Hybrid Buildings
Innovative Hybrid Buildings & Techniques
Hybrid buildings in construction combine the benefits of conventional steel with traditional pre-engineered building systems. The economical alternative to design, engineer, supply and erect hybrid structures gives the Metal Building Group a leading advantage in the metal construction industry.
Key Components
- A standing seam metal roof (SSR) or metal wall system
- Cold rolled steel wall girts and roof purlins
- Conventional steel-laced columns
- Pre-engineered steel framing system on top of or adding to conventional steel columns and structures
Hybrid Planning Considerations
- Support for heavy overhead cranes
- Stringent deflection limitations
- Large equipment support
- High building heights and large spans
- Harsh environmental conditions
- Other operational specifics and needs
