Steel portal Frame buildings are often specified for large warehouses, industrial buildings which may have a plant line or have large machinery, supermarkets, sports arena's and other large buildings where a column free space is the design requirement. In New Zealand this is one of the widely used building construction technique due to faster construction, easy maintenance and a well documented and predicted seismic response.

​

AB Consulting Engineers have extensive experience in design and detailing of large portal frame buildings around the world. New Substation at Corus Steel in UK, New Essex Waste recycling facility in UK, New Garden Centre at Jeddah International Airport, Saudi Arabia, and a new custom-built warehouse at hull road, Tauranga, New Zealand are some of the projects where we have specified steel portal frames.
