Our patented, flexible, and custom Long Bay System is a high-performance solution for large-scale projects
American Steel Buildings is pleased to offer you a high-performance solution for your large-scale project needs. Our patented Long Bay® System (LBS) is custom-engineered to accommodate structures requiring expanded areas of open floor space, while allowing for uncommon flexibility in architectural design.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
You’ll find LBS enables you to achieve an ideal balance of alignment and functionality for such structures as manufacturing facilities, warehouses and certain retail buildings. Open web truss secondary-framing provides roof support and simplifies the installation of mechanical and electrical systems. Less bridging, fewer footings and a reduced number of columns result in significant overall cost savings and compatibility with multiple wall and roofing systems gives you increased flexibility in construction design.
Before you get started on your next building project, be sure to give the professionals at American Steel Buildings and Components a call. We look forward to demonstrating all the advantages of our Long Bay® System — and to developing a custom metal building solution for you.
