03 / Process
Every steel structure follows a strict quality workflow. From accurate 3D modeling through certified welding to professional erection.
We prepare or audit technical documentation, performing structural calculations for load capacity, wind, snow and dynamic crane loads according to Eurocodes.
Profiles are cut and drilled on CNC lines and welded in full compliance with EN 1090-2 (execution class EXC-3) under IWE supervision.
Steel is blast-cleaned to Sa 2.5 and finished with certified multi-layer paint systems, fire protection or hot-dip galvanizing to ISO 12944 up to C5-I.
We handle transport of oversized components, mobile cranes and on-site erection by certified crews, delivering full CE certification documentation.
04 / Why steel & BUREX advantages
Steel structures form the load-bearing skeleton of modern industrial and logistics construction. Thanks to low self-weight, large clear spans without internal columns and rapid erection, they provide the most cost-effective solution for production halls and warehouse halls.
Steel structures are designed and manufactured to order — based on structural analysis, applied load combinations and specific operational requirements. Load-bearing profiles IPE, HEA and HEB are assembled using bolted and welded connections for optimal joint stiffness and structural efficiency. Surface treatments match environmental corrosivity up to C5-I according to ISO 12944.
When building an industrial hall with crane equipment, conflicts frequently arise between the hall builder and the crane manufacturer. With BUREX, this risk is eliminated. We design and fabricate the hall frame with integrated corbels and crane runways engineered precisely for the dynamic loads of your overhead crane (1 to 80 tonnes).
You deal with a single contractual partner, unified warranty and guaranteed seamless crane operation without costly structural retrofits. Complete turnkey construction including cladding is covered by our prefabricated steel halls.
For general contractors and developers, steel structures significantly compress construction schedules. For building operators, large spans (20 to 40 m) without internal columns maximize unobstructed floor space for automated logistics and manufacturing lines.
Our manufacturing in Michalovce follows EN 1090-2 execution class EXC-3, welding certified to EN ISO 3834-2 and personnel certified to EN ISO 9606-1. We deliver and erect steel structures across Slovakia and Central Europe.
05 / Pricing
The cost of a steel structure is calculated individually based on project drawings and the bill of quantities. An indicative construction budget breakdown is available in our prefabricated hall cost guide.
Turnkey steel structure costs (fabrication + coating + erection) typically range from €1,800 to €3,500 excl. VAT per ton. Send us your drawings or bill of quantities and we will prepare a free engineering proposal and budget quotation.

07 / FAQ
Common answers for developers, structural engineers and site managers before commissioning fabrication.
We manufacture load-bearing steel frames for industrial and warehouse halls (truss and portal systems), canopies, technological walkways, pipe racks, bridge railings, traffic signage portals and custom weldments built to client documentation.
Fabrication conforms to EN 1090-2 in execution class EXC-3 (including EXC-2 and EXC-1). Welding is certified to EN ISO 3834-2 and our welders are certified to EN ISO 9606-1 under the supervision of an International Welding Engineer (IWE).
The cost of a steel structure is calculated individually based on structural engineering, total tonnage, profile types (IPE, HEA, HEB), selected corrosion protection (protective paint vs hot-dip galvanizing vs fire protection) and site installation complexity. Learn more in our prefabricated hall budget guide. We provide a detailed technical quotation upon receiving drawings or bill of quantities.
Yes, this is our key competitive advantage. Being an overhead crane manufacturer, we design the hall skeleton with integrated corbels and crane runways engineered for the exact dynamic load of the crane (1–80 t). You receive both structure and lifting equipment from a single source without interface risks.
We provide surface preparation by shot-blasting to Sa 2.5, synthetic and 2-component epoxy/polyurethane systems, certified fire-retardant intumescent coatings (R15–R60), metallization and hot-dip galvanizing up to corrosion class C5-I per ISO 12944.
EXC-2 covers standard statically loaded buildings and warehouses. EXC-3 is stricter and mandatory for dynamically loaded structures — halls with crane runways, bridges, and higher-consequence facilities. It mandates an International Welding Engineer (IWE), non-destructive testing (VT, MT, UT), and 100% traceability of mill test certificates. BUREX manufactures to EXC-3 as standard.
Shop fabrication typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from approval of structural calculations and shop drawings. On-site steel skeleton erection takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on hall dimensions and tonnage. Thanks to precise CNC fabrication, on-site assembly is fast and predictable.
Yes. Our manufacturing facilities are based in Michalovce, but we deliver, survey, erect and hand over steel structures throughout Slovakia and neighboring Central European regions.
