Solution · Crane buildings
Crane halls engineered around the crane
Workshops, fabrication shops and maintenance halls with 5 to 50 tonne overhead cranes – runway girders, brackets and bracing designed and fabricated with the frame, so the crane runs true from day one.

One designer for the frame and the runway
Most crane problems on site start at an interface: a bracket that does not match the girder, a rail that cannot be aligned, a column that sways when the crane brakes. We remove those interfaces by designing the frame, the crane brackets or stepped columns, the runway girders and the surge bracing together, from the wheel loads your crane supplier provides.
Girders are welded, cambered and fatigue-checked in our plant, with rail seats prepared and bolt holes drilled to the alignment tolerances your erector will need. See also crane runway beams for retrofit packages.

Codes & compliance
Designed for Philippine approval
The codes our engineers work to on Philippine projects – and the approvals your project team will obtain with our documents.
Philippines
- NSCP 2015 Vol. 1National Structural Code of the Philippines – loads, wind (Sec. 207), seismic (Sec. 208) and steel design
- AISC 360 / AISC 341Structural steel design and seismic provisions, as referenced by NSCP Chapter 5
- AISI S100Cold-formed steel members – purlins, girts and eave struts
- AWS D1.1Structural welding – procedures, welders and inspection
- ISO 12944Corrosion protection by paint systems, by corrosivity category C2–C5
- PD 1096 · RA 9514National Building Code and Fire Code of the Philippines (Revised IRR 2019)
- Engineer of record
- Plans and calculations signed and sealed by a Philippine-licensed civil or structural engineer for the building permit
- Fire safety
- Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance (FSEC) from the BFP before the permit; fire-resistance ratings per type of construction
Summary for orientation only – the project specification, the adopted code edition and the authority having jurisdiction govern.
Engineering
Ready for a bigger crane
Businesses grow and cranes get heavier. If you expect to upgrade capacity or add a second crane, we design the columns and foundations reactions for it now – a small extra tonnage that avoids a costly rebuild later.
Engineering
Built for Zone 4 as well as the crane
Crane buildings carry heavy masses high up, which makes seismic design critical. Columns, bracing and connections are detailed for ductility to NSCP 2015 so the building and the crane survive a major earthquake.

Frequently asked questions
What information do you need to quote a crane building?
The building size and location, crane capacity, span, hook height and duty class. If you already have a crane offer, send the wheel loads.
Do you supply the crane itself?
No. We supply the structure and runway; the crane comes from your crane supplier, and we coordinate clearances and loads with them.
Can you strengthen an existing building for a crane?
Often yes. After a structural check we supply new crane columns, girders and bracing as a retrofit package.
