When designing and constructing hangars and steel structures, success does not rely solely on selecting high-quality materials, but also on choosing the right installation method.

There are two main methods for installing steel structures:
- Full Lift Method
In this method, the roof or structure is pre-assembled on the ground as a single unit or as large connected sections, and then lifted using heavy cranes.
This method is typically used when the project is large, open, and has sufficient space and strong crane capacity.
Advantages of this method include:
- Significantly faster installation
- Less work at height, improving safety
- Higher assembly accuracy
However, it requires powerful lifting equipment and careful planning for weight and balance.
- Piece-by-Piece Assembly
In some projects, especially those with limited space or complex designs, the structure is assembled element by element.
The process usually starts with installing columns, followed by main beams, secondary beams, and finally the roof.
Advantages of this method include:
- Greater flexibility in tight spaces
- No need for large cranes
- Suitable for complex structures that require step-by-step assembly
However, it is slower and involves more work at height, making safety measures even more critical.
Key Factors in Choosing a Method
The choice between the two methods depends on the shape of the structure, its weight, engineering complexity, available space, and equipment.
For example, a truss can often be lifted as a single unit because it forms a rigid system, whereas individual beams need gradual assembly to achieve stability after connecting.
At Hassanoglu Company, we carefully study all these factors before starting execution to ensure that the project is safe, fast, cost-effective, and of the highest quality standards.
Conclusion:
Choosing the correct installation method is not just a practical step—it is a strategic engineering decision that ensures the project’s success in terms of safety, speed, and efficiency.
