Key Engineering Result Commissioned on schedule; thermal camera inspections verified zero condensation or thermal bridging across entire building envelope.

The Project Challenge

-25°C continuous internal cold room operating temperature requiring thermal bridge-free roof truss joints and heavy dynamic dock loading capacity.

The SerBuild Engineering Solution

Engineered rigid portal frames with specialized polyamide thermal isolation brackets and heavy insulated floor anchor embeds to prevent sub-slab frost heave.

Delivered Technical Scope

  • NBN EN 1993 Eurocode static calculation dossier with sub-zero steel impact toughness testing
  • Heavy portal frames shot-blasted to SA 2.5 with 160-micron marine epoxy finish
  • 150mm QuadCore PIR cold storage wall and ceiling insulated sandwich panels
  • Delivered directly to Antwerp logistics port via 10 container loads

Frequently Asked Questions

Detailed answers to technical, manufacturing, export, and on-site assembly questions.

SerBuild designs and manufactures light gauge steel (LGSF) and heavy structural steel buildings for residential developments, industrial warehouses, manufacturing factories, aircraft hangars, commercial offices, and agricultural halls.

Yes. All structural engineering is performed strictly according to Eurocodes (EN 1990, EN 1991, EN 1993, EN 1998) including project-specific National Annex parameters for local snow, wind, and seismic loads.

We offer five flexible delivery packages: Engineering Only, Supply Only (containerized flat-pack kit), Supply with On-Site Supervision, Complete Frame Installation, and Turnkey Project Delivery in eligible regions.

Components are precision roll-formed or cut, permanent piece-marked, and packed in dense weather-protected flat-pack bundles optimized for 40ft High Cube containers, accompanied by detailed 3D packing lists and assembly manuals.
