Structural steel is always in style

The style and strength of steel buildings continues to be a popular choice for industrial purposes on the South Coast. The more obvious examples are warehouses and factories but other effective options include structures for showrooms or retail shopping.

Landmark South Coast firm Margate Engineering has been at the forefront of the region’s security and engineering industry for over half a century and is unique in its ability to fabricate heavy structural steel locally. Managing Director Geoff Howard-Tripp explains some of the advantages, "Since a steel structure can be put up so much more quickly than a traditional building, there can be a substantial cost savings – even though the building is fundamentally stronger. In addition to having much more freedom of design, there is a reduced risk of fire and the building is termite proof."

Geoff continues, "Margate Engineering also hires out its own 15 ton crane with a 20 metre boom, making it more than ideal for structural steel installations. As such, we can be a 'one stop shop' on the South Coast to keep the contractor from the expense and inconvenience of sourcing materials and services from Durban."
