Metal Buildings for Military Use
Ostro Steel Structures has established itself as a reliable partner for many military bases, assisting in the creation of various essential infrastructures. From firearms training ranges to storage buildings and maintenance structures, our metal building systems cater to diverse military needs. Our buildings stand out with their 100% clearspan designs, offering open floor spaces without interior columns. This feature is ideal for facilities that require large, unobstructed areas. In addition, our design engineers are well versed in building codes and specifications required for military and other government installations.
Our metal buildings are highly adaptable, suiting multiple military applications. Storage building needs vary greatly, and our structures can be tailored to hold anything from ammunition to large vehicles safely. In firearms training, clearspan designs can be engineered both to meet ballistic requirements and provide the needed space for various training setups and scenarios. These configurations not only meet the spatial requirements but also ensure that military operations run smoothly without unnecessary obstructions. Additionally, the durability of our metal buildings ensures they withstand the intense activities typical in military environments.
In 2020, over 150 military facilities across the country utilized our metal building systems, a testament to their reliability and efficiency. Moreover, the maintenance structures we provide are designed to house large and complex equipment, making routine and emergency repairs more manageable and efficient. This versatility makes our metal buildings an excellent investment, designed to meet a wide range of military requirements.
Ostro Steel Structures are engineered for stability and longevity. They can endure harsh weather conditions, ensuring that military operations are less likely to be interrupted by external factors. Our commitment to quality and precision has made us a preferred choice for military infrastructure projects. We understand the unique demands of the military and strive to provide structures that enhance operational effectiveness and safety.
Customizable Architectural Facades
One of the significant advantages of Ostro Steel Structures is the ease with which our buildings can be configured to support various architectural facades. In addition to our standard purlin-bearing rib (“PBR”) paneling with baked-on, siliconized polyester coatings in a wide variety of color choices, these facades can include traditional masonry, commercial glass, curtain wall systems, insulated metal paneling, aluminum composite material (ACM) panels, and modern fiber cement designs. This customization allows military facilities to maintain a visually appealing and professional appearance while meeting functionality requirements.
Our architectural facades not only enhance the visual appeal but also improve the building’s performance. For example, insulated metal paneling can significantly increase the energy efficiency of the building, reducing heating and cooling costs. This feature is particularly beneficial in regions with extreme temperatures, ensuring that military personnel remain comfortable and operational costs stay low. In fact, studies have shown that well-insulated buildings can reduce energy costs by up to 50%.
We understand the importance of blending functionality with aesthetics. Our design team works closely with military clients to ensure the façade complements the surrounding environment and meets specific aesthetic preferences. Whether the requirement is for a sleek, modern look or a more traditional appearance, our customizable options cater to all visual and practical needs.
Our facades also contribute to the security of the buildings. Our standard PBR profile can be specified to include tamper-resistant fasteners, and materials like masonry, ACM panels and fiber cement are not only durable but also add an extra layer of protection against environmental and man-made threats. This ensures that the buildings are not only visually appealing but also fortified against potential hazards, enhancing the overall security of the military facilities.
