Tailor-made solutions for complex requirements
Standard solutions reach their limits where large spans, heavy loads or specific functional requirements come into play. Complex steel structures require in-depth engineering expertise, precise planning and close coordination between all parties involved in the project.
Astron develops bespoke structural solutions for industrial, logistics and infrastructure projects. From crane runway girders and technical platforms, through multi-storey supporting structures, to 100-metre self-supporting steel structures, we create solutions that combine technical requirements with economic feasibility.
Through close collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and project management, complex requirements are taken into account at an early stage and translated into designs suitable for on-site assembly. This results in steel structures that function reliably even under exceptional conditions.

ADDED VALUE FOR MAIN CONTRACTORS
SECURITY FOR DEMANDING PROJECTS
Complex steel structures have an impact on a project’s costs, deadlines and workflows. By incorporating technical expertise at an early stage, robust solutions are developed that support planning, tendering and execution.
Predictable project workflows
Technical requirements are taken into account at an early stage and translated into feasible structural solutions.Greater certainty in cost estimation
Robust planning foundations provide clarity for tendering, budgeting and contract award.Efficient execution
Designs optimised for assembly ensure a smooth workflow on site.Fewer interface risks
Close coordination between engineering, manufacturing and construction reduces coordination efforts and technical ambiguities.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
STEEL STRUCTURES FOR INDUSTRY AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Complex steel structures often fulfil far more functions than simply bracing a building. They provide space for technical installations, support heavy loads or integrate additional functions into the overall design of a structure.
Main structural systems for industrial buildings
Steel structures form the foundation of many industrial, logistics and infrastructure projects. They create large column-free spaces, enable flexible building designs and form the basis for cost-effective production facilities, logistics centres, data centres and other complex construction projects.
Depending on the intended use, a variety of structural systems are employed – ranging from classic steel frames and truss girders to custom-designed special structures. These are tailored to span requirements, load specifications, technical installations and future extensions.
Platforms and technical stages
Technical installations require safe and durable load-bearing structures. Platforms, maintenance platforms and technical platforms provide the necessary conditions for the installation, operation and maintenance of machinery, utility systems and building services.
Particularly in data centres, production facilities and technical infrastructure projects, these steel structures fulfil important functions within the overall design. Customised dimensions, load requirements and accessibility are taken into account right from the planning stage.
Crane runways and heavy-duty areas
Production processes involving crane systems and heavy machinery place particular demands on the supporting structure and design. Crane runway girders, heavy-load areas and specialised supporting structures must be capable of withstanding high static and dynamic loads over the long term and be safely integrated into the overall building.
Astron develops steel structures for various load classes and production requirements. Loads, intended uses and future operational processes are taken into account right from the early stages of a project in order to create cost-effective solutions that are easy to assemble.
False ceilings and supporting structures
Multi-storey steel structures create additional usable space within a building and enable the integration of technical, storage, production or operational areas. They help to make efficient use of existing space and accommodate complex functional requirements within a building.
From technical mezzanine floors in data centres to load-bearing structures for production and logistics processes, solutions are created that can be flexibly adapted to the requirements of each individual project.
Customised special designs
Not every project can be realised using standardised solutions. Unusual geometries, exceptional load requirements or complex technical constraints call for bespoke steel structures and customised structural solutions.
Astron develops bespoke designs for industrial, infrastructure and engineering projects where specific requirements are paramount. Close collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and project management results in cost-effective solutions that combine technical feasibility with efficient execution.

STEEL STRUCTURES FOR INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS
COST-EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPLEX STEEL STRUCTURES
In modern industrial and infrastructure projects, complex steel structures fulfil far more functions than simply bracing buildings. Whether large-span steel frameworks, supporting structures for industrial plants, platforms for technical installations, crane runway girders for heavy-duty areas or bespoke special structures – every solution must combine technical requirements, cost-effectiveness and feasibility.
Astron develops and delivers bespoke steel structures for production buildings, logistics centres, data centres and technical infrastructure. Close collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and project management results in structural solutions designed to withstand high loads, span large distances and meet complex functional requirements. The intended use, assembly procedures and technical constraints are taken into account right from the early stages of the project.
From main structural frames and service platforms to intermediate floors and bespoke solutions, we create steel structures that support safe project delivery and ensure long-term flexibility of use. In this way, even the most demanding requirements are transformed into cost-effective and feasible solutions.
