MT per ISO 17638 / ASTM E709). Radiographic Testing (RT) is applied as requested for heavy sections. Weld acceptance conforms strictly to ISO 11666 Acceptance Level 1 or AWS D1.1 criteria.
Trial Assembly & Shop Alignment
Complex geometries, long-span trusses, and heavy framing undergo 1:1 physical trial assembly or high-precision 3D laser scanning virtual assembly per EN 1090-2 / AISC requirements. Bolt hole alignment is verified (≥95% free-pass rate for high-strength bolts), and critical dimensions (span, camber, 3D spatial alignment) are verified within tight tolerance limits (±2.0 mm) to eliminate site fitting risks.
Surface Preparation & Protective Coating
Structural members undergo automated shot blasting to achieve SSPC-SP10 / NACE No. 2 / ISO 8501-1 Sa 2.5 cleanliness, with a surface profile (anchor depth) of 45-75 microns. High-performance protective coatings are applied using airless spray technology in compliance with ISO 12944 (C3 to CX corrosive environments), featuring Zinc-Rich Epoxy Primers, Epoxy Micaceous Iron Oxide Intermediate coats, and Polyurethane/Fluorocarbon Topcoats. Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is verified adhering strictly to the 90/10 rule.
Final Quality Inspection & Certification
Final Quality Control (FQC) performs a comprehensive audit, inspecting paint aesthetics (zero runs, pinholes, sagging), critical geometry, bolt hole pitches, and component mark traceability. A complete Manufacturing Data Report (MDR) comprising MTRs, NDT records, coating inspection logs, and Certificates of Conformance is compiled to support CE Marking (DoP under EN 1090) and AISC final acceptance.
Export Packaging & Logistics Protection
Protective packaging is engineered for containerized (40HQ/OT/FR) and breakbulk ocean freight under heavy maritime transit conditions. Structural members are bundled on heavy-duty steel skids with high-tensile steel strapping. Machined connections are wrapped with VCI anti-corrosion film, EPE foam padding, and heavy rubber cushions. All timber packing complies fully with ISPM 15 phytosanitary standards and IMO Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS) rules.
Global Field Erection & Site Management
We deliver international site erection supervision and turnkey EPCM construction services adhering to OSHA 1926 safety protocols, AISC COSP, and EN 1090-2 erection standards. Field teams, led by multilingual HSE and QA/QC engineers, utilize high-precision total stations to maintain structural plumbness within H/1000 (25mm max). High-Strength Structural Bolting is executed via calibrated Wrench or Turn-of-Nut methods with 100% torque audit documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you fabricate tubular trusses for an airport terminal or railway station roof?
Yes. Send the roof plan, truss profiles and loads; circular pipe trusses are CNC-profiled, shop-welded in transport lengths and trial-assembled before shipping.
What span can a steel roof truss system reach without internal columns?
It depends on truss depth, chord sections and roof loads; the hangar and stadium scenes on this site show the range. Send the span and loads and we propose the truss type.
Do you carry out trial assembly before shipping?
For geometrically complex trusses, yes — 1:1 physical trial assembly in our yard with dimensional reports and photographs before the members are coated and packed. It is the cheapest insurance against site rework on long-span work.
Pipe, angle or box truss — which do you recommend?
It follows the span, the exposure and whether the truss is visible. Circular pipe trusses look cleanest and shed water; angle trusses are the most economical for concealed spans; box sections carry the highest loads. Send the span and whether the structure is architecturally exposed.
Can you supply this sub-system on its own, without the full frame?
Yes. We quote sub-systems separately where the scope makes sense — for example secondary framing or bracing against an existing structure. Send the BOQ and connection details of the receiving structure so the interfaces are engineered rather than assumed.
Which design code do you fabricate to?
Whichever your design specifies. Design intent to AISC 360 or Eurocode 3 (EN 1993), execution to EN 1090-2 EXC2 under certificate 2787-CPR-01627.
Do you substitute section sizes or grades?
Never without written approval. If a specified section has a long lead time we propose the alternative with the calculation showing equivalence, and you decide.
What documentation ships with these components?
Mill test certificates per heat, WPS/PQR, welder qualification certificates, NDT reports with technician level, and coating thickness records against the specified ISO 12944 system.
What is a realistic lead time?
The standard cycle for a single-building scope is 40 to 50 days: 1–2 weeks to shop drawings for your approval, then 4–5 weeks for procurement, fabrication, coating and loading.
