June 29, 2010 - PRLog -- A longtime structural steel supplier and fabricator, Armour Steel Supply Ltd. of Ontario, http://www.armoursteel.ca has launched a comprehensive web site detailing the products, applications and benefits of pre-engineered metal building systems. Meant for property developers, owners and contractors, http://www.canadianmetalbuildings.com, explains the design/build approach for metal buildings, illustrates a wide array of structures, and examines how modern PEMBs can fulfill LEED pursuits.

http://www.canadianmetalbuildings.com enables visitors to search through several pre-eng metal building structural framing possibilities, roof and wall panel systems, plus accessory and architectural options that enhance the appearance and flexibility of a pre-engineered steel building.

What Buildings Commonly Use Pre Engineered Metal Building Technology
Illustrations of distinct applications of pre-eng steel buildings are offered on www.canadianmetalbuildings.com. Among these are warehouse and distribution facilities, manufacturing structures, agricultural and materials storage and handling facilities and community buildings such as schools , recreation centers and fieldhouses. The range of applications of pre engineered metal buildings is amply confirmed through these illustrations.

The Significance of Certifications
Among the applicable standards and certifications received are IAS Accreditation Criteria for Inspection Programs for Manufacturers of Metal Building Systems (AC472) . Another is CAN/CSA A660, which is the standard set by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for pre-eng steel buildings. According to the standard, a metal building's structural components must be engineered as a total building system and produced at a principal location with the producer responsible for the engineering design and accepted fabrication practices. Finally, the National Building Code of Canada calls for metal buildings and their structural steel members to be designed in compliance with CSA-S16.1 "Limit States Design of Steel Structures." This standard requires manufacturers welding steel structures to be credentialed by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB).
